​Introduction to Addictions, Mental Health, and Concurrent Disorders

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Key Considerations: Clear learning outcomes and sensitive subject matter

This course was created for Ontario Learn. I utilized elements of ADDIE and SAM instructional design models were used - Analysis, Iterative Design, Iterative Development, Iterative Review, and Implement. Content created by the Subject Matter Expert was divided into 'digestible chunks'. Clear course and module outcomes were defined and I ensured that assessments mapped back to the outcomes.

The 15-week courses is split into four modules.
