Abstract

The purpose of this work is to take an existing face-to-face color theory class taught in the context of a graphic arts program and adapt it for online delivery in spite of some important technical challenges. New technologies and higher-level thinking assessments incorporated into the online version were not previously utilized in the traditional classroom version. Textbook shortcomings are heavily supplemented through the use of multimodal images, texts, audio, instructional videos and interactive content. Given that online classes are often shared additional information is provided to faculty explaining the intent of certain content, how specific content fits with the rest of the program curriculum, and stories from the trenches gathered from working with previous students.
