Introduction The Denver Aquarium would like to transform one of their exhibits, “The Shipwreck,” into an e-learning experience. The goal is to feature e-learning in this most popular section of the aquarium to promote additional education to the general public, ages 7+ to high school level would be an appropriate general audience target. However this does not mean the e-learning would be inaccessible or unappealing to younger audiences. Three kiosks will feature the e-learning module as a companion to the exhibit in addition to availability on mobile devices. The exhibit, at minimum, features moon jellyfish, sea nettles, brown sharks, sand tiger sharks, and green sawfish. Therefore, the e-learning material will cover material regarding these species of sea life. The Problem The Shipwreck exhibit is a popular and crowded exhibit. Some animals are hard to see and the exhibit materials about these creatures may be physically blocked by guests. The exhibit is poorly lit and some of the information may be hard to read because of the lighting. There is also a need for more educational materials for this exhibit to meet the needs of the programs offered at the aquarium such as “home school days.” If the aquarium is understaffed, the e-learning material can take the place of face to face presentations and discussion. The e-learning materials will provide opportunities for the general family oriented audience. Solution In summary the e-learning material will: • Educate visitors beyond the constraints of the physically crowded exhibit • Provide e-learning material in place of out of date presentations and material • Create opportunities for additional learning about the “Shipwreck” exhibit Methodology Although the creator of the e-learning is not affiliated or works for the aquarium, some analysis can be completed through observational analysis and research on aquariums and species of the exhibit. Obervational analyisis: • Observe guests at the exhibit during busy times and days as well as ‘slow’ days • Observe guests and aquarium employees at the exhibit and during presentations • Review current exhibit material and presentations Additional analysis: • Interview museum staff (should they be so generous) • Research aquarium exhibit species and history or the specific animals at the aquarium

Target Audience Denver Aquarium visitors may share some common characteristics that should be noted. Because the aquarium is a popular tourist attraction, attendees may be from various backgrounds, geographical locations, ages, and walks of life. Because of this, the e-learning material will be targeted to ages 7+ to high school education and reading level. However when we narrow the primary audience down further, According to the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), aquarium visitors are primarily women and mothers ages 25-35 and half of these adults will bring children. These visitors are also highly engaged in social media, giving some insight into the likelyhood of mobile devices being present during attendance (“Visitor Demographics,” 2017). The demographics of the aquarium visitors might present opportunities to make the e-learning material available in multiple languages. However this undertaking may be too challenging for the scope of work and time dedicated to the project. If there are sufficient resources available, the materials will also be available in spanish as that is the second most preferred language to english in this area. According to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver, “21% of the state population is Latino, over 1 million in Colorado,”(“Demographics: The importance,” 2012). Additionally, a majority of the tourism in Colorado comes from other areas with high hispanic populations, such as California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico with the Downtown Denver Aquarium being in the top ten places to visit (“Denver Tourism,” 2015). Objectives After completion of the e-learning module, the learner will be able to: • • • • •

Identify and distinguish between moon jellyfish and sea nettles Identify and distinguish between the sharks of the shipwreck exhibit Identify green sawfish and threats to green sawfish populations Identify the listed species in the “shipwreck” exhibit Identify East Pacific green sea turtles and plastic pollution threats to them

Content Source The primary source for most of the content will be derived from the educational material at the physical exhibit. Secondary information may be provided by interviewing aquarium staff who may be present at the shipwreck exhibit. By interviewing the staff, some specific details about each specimen at the exhibit may be revealed. In addition to these two resources, internet research will be sourced from credible sources.

Tech Platform The e-learning module will be designed to be available on various platforms and resolutions. However the primary platform will be present at the exhibit. The kiosks at the exhibit will display Galaxy Tab S3 9.7”. Course materials must display well on the tablets optimized for viewing in Google Chrome. Visitors may also be able to access the e-learning module on their personal, flash supported devices. High speed internet connection is available through the wi-fi at the aquarium. The courseware will be developed in Adobe Captivate 2017, which features several ways to create materials for multiple devices without having to specifically target a single device.Adobe refers to some of these features as “multiscreen responsive eLearning authoring, and device-specific previews” (“Features,” 2017). Which means, the e-learning creator can preview content on all typically available devices. Development Plan

Interface Design Standards Graphic Standards Due to the poor lighting in the exhibit, the overall theme for the interface is dark. This is so the screen does not appear to bright, blinding users from being able to observe the dark exhibit. Additionally, the colors and theme coordinate with the brand. The overall aesthetic for the interface is ‘light weight’ with the combination of thin strokes and gradients that fade to the background. This will allow the learning content to be dominant in focus and the interface only becomes dominant when interaction is required. Section 508 Compliance Although section 508 compliance is not required for the course module, some features in the e-learning material may function to serve some requirements. • • •

Images may have captions which can be narrated as well as the prompts. Scripts may be available. Use of built in features in Adobe Captivate are explored to provide additional 508 compliance.

Assessment Strategy The nature of the e-learning module is ‘casual.’ Meaning, no one is expects assessment to play a significant role in the design or development of the module. The learners participate in the module to enhance their experience of the Shipwreck Exhibit and learn more about the creatures on display. The type of assessment that can be applied to the module can best be described as “reactionary, level one,” in reference to Kirkpatrick’s evaluation method (citation). This will be tracked by one simple question: “How would you rate your experience?” The learner can click on the “survey” button in the main menu, or the survey slide with this question and rating options will be shown as the last slide for the module. Five stars will be shown for the learner to select in order to rate the experience. This could be tracked as a method of general feedback on the experience of the module simply to measure whether the learners liked it, or not (“Kirkpatrick Evaluation Method,” 2017). Assessment Strategy: Peer Reviews In addition to self-assessment and grading of drafts, peer reviews were conducted of throughout the course. The most critical review being the “beta”. Two reviewers provided the following feedback regarding the beta experience. Below each point, a solution was provided to each potential problem: • No glossary was present. Glossary added in final version. •

Getting “lost,” not paying attention to the slide title change to know which creature is the topic of the slide. No solution provided. The learner must pay attention to the text on the slide. • No narrated audio. No solution provided. The exhibit may be a noisy if users have audio playing. Time constraints also affected this decision. • Some branching may not be explored. The user can determine how they would like to navigate in a very free way. This is suitable for users who prefer to move to parts of the physical exhibit less crowded or who prefer to learn only about specific species. No changes. • Button destinations need adjusted. Fixed per specific feedback. • No click sounds on buttons. Fixed per specific feedback. • Return to main menu with “back button” after clicking on a “learn more” option. Fixed per specific feedback. • Turtle drag and drop plastic sort was very challenging. A hint was added to the fail feedback on the slide. The user may return and try again. •

Learner may not understand to return to the main menu or use the glossary to find information to complete the quizzes. No changes. The user must explore the interface provided by the “glossary” button or “main menu button.”

Summary The e-learning module was a successful endeavor to update the material in a cost effective and experiential way. Additionally, the material provided in the e-learning module can be updated as species are added to the exhibit or their conservation status changes. The module also provided much more opportunities for learning about the creatures in the exhibit than by the static display plaques featured. Ultimately, the module allows more visitors the opportunity to expand upon their experience and knowledge of the species in the exhibit. With the success of this featured module, it will be exciting to explore the opportunity to build modules for other exhibits in the aquarium.
