Brain Functions & Learning Design: A Visual Guide

This tri-fold brochure was developed as part of an in-depth research project for my Master's coursework on how learners learn. Through extensive study, I identified the eight key brain regions and their functions, mapping out their relevance in instructional design and learning strategies.

To ensure clarity and accessibility, the project was first structured in Microsoft Word, then transformed into a visually engaging format using Canva. This resource serves as a concise yet powerful reference, bridging neuroscience and education to support effective learning experiences.

Pedagogy vs. Andragogy: A Comparative Framework

This research-driven compare-and-contrast chart explores the fundamental differences between pedagogy and andragogy, two distinct methodologies in education. While pedagogy is traditionally child-centered, emphasizing structured guidance and teacher-led instruction, andragogy focuses on adult learners, leveraging prior experience and fostering self-directed learning.

To visually represent these key distinctions, the comparison was strategically mapped in Microsoft Word and designed in Canva, ensuring clarity and accessibility for educators and instructional designers.

This resource serves as a concise yet impactful reference, supporting the development of effective learning strategies tailored to diverse audiences.
