Learning Management Systems: Major and Minor Chords
Description
The Learning Management System is designed to teach students how to make major and minor chords.
Target Audience
Music students who have learned how to identify the notes on a piano keyboard and musical staff, and are ready to learn how to create chords.
Project Objectives
• Create major and minor chords (triads) using any note in the key of C Major / A minor.
• Identify the various inversions, and create major and minor chords using the various inversions.
• Participate in a group activity, identifying inversions from triads in the keys of C Major and A Minor (see Conferences section).
• Explore pop music singles that use the key of C Major and A minor and discuss facts about the artists and music labels.
The graphic organizer above was used to create a rough plan of how lessons would be organized in the LMS.
The video above demonstrates a Learning Management System (LMS) that is hosted on Canvas. The LMS is titled 'Major and Minor Chords', teaches the basics of chord creation in the keys of C Major and A Minor. The target audience for this course is music students of all ages, who know how to identify the notes on a piano keyboard and musical staff (both treble and bass clef staffs).
The screenshot above demonstrates the Syllabus, which is also the home page for this LMS. Each section was worked on over the course of 2 weeks, and this page in particular was based off a template for an LMS about nutrition.
The screenshot above demonstrates one of the image assets that was used for this demo video. The video uses mostly images such as this, instead of unnecessary text. This was done in order to prevent stimulus overload, which could occur if the narration was also unnecessarily presented as text.
