Hosted on FreeMoodle.org, the Beauty Course incorporates a number of design elements into a unique open-access course that unpacks the notion of "beauty." It uses the phi ratio as a vehicle
for math, science, art, health and language arts outcomes for Gr. 6-8. These design elements include: activities for multiple intelligences; multiple (i.e. non-sequential) access points (logical, creative, social/reflective…); downloable manipulatives for geometry components; scaffolding for "comprehensive" (inc. critical) thinking; and creative expression, all in the context of measurable, performance-based assessment.
