About me


Samantha Roberts
With 15+ years of teaching and course development experience, I specialize in transforming complex ideas into visually engaging, accessible, and learner-centered experiences. I have built and delivered over 37 courses using tools such as Articulate Rise, H5P, Brightspace, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, and Scratch, integrating multimedia, interactivity, and clear design logic throughout my work.
My teaching and design practice is deeply grounded in the Calls to Action from the NCTR. I design with intention: honouring stories, supporting diverse learners, and building learning environments that are both culturally responsive and academically rigorous.
