The purpose of this course is to educate students about nutrition and its healthy or unhealthy effects on personal well-being. The need was to create an online course to update current curriculum, learning objects, integrate technology, and current methodology for the twenty-first century learner. We chose to focus on ninth and tenth grade students at a large private high school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The audience consists of a diverse group of students from various socioeconomic backgrounds and learning abilities. We determined that given a synchronous and asynchronous instruction and materials, the high school student will be able to analyze the healthy and unhealthy nutritional choices by creating a multimedia final presentation. To develop the online course we used the ADDIE model to collaboratively create the content objectives, learning objects and various multimedia presentations. In addition, we integrated outside professional educational resources. We also used the course management system Laulima as the interface in which our Weebly course website was embedded.
