PROFILE
Alex Wermer-colan
Alwermer Colan contributed to the programminghistorian/ph-submissions repository by developing interactive 3D learning modules and enhancing technical documentation for digital humanities lessons. Leveraging JavaScript, Python, and three.js, Alwermer built a 3D experience builder that enables users to interact with lesson content through visual feedback and object manipulation, supporting game-based learning. They improved onboarding and instructional clarity by restructuring Markdown tutorials, refining R-based radiocarbon calibration guides, and standardizing terminology across multiple lessons. Alwermer also addressed content rendering issues by fixing Liquid template formatting, demonstrating attention to accessibility and maintainability. Their work emphasized clear communication, robust documentation, and learner-focused content delivery.
