Description of the Course

In this course, I was able to gather information about key instructional design concepts and  skills, work in community to address problems commonly encountered in the instructional design  process, demonstrate competencies with ID terms and practices, and use the concepts and skills  to actually do instructional design work. A major component of the course was the development of  an instructional design document through completing “missions.” Through this component,  I  self-selected an instructional problem and then carried out the Dick & Carey ID process to design my own instructional solution. I was able to evaluate my designs with  sample target learners and reflected and refined my work.

This course focused on the exploration and use of a range of web sites and web-based software, commonly referred to as Web 2.0 tools and resources. These online materials include blogs, podcasts, wikis, social networks, online collaboration resources and other assorted web-based platforms and programs that may be used to support instruction. As a student I focused on how Web 2.0 tools allow users to create innovative content that can be shared with other users as well as discuss the impact of these web-based resources in expanding and transforming teaching and learning strategies.

The LDT internship provided me with the opportunity to participate in the online module development for FAIR4Health and supportive engagement activities for the AIM-AHEAD South Central Hub. This project focused on the development of interactive online modules based on drafted in-person materials for a data management and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) training program. 

Description of the Course

In this course, I learned how to demonstrate how I can apply appropriate technology tools and theories for enhancing my own professional learning and productivity. I can use technology in communicating, collaborating, conducting research, and solving problems. Also, I participated in activities that encourage lifelong learning and will promote equitable, ethical, and legal use of computer technology.

Description of the Course

The M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction (with an emphasis in a chosen specialization) is a master’s program that prepares graduates to become leaders in the improvement of education in urban settings, which is a central focus of the program. I will become more effective educators, instructional design and curricular specialists, presenters of professional development programs, and will explore research-based practices in teaching, learn to design and conduct research, and/or and investigate the uses of instructional technology in an educational environment. The program is designed to facilitate the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed in curriculum and instruction in urban schools, community organizations, museums, the health science field, and related educational institutions.
