ED PS 6431 - Advanced Instructional Design for Educational Technology

This course involves the hands-on application of instructional design models and principles using different instructional technologies. The course is project based, with students taking a set of instructional goals, selecting technology applications that best facilitate the meeting of these goals, and designing and implementing instruction using the technologies. Projects will vary, but they will generally begin with an instructional analysis of needs, content, audience, context, and constraints, then proceed to the selection of instructional content and approaches, design of message components, and design of interaction opportunities. Projects will culminate with implementation and informal tryout of the instruction technologies developed.
