The ID Processes

• The design project expects you to exercise the processes of instructional design as we study/read about each component in this course; the processes need to be documented in your portfolio, such as these two: Colleen_B.'s_portfolio_page and Melissa_Filotas'_Portfolio_Page

Project Agenda

• The design processes are scheduled as ETAP 623 Fall 2011 Design Project Agenda

End Product

As your end product, you will produce

• A mini-course for teacher learning, such as Data analysis for differentiated instruction, with teachers as your target learner/audience; OR
• An instructional case report such as: Problem Based Curriculum Development - A Case Study, providing/implementing a set of lessons for students to learn about a core topic.
