ETAP 623 Spring 2023 (Zhang)

The ETAP 623 class (offered online at http://blackboard.albany.edu/) will use this wiki space to work on our ID project. Each of you will create a mini-course, deploying your knowledge and skills learned about the principles and processes of instructional design. It is our goal to carry out authentic instructional design and development to produce mini-courses for real use, as Open Educational Resources (OER) for teacher learning, improvement, and innovation.

An important note: When you contribute to this open space, please realize that the pages you created (saved) here are accessible to your peers in your current class and future classes. Other visitors who use KNILT as an educational resource may also see your pages. Please exercise social media discretion about what you post. For example, your self-introduction may focus on your professional background, and should not disclose sensitive personal information.

If you have any concern about the openness involved or want to prevent your work from being publicly visited, please contact Dr. Jianwei Zhang at jzhang1(at)albany.edu to negotiate a special setting during this project or request that your pages be removed from this site after your class is completed.

An Overview of the ID Project

The ID process

The ID project expects you to exercise the processes of instructional design as we study/read about each ID process in ETAP 623. The ID processes will be documented in your project portfolio page.

Template: Sample Student's Portfolio Page
example 1: Brooke Ebersold and example 2 Rebecca_G.'s_Portfolio_Page

End Product

As your end product, you will produce a mini-course for teacher learning, with teachers as your target learner/audience. Use the Mini-Course front page template to organize your mini-course with navigation links to the units. You can see a set of example mini-courses featured at KNILT Home.

Project Agenda

The design processes are scheduled as ETAP 623 Spring 2023 Design Project Agenda.

Evaluation Criteria

This design process (portfolio) and end product (mini-course) will be evaluated based on the following Evaluation_criteria

General Suggestions and Feedback from the Instructor

* Please click here to see very helpful General Suggestions and Feedback

IMPORTANT! Name your wikipages and attached files using unique titles/filenames: This Wiki system will overwrite pages/files with the same name. So IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE NAME OUR WIKIPAGES USING UNIQUE TITLES. For example, instead of "unit 1" or "lesson 1" you should use "Unit 1: Specific Title..." Similarly, for your curriculum maps and other attached files, please also use unique filenames such as "ICM_your name.doc"

It is always a good idea to first draft your text in a word processing package and then save it outside of the wiki. Back-ups are always handy to have!

Tutorials about Basic Wiki Editing

Our KNILT wiki runs on the Mediawiki platform, which has incorporated the Visual Editor. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide
A video guide on how to work on your portfolio and mini-course pages on KNILT: Zoom Video
A video guide on how to embed a Youtube video in a KNILT page: How to embed Youtube video

You can also embed a pdf file within your page: Click the "Edit Source" tab on the top of your page, use this line in your page and specify the file name: <pdf width="500" height="300">File:file-name.pdf</pdf> See this video guide.

Class Members and Mini-Courses

Please add your name below, followed by the link to "Name's ID portfolio page." You will later add your mini-course title (once decided) after your ID portfolio page link.

A completed example: Ashley Howell: Developing the Joy of Reading in Students (in this example, the author name is linked to her portfolio page, followed by her mini-course title that is linked to the frontpage of her mini-course)

Template: Sample Student's Portfolio Page (for documenting your ID processes); Mini-Course front page template (for organizing your final mini-course as the ID product). Each templates includes guiding questions/prompts for your design.
