Sample Class
The ETAP 623 class (offered online at https://brightspace.albany.edu/d2l/home/1095199) 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.
- Please review the following statement regarding the open access nature of KNILT and confirm that you agree to share your instructional design work in this space: https://forms.gle/GSCFo2WHEV5kpuCu5
- If you want to prevent your work from being publicly visited, please email your instructor directly. Even after confirming, you still have the choice to request that your pages be removed from this site at a later point, such as after your class is completed.
- For more info about how this project works to address authentic educational needs, see UAlbany news report: ETAP Students Create Mini-Courses to Empower 21st Century Educators.

General Suggestions
- Please click here to see General Suggestions and Feedback from the instructor
- 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
- See KNILT Editing Tips, try out wiki editing here: Sandbox
- Remember to NAME OUR WIKI PAGES 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"
