Somehow, Educause always knows just what I’m studying and sends me such timely and relevant information. I am so glad I followed those primary sources early in the program and subscribed to their review.
Before starting the ADL Program, I learned that my employer offered LinkedIn Learning online courses. I love personal and professional development, so I started taking lessons on various topics. One that was particularly interesting to me was about Trauma-Informed Leadership. I had never heard of the term before, but as I listened to the training, I nodded in agreement the whole time. I could picture the conversations and the people.
Fast forward two years or so, and now I find myself in a leadership role, attempting to heal my and others’ work and personal traumas. As I struggle through the instructional design course content, my prior work in the program refine and reflect on what exactly this phase of the innovation plan needs to accomplish. Ding! A campus email notification to find today’s Educause Review Titled TI-ADDIE: A Trauma-Informed Model of Instructional Design.
A revised version of the ADDIE Instructional Design Model that I am smack dab in the middle of learning about while simultaneously applying so I can submit my design overview. As I read about this version which adds care and recursion to the traditional ADDIE Model, I can see another rabbit trail to follow. If there is anything I am all in head over heels for, it is caring!
Whoo! Constructivist learning, you have really got to try it sometime!
