Design – from the starting line


Backward design…

How extremely humbling to realize that I am finally at the point where I am creating my innovation idea. Everything I have been learning through the program on how to help develop my team through professional learning and ways that these resources can contribute to significant learning environments both equip me with resources and leave me overwhelmed at the reality of this authentic opportunity. I really do have an opportunity to revolutionize advising within my organization.

Now, I get to build my course, my ubiquitous resource, my example of revolutionary advising for learner and advisor alike.

If you are taking EDLD 5318 Instructional Design Online Learning in the ADL Program – How are you feeling in your learning process?

I, for one am still stuck at the starting line – “perfection is the enemy of the good” – has me not even having done my introduction discussion, since we were invited to create that utilizing video resources, I think I want to really plan out my introduction so that it can become a piece of the final product at the conclusion of this course. As a result, I’m thinking that the normally simple piece of each course requires more thought, time, and reflection as a piece of this course’s learning puzzle.

I am going to reach out to my learning community and see if we can plan a collaborative session to brainstorm and discuss our plans. I will share my process as I work through this first Instructional Design assignment in hopes of helping you through your learning process too.
