COMPLETED COURSE WORK

In order to complete the Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology, one must complete 36 semester hours of graduate credit. Below is a synopsis of each course in the Instructional Design curriculum at Fontbonne University. Clicking on course title will link you to work examples I created as part of the course requirements.

Provides educators with the basic knowledge and guided practice to effectively use the major on-line services, the Internet and resources available and valuable to educators. Activities completed in the course will act as a springboard for a future of valuable communication within the classroom and for personal use.	Introduces students to the discipline of instructional design. Students learn to analyze professional development needs in educational and corporate environments and translate those needs into the design and development of quality training opportunities. Students will be introduced to the elements of instructional design; needs analysis, task analysis, learner analysis, planning and creating instruction, and evaluation.	This course is designed for students who want to create their own multimedia presentations or intstructional materials using popular software packages such as PowerPoint, HTML, Camtasia Studio or individually-selected computer languages or applications. This is a project-based course with emphasis on design, development, and strategies used to produce effective multimedia presentations.
IDT 501 provides students an opportunity to apply the instructional design principles studies in IDT 500. The course focuses on the design, development and assessment of instructional design products and on conducting formative and summative evaluations of the instructional design product.	Learning to create web pages and projects for publication on the world wide web requires more than content knowledge. One must know the correct design principles used in their production, the differences between writing for print and writing for the web, the basics of HTML authoring, a web editing program, and the logistics of publishing a complete web site. This knowledge will enable you to be an active participant on the web and an intelligent viewer of web content and presentation.	This class is designed to provide practical, effective ways to integrate technology resources and technology-based methods into instructional settings, both in the classroom and corporate training. Topics include current theories of cognition and learning, cognitive load theory, effective teaching practices for both traditional age and adult learners, and reflective teaching as these topics are related to technology use. Emphasis is place on using technology to produce a cognitive-active...
This course provides students with the basis for planning, designing and teaching an online course. Some of the topics are: creating a welcoming environment, developing a detailed syllabus for online students, stating measurable learning objectives, creating an online course that is easy to navigate, planning for interaction in an online course, designing appropriate assessments in an online course, developing methods of presenting content in an online course and teaching an online course.	Provides an in-depth study of theoretical and practical issues surrounding the use of games and simulations in learning environments. Methods and approaches for integrating existing ames into learning environments and for developing new simulations and games around content will be developed.	Introduces the ethical and legal issues related to the use of technology in instruction. Students will examine the current debates surrounding the integration of technology into the instructional process. They will study the issues of information and intellectual property, privacy in a digital environment, and accessibility and Universal Design. The relationship of individual, governmental and societal concerns in a constantly changing electronic community will also be studied.
This course examines some of the current topics in IDT such as accessibility and universal design, learning environments, and project management. Students will analyze issues affecting current and future implementations of instructional design. Current research on topics IDT will be emphasized.	This course is designed to introduce or extend learner's knowledge of the instructional applications of computers and technology. Research into the most current curriculum theory and development will be used to model educational activities in order to enhance instruction. Recognition and design of specific technological applications and resources will be emphasized in order to produce practical instructional and professional applications. In addition, the course will be used as a means...	Scheduled to take this class Spring 2017 as my final requirement.
