Exclusion(s): Unavailable to students with credit for EDUC533 or EDUC534. The field of instructional design (ID) has long been synonymous with distance education and training rather than mainstream teaching. However, ID is a critical component to planning and delivery of technology-enabled learning. In this course we will explore the applicability of instructional design to the both K-12 and broader contexts as a means to enhance learning and community building through the various modes of delivery currently found in schools (hybrid/blended/virtual). Within this course, students will explore ID competencies, models, and current trends in the organization of learning environments. A particular emphasis will be placed on the utilization of ID principles in selecting appropriate technologies for specific objectives.
