Dear Colleagues,
Thank you all for your good projects and participation in my courses
over the past two decades.
I teach INFO250 Design and Implementation of Instructional Strategies
for Information Professionals for San Jose State University, School of
Information (SJSU iSchool). The 2020 Spring semester runs January 23 -
May 11 (Spring Recess: March 30 - April 3) and we also need projects for
Summer 2020.
I'm offering students the option to work with a 'client' to design a
unit of instruction (workshop, tutorial, short course, etc.) for online
or face-to-face. In the past students have decided on their own units
of instruction for their instructional design projects, and many will
still do that. Beginning this spring I'd like them to consider
designing a unit of instruction for a non-profit organization,
preferably a special, academic, school, or public library, or library
organization, but other organizations or even for profit small business
sites are welcomed.
My students are all working through an online Masters' Degree program.
Some of them have extensive instruction experience and some are complete
beginners.
If your unit of instruction/instructional design project is chosen, my
students will provide you with a completed instructional design plan, a
screencast introducing the instructional design plan, and at least one
example instructional material. You may choose to make use of their
work in future as you choose.
I cannot guarantee that any of my students will choose your projects.
Also, it is possible we could take on some larger scale projects, the
students may form teams to work on them.
Students may also choose the library they currently work in or a
non-profit organization known to them to work with. So, if you would
like to be on the list of projects for my students to consider please
email me with the following information:
What I need from you:
1. Contact person(s) with email and telephone numbers
Contact person shouldbe the 'client' that students are expected to
interview and interact with cooperatively to develop an initial needs
assessment and user identification and then work through our formal
instructional design plan*. Then design and deliver an instructional
design plan, introductory screencast, and example instructional material
to the contact person.
2. Brief description of what kind and topic of instruction you're
interested in working on.
3. A commitment by the contact person(s) to be available by email or
other form of online messaging, during the Spring and/or Summer 2020 and
possibly Fall 2020 semesters to work with my students. Availability of a
contact person is critical.
I will respond to you with additional questions and/or whether your
project fits our scope in terms of time and expertise of students and
verify you want to be on the list.
Thank you!
