Instructional Design Projects

I will be completing a Masters in Instructional Technology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in December of 2015. My graduate coursework included Design and Development of Instructional Technology, Multimedia Design and Development, Evaluation in Instructional Development, Web Teaching Design and Development, Instructional Video Design and Production, and Assessment of Learning Outcomes. I am currently writing an article on online instruction in Religious Studies based on research that I conducted for my Masters thesis.

Instructional Design refers to the procedure of analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating instruction. As summarized in a publication of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), "analyzing is the process of defining what is to be learned; designing is the process of specifying how it is to be learned; developing is the process of authoring and producing the instructional materials, implementing is actually using the materials and strategies in context, and evaluating is the process of determining the adequacy of instruction." (Seels & Richey, 31)
