A Course-by-course JourneyThe IDT twelve-step program

Mastery: Personal Development and

LeadershipThis course has helped me bring focus to my desired professional future, and the way to get there.Things that helped me in my Journey:

• To think about my Life’s Task,• By reading Greene, R. (2012). Mastery. London: Penguin Books Ltd.• Discuss this online with my fellow students.

• To find ways of bringing inspiration and guidance inmy professional development,• By finding inspiring professionals to interview.

• To discover strategies for attaining mastery,• By reading Greene, R. (2012). Mastery. London: Penguin Books Ltd.• By writing my Mastery Journal Research Framework.

Strategies for Learner Engagement

This course will help me better understand learner motivation and how to design for the best learning outcomes. What I want to work on during this course:

• Understanding social learning• Siemens, G. Connectivism. Blog at: http://www.connectivism.ca

• Learning strategies for designing learning environments• Merrienboer, JJG van (2002). Blueprints for complex learning:

The 4C/ID model. Heidelberg: Springer.• Designing engaging course content

• Quigly, A. (2014). Adobe Captivate 8 First Look. Tutorial at www.lynda.com

• Chow, G. (2011). iMovie 11 Essential Training. Tutorial at www.lynda.com

Emergent Technologies in a Collaborative Culture

I believe that social contact is very important in learning. This course will help me learn more about developments in social media, which helps me make optimal use of them in instructional design. What I’d like to learn during this course:

• To identify the crucial trends that will affect learning at my institution in the coming years.• Johnson, L. (2014). NMC Horizon Report: The 2014

Higher Education Edition. Austin, Texas. The New Media Consortium.

• Utilizing Social Media Networks.• Williamson, J. (2013). Web Technology Fundamentals.

Tutorial at www.lynda.com • Understanding Communities of Practice.

• Wenger, E. (1998). Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning and Identity. England: Cambridge University Press

Corporate Training and Motivational Development

Learning in a corporate setting is very different from school learning, like in my institution. I can use this course to better learn how to design for professional learners:

• Understanding staff training.• Interviewing Staff Training executive at my institution.

• Using different training approaches• Hanson, S. (2014). Instructional Design Essentials.

Tutorial at www.lynda.com • Understanding design principles for corporate training.

• Interviewing corporate training professional.

Instructional Design and Evaluation

Instructional Design is a core competence for my job and for the IDT program. This course will help me sharpen my design skills and better understand assessment, by:

• Using design standards• Hanson, S. (2014). Instructional Design Essentials.

Tutorial at www.lynda.com • Deepening my knowledge of assessment.

• Interviewing assessment expert at my institution.• Examining instructional design.

• Researching online instructions at my own institution.

Digital Media and Learning Applications

Building applications is a good way of testing my skills as an (independent) instructional designer. This course will help me in that by:

• Learning about visual storytelling• Arnold, B. (2007). Exploring Visual Storytelling. Clifton

Park, New York: Delmar Cengage Learning.• Using digital media design principles

• Design course material for a course at my own institution.

• Understanding Digital Media Software• Quigly, A. (2014). Adobe Captivate 8 First Look.

Music and Audio for Instructional Design

Audio is one of my weaker skills, yet very important for good instructional design. This course will help me make better use of the medium in instruction by:

• Understanding the role of music in learning.• Interviewing music teacher at my own institution.

• Understanding musical intelligence.• Barnberger, J. (1995). The mind behind the musical ear.

Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press.• Creating professional music.

• Chow, G. (2014). GarageBand Essential Training. Tutorial at www.lynda.com

Filmmaking Principles for Instructional Design

I think video is one of the strongest media formats to use in instruction. I want to become much better at using this medium as an instructional designer by:

• Learning how to develop good video instruction• Chow, G. (2011). iMovie 11 Essential Training.

Tutorial at www.lynda.com • Learning good visual storytelling

• Arnold, B. (2007). Exploring Visual Storytelling. Clifton Park, New York: Delmar Cengage Learning.

• Learning more visual techniques• Interviewing a video production teacher at my

institution

Game Strategies and Motivation

Using game strategies in instruction adds to learner engagement. This course will help me create powerful learning experiences by:

• Learning how to design games• Interviewing a Dutch game designer.

• Understanding game strategies• Aldrich, C. (2009). Learning Online with a Games,

Simulations and Virtual Worlds. Hoboken, New Jersey: Wiley.

• Using assessment in game approaches• Taking a virtual course in (e.g.) Second Life.

Learning Management Systems and Organization

My institution is very concerned with learning management and how systems can aid in that. This course will give me more insights in these systems by:

• Understand the virtual learner• Clark, R.C. and Mayer, R.E. (2007). E-learning

and the science of instruction. Pfeiffer.• Learn to evaluate learning management systems

(LMS)• Evaluation of our own LMS

• Using assessment in LMS• Interviewing an instructional designer

Media Asset Creation

Creating good and meaningful media assets can really improve my courses. I would like to learn:

• Using multimedia to create different kinds of instruction• Interview an instructional designer

• Digital photography• Linaschke, J. (2012). Photography 101.

Tutorial at www.lynda.com • Video techniques and post-production

• Interview a video instructor at my institution

IDT Final Project

This course will put my work and understanding to the test.After this course I hope to demonstrate mastery by:

• Publishing a research article• Interview an education professor at my institution

• Create media assets• Harrington, R. (2013). The Art of Video Interviews.

Tutorial at www.lynda.com • Design a media-rich online lesson

• Instruction about our course design platform by an instructional designer at my institution

Finding feedbackIn search of an IDT mentor

Profile of a mentor

Finding someone to learn from, a professional mentor, is a very delicate process. There has to be a personal connection and a mentor has to have the advantage of experience.For me, a mentor:

• Is an instructional designer• He or she has more experience than me in instructional design• But is not too old.• Has a very good of current technological possibilities• Has a similar vision on learning (social constructivist).
