Hi all,
It was wonderful to connect with those of you who joined our first Coffee & Questions session this evening. I enjoyed our conversations and the opportunity to begin exploring instructional design together.
We started with a broad overview of the course and began considering what instructional design is and how our decisions as designers can shape learners' experiences. We also explored a few tried-and-true instructional design models and frameworks, including ADDIE, Backward Design, and Constructive Alignment, and considered how they might inform our design practices across different contexts.
A few quick updates and reminders:
Our Zoom session was recorded, and the recording should soon be available on our Moodle site for anyone who couldn't attend or would like to revisit our discussions.
I'll check in tomorrow to make sure everyone can access the Moodle course site without issues.
Assignment 2 teams: As requested, I've started a shared Google Doc to help you form your self-selected teams for Assignment 2. Feel free to begin connecting with one another.
Sarah, our Team Coach, will join us on Friday, November 20, to support your group processes as you move into developing your second assignment.
As you begin exploring the course materials, activities, and assessments, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I'm always happy to help.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better and to learning both with you and from you as we move through LRNT 524 together.
Thanks again to everyone who joined us this evening, and I look forward to connecting with the rest of you soon.
Lisa
