I am excited to begin 2026 with ELRC 7503: Instructional Design, the first course in my pursuit of a Graduate Certificate in Educational Technology. This course will explore a variety of instructional design strategies to determine their most effective applications.

The key learning objectives for this course include:

• Describing major learning theories, instructional design models, and instructional strategies.

• Identifying and utilizing appropriate media and technology to enhance teaching and learning.

• Applying the Backward Design framework to create learning experiences.

• Evaluating and improving instructional design processes and products.

This course will conclude with an instructional design project, which will be featured on this site.
