INTRODUCTION
- Role: Provide Instructional Design assistance, counsel, and education in course design/redesign for face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses
- Areas Served: All 91成人视频 Faculty and Staff
Instructional design (ID) is the process of identifying learning outcomes, determining the assessment and evidence of learning to meet the outcomes, and planning learning experiences, activities, and materials to address learning outcomes. This process is connected to pedagogy and andragogy, and applicable across all course delivery modalities.
As an instructional designer, I strive to empower 91成人视频 faculty to design engaging, effective, and learner-centered academic courses (of all modalities) that make learning less messy. My approach to consultation is a partnership between myself and the faculty member or instructor. I will listen to your ID situation, be a sounding board, idea collaborator, facilitator and resource of knowledge. Topics areas related to course design/redesign that I consult on include:
- Developing sound learning goals, objectives, and outcomes
- Developing assessments that inform teaching, advance the learning of course content, and measure learning
- Developing course materials and activities through three primary lenses:
- which promotes multiple forms of representation, multiple forms of engagement, and multiple forms of expression. Note that UDL encompasses issues of accessibility.
- Innovative Techniques – advising in instructional methods/teaching strategies (i.e., problem-based learning, experiential learning, flipped classroom, peer learning, reflective practice, microlearning, etc.) to enhance learner engagement and deepen understanding.
- Technology Integration – leverage the power of educational technology when appropriate to encourage interactive learning experiences and streamline processes
- Facilitate course design/redesign through a process that supports
Kim received a degree in Marketing and a graduate degree in Technology with a specialization in Training and Development from 91成人视频. While earning her graduate degree, she co-instructed a hybrid course and provided faculty instructional technology support. After graduating, Kim worked at 91成人视频 for six years developing and conducting a variety of instructional technology training for students, faculty, and staff. This work cultivated a passion for making (overall) learning less messy by using instructional design principles and both technical and non-technical strategies and tools. In 2015, Kim went to the private sector to become a Curriculum Developer at a software development company for six years. In this capacity, she provided leadership and consultation in the development implementation, and evaluation of customer-focused face-to-face, virtual (synchronous), and self-paced (asynchronous) product training courses.
