We are at the end of our course. After viewing my peers video presentations of their projects, I look back in awe. We are ALL so different. We all constructed our own learning. I see that as evidence of a class well-taught. The hand was offered if we needed holding, but it wasn’t being shoved in our face if we wanted to run with an idea.
I enjoyed seeing my classmates’ videos, but I did miss discussion and questioning. It was difficult to judge where I fit in, since we all showcased different bits and pieces, we all implemented different LMS’s or presentation strategies, and we all conquered vastly different projects.
Yet in that vast array of creativity, I did notice the common framework of ADDIE. We all tried our best to use its structure to guide our design, guide our product. If I were to suggest one idea to improve the situation, it would be interesting if UNT had a client-matching program in place. Although that idea may not work in practicality, it would be interesting to see how we perform when working for a truly new acquaintance. I believe we would gain huge strides in mastering the instructional designer/client relationship.
