[Eril-l] Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 Projects needed for INFO250 Design and Implementation of Instructional Strategies for Information Professionals

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you again for all for your good projects and participation in my 
courses over the past 3 decades.

I am once again teaching INFO250 Design and Implementation of 
Instructional Strategies for Information Professionals for San Jose 
State University, School of Information (SJSU iSchool) again this Fall 
2025 and Spring 2026 semesters.
Info250 Syllabus: 
https://sjsu.campusconcourse.com/view_syllabus?course_id=73462&public_mode=1

I offer students the option to work with a 'client' to design a unit of 
instruction (workshop, tutorial, short course, etc.) for online or 
face-to-face. In the past students have decided on their own units of 
instruction for their instructional design projects, and many will still 
do that. But I also like to offer them the option of designing a unit of 
instruction for a non-profit organization, preferably a special, 
academic, school, or public library, or library organization, but other 
organizations or even for-profit small business sites.

Students need to make their choice of project topics by September 28 in 
Fall 2025 and sometime in March for Spring 2026.

Some of my students them have extensive instruction experience and some 
are complete beginners.

If your unit of instruction/instructional design project is chosen, my 
students will provide you with a completed instructional design plan, a 
screen cast introducing the instructional design plan, and at least one 
example instructional material. You may choose to make use of their work 
in future as you choose.

If you would like to be on the list of projects for my students for 
either or both semesters, please email me with the following information:

What I need from you (email me please at diane.kovacs at sjsu.edu)

1. Contact person(s) with email and telephone numbers

Contact person should be the 'client' that students are expected to 
interview and interact with cooperatively to develop an initial needs 
assessment and user identification and then work through our formal 
instructional design plan*. Then design and deliver an instructional 
design plan, introductory screencast, and example instructional material 
to the contact person.

2. Brief description of what kind and topic of instruction you're 
interested in working on.

3. A commitment by the contact person(s) to be available by email or 
other form of online messaging, during the Spring 2023 semester. 
Availability of a contact person is critical.

I will respond to you with additional questions and/or whether your 
project fits our scope in terms of time and expertise of students and 
verify you want to be on the list.

Thank you!
