<p>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Thank you all for your good projects and participation in my
courses over the past two decades. <br>
<br>
I teach INFO250 Design and Implementation of Instructional
Strategies for Information Professionals for San Jose State
University, School of Information (SJSU iSchool). <br>
<br>
Beginning with the Spring 2019 semester (January 24 - May 13,
2019), I'm offering 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. Beginning this
spring I'd like them to consider 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 are
welcomed. <br>
<br>
My students are all working through an online Masters' Degree
program. Some of them have extensive instruction experience and
some are complete beginners. <br>
<br>
If your unit of instruction/instructional design project is
chosen, my students will provide you with a completed
instructional design plan, a screencast 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. <br>
<br>
I cannot guarantee that any of my students will choose your
projects. Also, it is possible we could take on some larger scale
projects, the students may form teams to work on them.<br>
<br>
Students may also choose the library they currently work in or a
non-profit organization known to them to work with. So, if you
would like to be on the list of projects for my students to
consider please email me with the following information:<br>
<br>
What I need from you:<br>
<br>
1. Contact person(s) with email and telephone numbers <br>
Contact person shouldbe 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.<br>
<br>
2. Brief description of what kind and topic of instruction you're
interested in working on.<br>
<br>
4. A commitment by the contact person(s) to be available by email
or other form of online messaging, during the Spring and/or Summer
2019 and possibly Fall 2019 semesters to work with my students.
Availability of a contact person is critical.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
Diane</p>
