<font size="6">Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Thank you again for all for your good projects and participation
in my courses over the past 3 decades. <br>
<br>
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. </font><font size="6"><br>

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.<br>
<br>
Students need to make their choice of project topics by September
28 in Fall 2025 and sometime in March for Spring 2026. <br>
<br>
Some of my students 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 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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>

<br>
1. Contact person(s) with email and telephone numbers<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
2. Brief description of what kind and topic of instruction you're
interested in working on.<br>
<br>
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.<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>
