About This Course (from Syllabus)
This course is designed to develop your understanding and experience in systematically designing instruction, building more specific design strategies on the principles and processes of EIPT 6143. Topics will include: strategies of instruciton for various learning outcomes, formative and summative evaluation, learning assessment design, designing job aids and performance support systems, and flexible adaptive approaches to implementation.

Course activities include reading and responding to information sources both verbally and in writing, designing and developing instrucitonal events and materials, critically anayzing cases and resources examples, and actively engaging the ideas of authors, classmates, the professor, and others.
