TITLE: Design for Learning and Design for Learners


Project Description:

The purposes of this project are (1) to create an effective learning experience for international students on the given instructional topic and (2) to create a comprehensive instructional design document package that can be used to demonstrate your instructional design competencies in a professional setting (e.g., job interview, professional workshop for training peers, etc.). International students are required to complete Part 1 only. You will be working in a group to design this experience collaboratively. Please use the following rubric and template to design your project.
