We found 62 results that contain "instructional design"

In a project that has been in the works for a long time, with an aim to be a platform for positive change at such a large institution, there is a lot of pressure to get it just right. That being said, we hope that in the true nature of prototyping and design iterations, users to the new space approach it with an open mind and a recognition that it's not perfect (but we're committed to making it the best it can be in our current phase).

Has anyone else experienced this tension between a "perfect" end product and launching a new project?

ASK ME ANYTHING TODAY with Megan Kudzia - Digital Pedagogy/Research in Current Remote Moment

Megan Kudzia is a Digital Scholarship Librarian at Michigan State University. Based in the Library’s Digital Scholarship Lab, she works with faculty and library colleagues, particularly on designing digital assignments and embedding in classes, and also with students on their digital projects. She is professionally involved in DH@MSU, Code4Lib, ILiADS, and Mi-ALA.



This AMA is answering your questions about digital pedagogy and digital research. Rather than addressing the Core technologies we’re using in teaching online, today we’re grappling with the often-steep learning curve for tools and methods such as website building, coding generally, textual analysis, or digital mapping. If you are struggling with how to structure assignments geared toward this type of work due to our current inability to troubleshoot together in person, or if you are a learner struggling with feelings of frustration as you try to muddle through on your own, let’s talk! Ask me anything.

🧬 Think of AI Uses as Along a Continuum
Monash University describes four examples of AI use in their courses:
1. Explore AI with students to build AI Literacy and discuss academic integrity.
2. Design assessments that focus on process rather than product to build critical thinking.
3. Incorporate new AI-enabled activities, like simulated personas.
4. Use AI for basic assessment, freeing educators to focus on personalized feedback.

Good morning, MSU! I'm Julie Taylor, Publishing Services Coordinator at the Libraries, and today I'm hosting an Ask Me Anything on Incorporating technologies at the MSU Libraries from book design to 3D printing to laser and vinyl cutting to poster plotting. Please share your questions and ideas by commenting on this post.

A very interesting recent book on how to make our coursework with students more inclusive. A concise 200 pages on, not only the theoretical background and need for inclusivity, but loads of very practical advice for designing courses and running class meetings with inclusivity in mind. $30 well spent. Check out 'What Inclusive Instructors Do: Principles and Practices for Excellence in College Teaching' (Stylus Publishing, 2021) on Amazon:
