6 courses with the subject IDT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
IDT 710Introduction to Instructional Design for Online Teaching
This course introduces students to different instructional design models commonly utilized in business and education and provides opportunities for students to develop a personal philosophy towards online instruction and learning. Students will examine the features of each ID model discussing benefits and limitations and apply this to a current educational problem. Students will review the steps required for effective analysis of educational problems. 3 credits
IDT 720Introduction to Instructional and Course Design3
This course focuses on the practical application of a variety of instructional tools for communication and learning in an online learning environment. Students will identify features, benefits, and limitations of each as they relate to a selected or given context within a learning or training environment. Students will learn to create online/eLearning experiences using the technology.
Teaching online is new, despite the fact that it has been around since 1892! The technologies that have been applied in online learning have evolved from the use of live radio shows in the 1920s to the use of artificial intelligence and virtual realities in online learning today. These technologies have largely informed the transition to teaching in the online environment, and the focus on the implementation and pedagogies is not given as much attention. This course focuses on the implementation of technologies for online learning with a focus on implementation and change management. The practical application of implementation processes and strategies will help the student to understand and identify effective approaches to the implementation of learning technologies. 3 credits
IDT 740Assessment and Evaluation of Online Learning
This course focuses on the components of a comprehensive Needs Assessment, including determining learner characteristics that impact decision-making in the design of instruction in the online environment. Processes for analyzing learning needs and learning content will be studied and applied to a current educational problem. In addition, students will begin to examine potential constraints and resources that exist in a selected or given training opportunity. Finally, the results of the analysis will be applied to create the learning goals and objectives for a selected educational problem. 3 credits 109
In the IDT 750 Technology Application course, learners will focus on the implementation of technologies and approaches for online learning, implementation, and the focus on change management in learning. Implementation strategies of learning technologies will allow the learner to understand and identify effective approaches of instruction delivery in an online environment. In this course, with the guidance of the instructor, you are required to work on a 15-20-hour substantial project that reflects a deep mastery of the competencies for your field work.
IDT 760Assessments in the Digital Environment: Validating Learning3
This course is designed to prepare individuals to use the assessment component of instructional design effectively in a range of digital environments. Learners will become literate in assessment terminology. They will be able to distinguish, utilize and design formative assessments and summative assessments. Learners will have an opportunity to practice, devise and apply a variety of assessment techniques and approaches that may be used in the digital environment. They will create instructionally sound assessment tools. They will be able to create assessment measures that meet the needs of their area of interest/field of employment for the digital environment.
