This has been a very eye-opening semester with regards to learning about Instructional Design and Technology. I feel like I have done a lot of my learning through the readings and more importantly, by doing the class assignments. Each activity has pushed me to go back and revisit class lecture notes, powerpoints, resources, and assigned […]
The readings in the Design Performance and Instructional Systems course have been instrumental in increasing my understanding of instructional design, specifically assessment and evaluation. In the text, Real World Instructional Design, the chapter 3 section on Developing Assessments was of particular interest. This section discussed a multitude of tests that are used to evaluate and […]
As I reflect on my experiences in Design of Performance and Instructional Systems, I am intrigued by the field of instructional design and technology and the number of disciplines that are encompassed within.

Several times I have returned to Cennamo and Kalk’s Real World Instructional Design as I and my group members have worked to ensure alignment between evaluation […]
As we approach the end of the semester and progress through our final group projects, the reading that I have been revisiting more frequently is chapter 6 about evaluation in Cennamo and Kalk’s Real World Instructional Design. Because of the iterative nature of the design process, evaluation is an important element of the process for […]
At this point in the master’s program, I have received a lot of information that I am currently implementing into my profession, Minister of Music/Music Teacher.
