The final project in this course is a personalized synthesis of the material taught in the course. The project can be a product of instructional materials based on one or more of instructional theories taught or a summary/critique paper of major instructional theories. I chose the former, and created a website to teach learning theories to ph.D. students or new faculty.

Objectives

• To inform the audience of key concepts and theories from the field of Instructional design and technology.
• To introduce the audience to the seminal work done by some Instructional theorists such as Bloom, Gagne and Mager.
• To provide the audience with a resource base to explore the subject beyond the scope of the project.
• To provide the audience tips for incorporating the theories and concepts they study in real life situations.
• To suggest assignments and activities that assess their understanding of the material presented.
