Course Description:
The primary thrust of IT 651: Systematic Instructional Design is the production of an instructional design project. It demonstrates the candidate’s ability to design an original workshop that should take about seven hours to teach in an organization; such a workshop might be part of a school’s staff development programming.  The objective of this course is to give our candidates the ability to plan, deliver, and evaluate a mid-sized training program on a specific topic.  The length and duration of the course they design is roughly 1-2 days of instruction.
