Multi-Media Project Management The last of three Instructional Technology courses, this lab-based course allows students to apply project development and multi-media design skills by completing an industry-based design project. The course is divided into four or more discrete modules that teach specific multi-media development applications required to execute and complete the design project. By the conclusion of the course, each student possesses comprehensive knowledge of the applications and how to apply them to a multi-media design project.

Research Designs in Education This applied research course is designed for Master’s students in the ISD Training Systems graduate program. The course focuses on the process of applying research design models and methodologies to the analysis of performance problems or opportunities for organizations, teams or individual workers. Students will develop and apply a variety of systematic measurement and evaluation tools, including extant (existing) data research, surveys, benchmarking, and focus groups while conducting performance and root cause analysis in the context of needs assessments or front end analysis. A statistical analysis software package will be used to analyze and report research data.

EDUC 794
Project Seminar This course provides the advanced graduate student in the ISD program the opportunity to analyze an educational or training problem, and apply the complete instructional systems development process to the design and development of a comprehensive instructional program to meet the needs determined by the analysis. The student is expected to design a project plan and follow the plan as he or she designs and develops all the instructional material necessary to support delivery of the comprehensive instructional system. The instructional system is expected to include an evaluation component and reflect the proper application of ISD principles in the overall design.
