While taking this course, I have been offering workshops to faculty at my work instution on different design topics. Our senior instructional designer joins me and chimes in to support if needed. Overall the workshops have gone well. The topics I have covered so far are course to module mapping, SLO drafting, Using BB Ally. Coming up are two more on principles of motivation and pairing assessments to SLOs.
This had made me wonder how I could share the examples I have gained and my reflection thoughts with others at my university. In the spring I facilitated a faculty staff learning community focused on universal design for learning. As part of this project we created a Canvas site with resources and examples. However, adding new faculty into the site creates a little extra work.
So it seems that a more open space may be helpful. I tried a Google site before but that was rarely used. Our university is switching to teams so that may be an option. I considered a Padlet board but I am not sure faculty will participate comfortably. I also wondered about Diigo but I think a little more narrative would be nice. I could share the slides on Slideshare but I want to share more than the slides.
So maybe a blog where I can connect to different resources and allow others to comment with their experiences?
What do you think, what are new ways outside of an institutional LMS that you would share a variety of instructional design ideas?
I think a blog would be an incredible place for this! Something that comes to mind is this guy I found on the instructional design subreddit, Devlin Peck. He has a website with a blog, resources, classes, emails, etc that are focused on helping instructional designers. Here is his website- https://www.devlinpeck.com/ You might check it out for some ideas on getting content out there for others.
ReplyDeleteThanks Abby for the suggestion! I am planning to watch his segement on building a portfolio next week after a few days off.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great plan! I need to actually jump into some of his content. I joined his Slack workspace before starting grad school to get more info but haven't looked at it once. He seems like a great resource.
