My field experience will be conducted at Coastal Carolina University under the supervision of Dr. Jeremy Dickerson, Professor and Coordinator of Instructional Technology Graduate Programs.
My field experience will be conducted at Coastal Carolina University under the supervision of Dr. Jeremy Dickerson, Professor and Coordinator of Instructional Technology Graduate Programs.
- Develop a shared vision to lead an instructional technology innovation to improve teaching, learning and performance for a professional audience. Working with Dr. Dickerson, I will help to improve, enhance, and update the EDIT 690 course.
- Collaborate with decision-makers to evaluate and select technology tools and strategies that improve teaching, learning and performance. I will design portions of the course aimed at improving student performance by giving them "mini-tasks" as a guide for the main course projects.
- Conduct needs assessments to inform the design of technology enhanced learning experiences for professional audiences. I will create a survey to help gain an understanding of what current 690 students feel like future students may need assistance with or clarification on.
- Design, develop and implement technology enhanced learning experiences that demonstrate best practices for adult learners. I will create mini-projects for students to complete before delving into the meat of the course. These mini-projects will help students gain a better grasp of what is expected.
- Evaluate the results of technology enhanced learning experiences for professional audiences to measure impact and guide future improvement. I will be evaluated by my on-site supervisor, Dr. Jeremy Dickerson.
- Apply best practices in effective project management to an instructional technology innovation initiative. I will tie each mini-project to an ISTE standard, as well as to a future project in EDIT 690.
- Demonstrate continuous evaluation of professional knowledge and practices to improve the design, development and implementation of technology-enhanced learning experiences. I will continue to seek ways to improve upon my content, as well as seek out opportunities to become more knowledgeable concerning technology and best practices.
