ADDIE started the topic More than Meets the Eye: Helping Faculty Understand the ID Role (Issue 12) in the forum Ask ADDIE 1 week, 2 days ago

Dear ADDIE,

I am an instructional designer at a small community college, but I am experiencing a problem that will probably resonate with other instructional designers: the faculty with whom I work (mostly well) appear to have little understanding of what an instructional designer does and, as a result, limit the contributions that I can make…[Read more]

Joseph S. Clark replied to the topic Copyright in the forum Share an Effective Practice 1 month, 3 weeks ago

This is something of a tangent, but has anyone seen regarding whether instructors must provide a downloadable (i.e., for offline viewing) copy of videos owned by the instructor and/or institution and hosted on the institution’s Kaltura instance (or other dedicated video hosting tool)?

Hi Shelly,
As an Instructional Designer without a PhD (and no current plan to pursue a PhD), I find research intimidating. In the past few months I have been working as Co-PI on a 360 video research project that is funded by an internal Seed Grant at my institution, the University of South Florida, Sarasota-Manatee. For this project I am…[Read more]
