What is the mission of an ID? Follow up and share your favorite readings and resources by Laura Swartley https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn I've taken the inputs to Krissy's questions and bolded some of the best descriptors. What if we get started on ideation on ID MISSION by having everyone read others' replies, and add comments and resources here? I have started by adding a LINK to Brian's first input. en-us 2019-10-23 19:02:19 UTC 2025-10-27 21:46:23 UTC hello@padlet.com From Julie: swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401684077 To stay abreast of research-based practices. 

To integrate these practices to build beautiful courses in real and virtual spaces to support genuine learning.

To create authentic interaction to foster motivation, engagement, and learning. 

To iterate and continually improve skills and abilities.]]> 2019-10-23 19:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401684077 From Christine: swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401685327 To create learning experiences that engage the learner and motivate users to continue learning

Paradoxically, we also function as the developer/instructor’s first students, asking questions like “Should students already know this information or do we need to teach it?” ]]> 2019-10-23 19:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401687404 From Brian: swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401689104 To facilitate the creation of *meaningful* learning experiences.   ]]> 2019-10-23 19:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401689104 From Laura: swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401723380 To create transformational learning experience in collaboration with content experts.]]> 2019-10-23 20:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401723380 From Judith: jdwood1 https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401725781 When people ask me what I do, I explain that my job is to work with faculty or other content experts to help them create engaging and effective online learning experiences. I totally recognize that I am still very new at this and that I don’t always know the answers, but that it’s my job to find the right tools and techniques to achieve that stated goal.  ]]> 2019-10-23 20:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/401725781 From Sarah: swartl https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/402185887

It says what I've about our work--that empathy and compassion are at least as important as the mechanics of the newest technologies. jkinney9 https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/402235783 2019-10-24 18:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/402235783 Quality Checklist jdwood1 https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/402304435 Here is a link to the simplified version of the quality checklist that we used in the peer review process for iSchool courses.  This gives you some idea of where we were going with this, although the previous draft we were working on included more elements and an actual rubric taking shape. (Posted by Judith - hope this link will work for all.)]]> 2019-10-24 21:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/402304435 I like how many times I see the words "student" and "learner" on this board. It helps to remember who we are ultimately working for. -Julie https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/403538988 2019-10-28 19:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/403538988 Faculty Support for Online Learning ctreece https://padlet.com/swartl/q0hlrah9vimn/wish/404541026 I found the survey results in this article interesting for many reasons, not the least of which was faculty's perception of whether the quality of online instruction equals, exceeds, or falls short of face-to-face instruction. The section "How Professors Build and Teach Their Online Courses" also found that many respondents did not work with IDs to design their courses, which is distressing, but I was encouraged by the findings in the "Outside Vendors" section: "Majorities of faculty members and of digital learning leaders oppose the use of external companies to provide a range of functions, including instructional design, offering student support, developing educational content or training the faculty."
