Second Week Internship

 Second Week

This week was very pivotal for me and the learning curve of becoming an instructional designer. This is where we got to the nitty gritty of working with our SMEs and getting a real sense of what they want the course to look like and if they are willing to let us help them with the building and design. This is also where I was able to get a feel for building in Canvas and working with the content of the courses. I remediated some powerpoints to pass standards. I also searched for OER options for some courses and transferred the content into Canvas pages. This has been such an amazing experience and I am so excited to keep going!

Fourth and Fifth Week

 Last week I waited patiently to hear back from MSU regarding my position as a Course Developer. During that waiting time I enhanced my ID skills as much as I could. I learned how to transfer latex files to html so we can make math formulas more accessible. I also learned a lot about organization and building by building up courses from other teams as well as my own teams. I have been able to present materials to SMEs that I have created and it has been great. This week I heard back on the position and I go the job! I will be a course developer at MSU on November 1st working in my same team! I'm so excited to push myself with this new position and really dive into the ID world. I feel nervous but very confident.

End of Nov.

 It's been quite the doozy of a few weeks! With reviews coming in hot I've been hunkered down and extremely focused. It seems as if all I've learned has culminated in this review. It's been really liberating doing the reviews on my own but also quite intimidating. After finishing my first review I was asked to take over my team member's review while she's out so I feel confident in my skills being asked to tackle more reviews! My team has been really supportive of course during this whole process.

Last week!

 Here it is! The last week of my internship. I have learned so much during my semester with the CTLD. I am so proud of everything I've accomplished and am so happy to be officially part of the team. My goals at the start of the internship were: I hope to apply my previous knowledge of ID theories and models into the ID work environment. In my coursework I dove into the theories and models that make up instructional design but I hope to make more real world connections to theories within a professional ID workplace and see how instructional designers incorporate models into their work. I achieved this goal for sure! I was able to call upon several ID models and theories in my day-to-day work in this internship. I was even given the opportunity to record a lecture for EDT 4060 about the ADDIE model, specifically the implementation phase. In this lecture I go over the several ways implementation is used as IDs, the process, why it's important, how it con
