First Week Internship

 First Week Internship

My first week of the internship was filled with nerves but those were quelled by my newfound team. We call ourselves team cool and my supervisor and team mate have been so incredibly helpful on this journey. My first week was filled with learning about reviews for courses and understanding our courses. I did several PROCES reviews, accessibility reviews, and Quality Matters. I learned so much about accessibility rights and standards during this week and I was able to call upon my past class that had several modules about accessibility. During this week I also sat in on several kickoff meetings with my team and the SMEs we are working with this cycle. These meetings were so important to observe because I got a sense of how communication between SMEs and instructional designers is streamlined. I was able to see how we go through each part of the design cycle with them and get a sense of the working relationship with the SMEs.

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...

Sixth and Seventh Week

 These past two weeks have been a lot of building in Canvas for me. I've been working on creating pages in Canvas from SME's powerpoints and resources. I've even been called on to help some other teams with their work. I officially start the Course Developer position on November 1st and I'm very excited! I am also quite nervous as I hope to have built up enough skills to prove myself in this position. I feel confident in my building skills and my skills in working with SME's. I've been having a little trouble balancing school and work but my supervisor has been very good about giving me time to work on school work so it's been a good shift.

Seventh and Eighth week maybe Nine?

 I've been working as a course developer for some time now and I have really been able to hone in my skills as an instructional designer with this position. I have more access to things I didn't when I was an intern so the job is much easier and smoother now. I've been able to deliver content and build so many pages in Canvas. I've taken over one course, a sociology course, that I've been building by myself and it feels awesome. I am more confident than ever in my skills now and I really can't wait to keep putting them to the test. My team has been so encouraging and helpful during my transition into this full time position. I can go to them with any and all questions and there is no hesitation to help me from them. I am excited to keep up the good work and contribute the most I can to MSU.
