A new semester kicks off at Morehead University this morning and with it a new opportunity to explore some of the dimensions of instruction.

I’m particularly keen to get going with some of the more advanced ideas in instructional design more explicitly. The course will look at social learning, models of cognition, and models of instructional design that facilitate learner centered learning. A key to this effort will be getting the students to be learner centered after decades of being taught what, when, and how to think.

We’ll be breaking down the fourth wall on the instructional space and playing games with varying depths of instruction. We will, perforce, be limited to the digital realm, but I’m looking forward to seeing how far we can push this envelope before it breaks.

    I must say that I have a lot of walls to climb over first…before I go breaking any down.
    Just setting up for this class has been a real challenge for me…exciting, but humbling as to how little I really know.
    Just really learned how to travel around in TappedIN. That took me a night…but met a lot of interesting people, and got some ideas for my classroom. All of the side benefits that I am going to receive from this experience is a plus in itself. Now onto my blog for my response on instructional design….tick tock…I am getting there professor!

    I am very excited and honored to be a cohort in the EdD Program at MSU. I will face many challenges but feel that I will surpass them all.
