Welcome!

Welcome to the course blog for ISTC 667 - Instructional Design & Development! We'll be using this space to write entries to assigned learning journals (see syllabus for details and due dates). Writing a learning journal is often an individual, isolated activity - and you will in fact be asked to write individual responses to the learning journal prompts. At the same time, collecting these individual journals on this blog allows us to see what thinking and what kinds of issues are collectively being pondered by members of the class community. You are not required to comment on your colleague's posts, but feel free to do so!

  1. Hello Prof.Lohnes,

    I am looking forward to your class and hope to learn and enhance my skills in the field of ISD. I am pretty familiar with learning journals and have used this similar activity in my past Distance Education class. Also, I have a blog that I created in ISTC 605, and would hope being in this course would allow me to learn new information so that I can become better prepared in my career goals.

  2. Education is a constantly changing enviroment. Right now the change is moving us toward incorporating technology into our classrooms. I feel the technology has a place in the classroom but should not completely replace other teaching styles, it should enhance them. The students that we are now teaching use technology all the time and will benefit from using it in their classrooms.
