Class Notes 7-20-10

Justin Jay - BYU independent study


The field is very dynamic

Get a good faculty chair - don't worry about hurting feelings


Take advantage of the internships - focus those on the places you want to work - it will get you a job


Consulting opportunities (75-125 an hour) come with the PHD


Masters - you will be a grinded out designer - will have a voice but eventually you grind out content

Something between a developer and a manager - some input but not final word - direct work of lower level people



You are a puzzle builder

Project manager, financial management, ed law, business management, crucial conversations, learn how to write succinct well written … skill in knowing who wants what Dr Wiley could be a good mentor for writing - get course work in this,

2 assessment - evaluations -


PHD - Wont end up using the design principles you use because you will be driving the business


You higher designers


Competitive for - Sales support blackboard 200,000 - educational officer at a brokerage firm online educational opportunity - Church positions - BYU - Consulting work (This program will make you very well prepared - disciplined instructional design - There is a high need for skilled professionals ) Training materials for tanks Army - wont always be called instructional designer… product development… director of … project managers… training manager… sales jobs… user interface design… ect -


Educational software, hospital training, ed services ed tech you will put the puzzle together, enterprise software like orical = how do you make money, Defense = how to I teach an 18 year old to drive a tank, executive development… train executives, gates foundation, banks


Consulting has to do everything with you professional network - who have you worked with that trust you to deliver

If you make the people around you successful and make them like working with you - progress their careers - carry personality into your career - ID is a team leading experience all about making others successful - you either lock arms with people or get them promoted - help them get the skills they need - Get your boss promoted -

So far the international ID is not sustainable - be culturally aligned - accessibility - linguistically


Delivering inside the organization - business - green peace - ect


Theory guides your thinking - Don't just design a golden calf - use practical experience to guide the process - continual improvement of the product - get the product out there and then make it better


Rapid prototyping iterative design - can not take a year to create a product - helps to manage expectations


Vision for independent study

Fast prototype design - not publisher model it's outdated


The primary add is no longer content creation

Content is prolific


Be really clear about what the learning outcomes are - what value they are getting out of it - what is the consumer getting out of this -


Our value added is about structuring the learning so that it is efficient


We become educational traffic controllers - teach people how to use recourses - connect them to the information and help them learn from it


Referential learner


Teach the learner how to be successful after they leave the room



Job opportunities

Not faculty research

Do internships with full time companies

Everyone from Epson to Toyota has some sort of design project -

Get internships that let you produce something

AERA - Chronicle of Higher Education

Your work should advance your degree - be selfish with your time in the program - your degree is what is going to give you the marketability - First advance your degree then advance your career

Willing to pay for - take Revised blooms and Andersons - Then find the best teaching for those principles - Then how to evaluate those principles
