The UT Advanced Instructional Design class has an exciting opportunity for
Austin organizations and businesses to work with students during the spring
semester.

Dr. Paul Resta of the Instructional Technology program at UT Austin will be
teaching the Advanced Instructional Systems Design (AISD) class this spring.
Debby Kalk is working with him to line up projects. They are looking for
projects for student teams that will give them hands-on instructional design
experience and the opportunity to work with a real client on a real project. All
students are in graduate school and have completed an introductory ISD class. In
this advanced course, they will be learning about project management including
learning to work with a client, SMEs, and a team.

For this project, the students will produce all design documents, such as needs
analysis, task analysis, design doc, and evaluation plan. Depending on the
project, they will produce other components, such as storyboards for an online
course, or an instructor's guide and student materials for an instructor-led
course. In previous semesters, some student teams have done more production
work, such as developing a prototype website. It's also possible that in a
subsequent course, such as the Multimedia course taught by Dr. Min Liu, that
students would produce these storyboards into a final product. However, the
critical requirement is that students do instructional design work.

If you are interested, Debby can advise you on developing a prospectus about the
project. On the first day of class, January 25, the students will review each
prospectus so that they can pick their project preferences and form teams. There
will probably be 3-4 students per team and the teams may include some students
outside of Austin since they are co-delivering this course both at UT Austin and
through the online UT TeleCampus.

If you would like to pursue this terrific opportunity, please get in touch with Debby Kalk at debby@debbykalk.com
