Preparing for a Career in ISD - Kevin M. SchneiderKevin Schneider
Preparing for a Career in ISD (Instructional Systems Design) is an informative resource for those professionals looking to gain insight on how to prepare for a career in ISD, and what is required to be well-qualified.
One of the key challenges faced by the corporate universities today is how to maximize the outcome of learning at the same time minimize the investment (efforts). Todays learners are challenging the instructional designers and learning architects with the question “What does this learning program bring to the table that s/he can’t find in Google”. Conventional learning methods are failing to create impact on work performance
Educationist across the world are trying to solve the problem, we draw inspiration from the field of K12 education and in particular the paper on “Integrated STEM Education through Project-Based Learning” by Diana Laboy-Rush and “Integrated Approach for Enhanced Teaching and Learning towards Richer Problem Solving Experience” by Sonia Zheleva, Toshko Zhelev.
In this concept note we have tried to create a theoretical underpinning for Integrated Learning Design in a corporate environment. Ideas in this concept note are adaptations of various publically available knowledge in the space of “Integrated learning and assessment. This document would clearly outline 7 key design elements that needs to be considered for developing an Integrated learning solution.
This interactive course aims to equip students with an in-depth comprehension of
data science principles and methodologies, with a strong emphasis on practical
applications.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

13. Self-Assessment: I currently obtain experience/knowledge of LMS such as Blackboard (through my time as a student during
undergrad/graduate studies. I have and am currently working with Canvas (LMS) in my professional career and creating
training modules for my employees/colleagues on our processes/programs. I have experience as a teacher, mostly teacher-led
instruction, and will look to gain more experience through self-directed/andragogy based learning/facilitation. I currently obtain
a B.S. in Physical/Health Education (K-12 certified), which is lacking for most ISD careers. My editing/storyboard skills have not
been obtained yet as well. Most of the missing components for me to be well-qualified in an ISD position would be related to
Knowledge and Skills.
Goals: I would like to learn the instructional models and andragogy practices, as well as how to use the many technology
softwares/programs, by way of University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s (UMBC) Learning & Performance Technology
(LAPT) program. This will also allow me to obtain my Master of Arts Degree which will allow me to be qualified for ISD
positions in the future.
Action Plan: I am currently in the process of completing UMBC’s M.A. in LAPT as I am wrapping up my first 2 LAPT courses
this Fall 2023 semester. I would like to have this M.A. completed between 2026-2027, depending on 1-2 courses per
semester. In addition, obtaining the Graduate Certificates along the way. Throughout this time, I would like to apply the skills I
learn into my current career and continue to develop learning experiences for my direct employees/colleagues in higher
education. After obtaining my M.A. in LAPT, starting with contracted entry-level ISD positions to work on specific projects,
seems feasible and a smart plan to obtain some experience applicable to future long-term ISD positions.

14. In Susan Weinshenk’s book, 100 Things Every Presenter Needs to Know About People, there is a list of, yes, 100 things that are very helpful
for presenters and facilitators to know about people and learners. Here are a few that I will remember:
1. #20: People Learn Best in 20-Minute Chunks. This is very important in many stages of designing instruction. Understanding the
audience and knowing that 20 minutes is a prime amount of time to spend on a subject/content before transitioning to something else
or ending a lesson at that point. This tip can help in the lesson planning process as well as during live or recorded instruction.
1. #58: People Get Tired & Hungry. This hit home for me as I can get “hangry” just like on the Snickers’ commercials. This works
hand-in-hand with tip #20 that people learn best in 20-minute chunks. We have to remember that learners are humans first. Part of that
understanding is that we have biological functions and ensuring we have nutrients in our bodies and rest to process information will
only benefit our learning. Implementing small “brain breaks” in the designing/developing and during the instruction is important. This
allows people to use the restroom, have a snack, drink some water, and rest their brain to then learn some more.
1. #66: People Need to Feel Safe In Order to Participate. In my opinion, this could be one of the most important, yet underrated, on the
list of 100. Ensuring an environment, whether in-person or online, is safe and welcoming to all will ensure the learning and
participation can take place. When people do not feel safe, they are less likely to participate, learn, or pay attention. This is crucial as
we know more now than ever before that our mental health and physical environment play a huge role on how we interact. A learning
environment needs to be suited to the individuals that are participating and creating a safe environment is the first step.
