On time. In budget. What they need (even if that changes!). These are moving targets and yet, you're expected to deliver all three. The software development industry is embracing Agile project management to address these issues and there is much that we in learning & development can learn from them. Agile provides a framework for adapting to change as it happens and working with the project sponsor to deliver the content most needed by learners.
In this session, you'll learn about the Agile project management methods adapted specifically for instructional design & development projects — Lot Like Agile Management Approach (LLAMA®)—and how to use them on the job. We’ll cover everything from kicking off a project with a solid definition of scope all the way through the process of estimating and planning the work. Your takeaways include templates and techniques for goal alignment, learner personas, scope definition, estimating, planning, and iterative development.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Planning: Schedules, Calendars, Deadlines
Experiences 1. We kept a regular development schedule, but the first deadline
(for course outcomes) was difficult to meet, as there was little time to bring the SME/writer
up to speed on the ID process. 2. We (the ID and the SME) developed and installed the
course in 8 weeks, then made course revisions during the 8 weeks during which the course
was taught. It was stressful on the SME (to teach while revising), but it
was important to make the revisions while the revisions seemed important
to make. 3. During the initial writing of the course, SME deadlines for modules
Recommendations were on Fridays, with revisions of modules due on
the following Wednesdays. The ID would provide
feedback on the modules by Sunday and meet via
Skype with the SME on Mondays to assure that edits
and recommendations were understood.
Recommendations 1. Longer
development timeframes are needed. Consider a
minimum of 10-12 weeks instead of 6-8 weeks.
2. Clarify minimum standards for course design.
4. Course Design: Technical and Structural Issues
Experiences 1. In the absence of any
clear-cut technical design standards for this
course, we took the high road: the course would
be as open as possible and built in the lingua
franca of the WWW: HTML (with CSS and some
JavaScript). 2. It would be built on a modular
principle, and would meet compliance standards
for ADA/508, and meet or surpass instructional
design standards such as those advocated by Quality Matters. 3. If this course was going
to be “adoptable,” it would need to be technically sound; content would need to work in
popular web browsers. 4. Additionally, the content would have to be creative and
compelling; the course would have an integrated media layer that made regular use of
embeddable objects.
Recommendations
1. Take the high road whenever you can, and build courses in
such a way that anyone can use and re-purpose them with relative
ease and in any platform. 2. HTML and CSS are very LMS-friendly.
5. Learning Design: Arcs and Outcomes Tracking
Experiences 1. All good courses have an internal logic and rhythm by which
students learn. We thought it best to make what was implicit explicit, however, and included
a graphic depiction of the learning arc early on in the syllabus; each course module fully
realizes an arc, and it is along key points of the arc that assignments are completed and
submitted. The regularity by which
assignments are completed and submitted
(say every Thursday for discussions
and every Monday for written exercises)
fosters consistency in students. 2. Wouldn’t
it be nice to have a course that cross-
references all of its assignments with its
outcomes and instructional content? We
though so too—and discovered that students
could benefit from the connection, as well.
Recommendations 1. The
best designs feature no more or less of what
is necessary to do the job exceedingly well.
6. Divisions of Labor and Developer Roles
Hines O’Hare Experiences 1. To get the
job done in a way that made good use

specific job functions (see table, left).
Editor Researcher
Proofreader Proofreader
Beta-Tester Beta-Tester Recommendations
1. While it’s not impossible, it is
unusual for two academics in the same discipline to be highly productive in a collaboration
as equal partners performing the same function. We recommend that course developers
list the roles that are involved in producing a quality course, then decide who performs
certain roles. 2. The management, design, and editorial functions are more important
to the process than novice developers realize, particularly if the novice is the SME/writer.
Even if you are a development team of one, try to split these roles out from your writing
and research. 3. Have faith in a solid design process, and try not to cut corners even when
the timeline seems impossible. Too many online courses remain in their initial iterations
for years to come, as course revisions are typically put off by lack of time or funding or both.
7. Getting the Best Content
Experiences 1. We found it difficult to find a single
open textbook that supported the entirety of the course. 2. And,
too many texts were not using the kinds of media that would be
compelling to Generation Y students. 3. We spent too much time
performing fruitless WWW searches. 4. How to determine OER
material was often unclear, so even when useful materials were
found, we were not always sure they could be used. 5. The
good news is the frustrations of search led to a content strategy
based upon disparate texts, images, audio clips, and videos.
The course itself would become a kind of textbook, using the
topics within modules to provide a clear context for media use.
Recommendations
1. If you can’t find a textbook that supports your course, use
multiple OER. 2. To avoid time consuming searches, find sites
that index OER and use your own social network as qualified
RAs. 3. Don’t be afraid of new media; sometimes it doesn’t
make sense how you’ll use it until it’s embedded in the page!
8. Measureable Learning Outcomes
Experiences 1. Writing course outcomes can be an unfamiliar process, as they
are normally dictated by academic programs or departments, by other instructors or
textbooks. 2. It’s difficult to tell sometimes if an outcome is actually measureable.
3. It can be a little intimidating to come up with outcomes that are useable by other
institutions. 4. Module-level outcomes are not typically developed in traditional
classes. So, it was surprising to learn they are the corner stones of online courses.
Recommendations
1. Have course-level outcomes before you get started
designing modules (even though they may change).
2. Remember that it’s a process, that you will have to
tweak outcomes to meet the overarching goals of the
course. 3. Design assignments and support content
around outcomes. 4. Understand the difference
between goals and outcomes. Many goals may not
be measureable but outcomes must be.
9. Creating and Orchestrating Content
Experiences 1. We stuck to a contemporary
approach to writing and critical reading skills, as we
wanted something fresh for students who typically
dread taking a composition course — we went about
deprogramming the dread. 2. It was so important to find
the right content that when we couldn’t find it, we
created it. 3. And when we did find it, we integrated it
directly into the topics pages. 4. One of our favorite finds
was the telescopic text “I Made Tea.”
Recommendations 1. Utilize an
Instructional designer’s expertise in employing technical
content – if you worry about it, you won’t have time to
do any writing. 2. Even if there is copyright free work
out there (literary samples, for example) do not settle
just because it is free—seek other free avenues. 3. Provide
context for everything. Remember that students should
have equal access to content. Cite sources.
10. Learning as a Community
Experiences 1. Learning was
iterative, and students started to feel a
rhythm to the way the course worked.
2. Students responded well in discussion forums,
often exceeding the minimum requirements.
3. Students built a strong community,
relying on targeted peer review as a main source
of revision. 4. We dealt with grammar issues
“workshop style.” Students created
teaching reports by investigating their mistakes,
researching their mistakes, fixing their mistakes,
and sharing the results with the entire class.
The class then evaluated which report was
the best. This process was empowering.
Recommendations
1. Create banks of feedback that you can reuse in general commentary. 2. Don’t be afraid to
change a module if it does not work. We didn’t love Module 6, so we edited for the next run.
3. Seek media examples that are interchangeable with assignments.
11. The Impact of Multimedia
1. Students overwhelmingly loved the TED Talks. The TED Talk
Experiences pictured on this slide made it possible to show students how other
disciplines create and use portfolios.
2. Students also enjoyed the OER
texts, which were sufficiently
compelling and not unnecessarily long.
3. We used
a wide variety of media, including
our own Facebook notes. We wanted
to underscore that social media can be
a great space to find and develop ideas.
Recommendations
1. Find media that appeals to the kinds
of students that you teach. 2. Make
sure it can be viewed in the most
popular web browsers. 3. Makes sure it is ADA compliant—that images use ALT tags and
that videos use close captioning and that audio has transcripts. 4. Note that providing various
media appeals to different learning styles. We loved TED’s interactive transcript!
12. Reflection and the Portfolio
Experiences 1. Students were able
to evaluate their work by creating a portfolio
of their best writing accompanied by a reflective
essay about their developing writing process.
2. Remember that teachers make mistakes, but
mistakes can be remedied—like writing in a
composition course: it’s a work in progress.
3. Students used the discussion forum,
writing exercises, and essays to look at early
and developing work to discover their
evolution as writers. 4. They looked back on
their stumbling blocks and how they worked
around them.
Recommendations 1. Remember to make your submission instructions
specific. The portfolio assignment omitted length requirements, which was problematic for
some students. 2. Remember that courses should evolve with their students. It is important
to make revisions. Change is good. Change is good. Change is good.
13. Feedback and Contacts
“Looking back at my first assignment, diagnostic writing, I cannot
believe how horrible I wrote. In my first writings, I would use run on
sentences and vague references and found that much of what I wrote
did not make sense. Now when I look at my most recent writings, I
cannot believe the difference, and swear someone else wrote them.”
