A variety of artifacts have been mapped to specific standards outlined by the Association of Educational Communication and Technology (AECT). There is at least one artifact from each course I have taken as part of the Master of Educational Technology listed below.  

STANDARD 1: DESIGN Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to design conditions for learning by applying principles of instructional systems design, message design, instructional strategies, and learner characteristics.

 

1.1 Instructional Systems Design
Instructional Systems Design (ISD) is an organized procedure that includes the steps of analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating instruction.

 

1.2 Message Design
Message design involves planning for the manipulation of the physical form of the message.

 

1.3 Instructional Strategies
Instructional strategies are specifications for selecting and sequencing events and activities within a lesson.

1.4 Learner Characteristics
Learner characteristics are those facets of the learner's experiential background that impact the effectiveness of a learning process.

STANDARD 2: DEVELOPMENT Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to develop instructional materials and experiences using print, audiovisual, computer-based, and integrated technologies.

 

2.1 Print Technologies
Print technologies are ways to produce or deliver materials, such as books and static visual materials, primarily through mechanical or photographic printing processes.

 

2.2 Audiovisual Technologies
Audiovisual technologies are ways to produce or deliver materials by using mechanical devices or electronic machines to present auditory and visual messages.

Hypermedia (EdTech 541)

 

 

2.3 Computer-Based Technologies
Computer-based technologies are ways to produce or deliver materials using microprocessor-based resources.

STANDARD 3: UTILIZATION Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to use processes and resources for learning by applying principles and theories of media utilization, diffusion, implementation, and policy-making.

 

3.1 Media Utilization
Media utilization is the systematic use of resources for learning.

Introduction Video (EdTech 501)

 

3.2 Diffusion of Innovations
Diffusion of innovations is the process of communicating through planned strategies for the purpose of gaining adoption.

 

3.3 Implementation and Institutionalization
Implementation is using instructional materials or strategies in real (not simulated) settings. Institutionalization is the continuing, routine use of the instructional innovation in the structure and culture of an organization.

 

3.4 Policies and Regulations
Policies and regulation are the rules and actions of society (or its surrogates) that affect the diffusion and use of instructional technology.

Netiquette (EdTech 502)

STANDARD 4: MANAGEMENT Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions to plan, organize, coordinate, and supervise instructional technology by applying principles of project, resource, delivery system, and information management.

 

4.1 Project Management
Project management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling instructional design and development projects.

 

4.2 Resource Management
Resource management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling resource support systems and services.

Maturity Model (EdTech 501)

 

4.3 Delivery System Management
Delivery system management involves planning, monitoring and controlling 'the method by which distribution of instructional materials is organized' . . . [It is] a combination of medium and method of usage that is employed to present instructional information to a learner.

  • Part 1: Social Studies
  • Part 2: Language Arts
  • Part 3 Mobile Learning

Project-Based Learning (EdTech 542)

 

4.4 Information Management
Information management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling the storage, transfer, or processing of information in order to provide resources for learning.

RSS Feeds (EdTech 501)

STANDARD 5: EVALUATION Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions to evaluate the adequacy of instruction and learning by applying principles of problem analysis, criterion-referenced measurement, formative and summative evaluation, and long-range planning.

 

5.1 Problem Analysis
Problem analysis involves determining the nature and parameters of the problem by using information-gathering and decision-making strategies.

 

5.2 Criterion-Referenced Measurement
Criterion-referenced measurement involves techniques for determining learner mastery of pre-specified content.

PBL Rubric (EdTech 542)

 

5.3 Formative and Summative Evaluation
Formative evaluation involves gathering information on adequacy and using this information as a basis for further development. Summative evaluation involves gathering information on adequacy and using this information to make decisions about utilization.

Communication Evaluation (EdTech 505)

 

5.4 Long-Range Planning
Long-range planning that focuses on the organization as a whole is strategic planning. Long-range is usually defined as a future period of about three to five years or longer. During strategic planning, managers are trying to decide in the present what must be done to ensure organizational success in the future.
