As an undergrad at the University of Hawaii, I thought I was going to become an underwater archaeologist. Then I chased love to Washington, DC (it&#8217;s ok, we got married &#8211; it all worked out). So there I was, 22 years old, bachelor&#8217;s degree in hand, no water or shipwrecks in sight&#8230; I just needed a job. As fate would have it, the first job offered to me was at a little nonprofit called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saylor.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saylor Academy<\/a>. They were creating free online university-level courses built with open educational resources (OER). So I figured if I can&#8217;t dive on shipwrecks, I might as well become a Saylor (sorry for the dad joke, I have two kids now).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">After five years at Saylor, I had directly contributed to the build of 75 or so new courses, including a first-of-its-kind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-saylor-foundation-collaborate-to-offer-new-free-space-systems-engineering-course\/#:~:text=In%20producing%20this,behind%20those%20resources.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MOOC with NASA<\/a> that I project managed, and formed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saylor.org\/partners_old\/nonprofits\/saylorsimca-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partnerships with universities around the world<\/a> who would award university credit to our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Over ten years later, this intersection of innovative instructional design and professional learning pathways has become the staple of my career.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In 2016, I decided to formalize the instructional design skills I learned on the job and get my <a href=\"https:\/\/online.purdue.edu\/programs\/education\/masters-in-education-learning-design-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master&#8217;s in Learning Design &amp; Technology<\/a>. Since then, I&#8217;ve been working for universities in the U.S. and New Zealand, my new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At American University (AU), I led projects like <a href=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EdSpace<\/a>, a WordPress multisite available to faculty and students for open pedagogy projects like student-run course websites and ePortfolios; <a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/open\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Open American<\/a>, an OER grant program; and a Faculty Online Training Course. I was then hired by AU&#8217;s law school to lead their new Office of Online Learning where I defined <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1wDc0lXEXwnCLC82ZfExP6vF9vcLT8s-_k8wBnS6JrcI\/edit#heading=h.gy98oaeqkzjc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what online learning would look like<\/a>, helped launch a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcl.american.edu\/academics\/degrees\/mls-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new degree program<\/a>, managed an LMS migration, and led the school-wide transition to online teaching and learning during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Of course, I didn&#8217;t do any of this alone. I&#8217;ve been able to accomplish a lot because people enjoy working me. That, above all, is my greatest strength. Colleagues have described me as trustworthy, reliable, and someone who&#8217;s never afraid to roll up his sleeves and figure out a problem collaboratively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In 2022, my family and I relocated to New Zealand where I currently work at Lincoln University. In my short time here, I&#8217;ve continued my work of creating, managing, and teaching <a href=\"https:\/\/ltl.lincoln.ac.nz\/teaching\/manaaki-tauira-course-enhancements-programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional learning programs<\/a>, pathways, and certifications for academic staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As a potential Director of Online Learning, Head of Professional Learning Pathways, or Senior Instructional Designer role, I bring a collaborative leadership style to any team.

'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The OER101 course I created exemplifies my ability to meet Competency 8. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/oer101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OER101: How to Find OER For Your Course<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an online training module designed to help faculty interested in incorporating open educational resources (OER) into their class locate appropriate OER for their subject area of expertise using search tools like the Open Textbook Library and the Creative Commons search engine. The design document I created during the analysis and design phase of this project demonstrates my ability to plan and design effective learning environments and experiences. The WordPress platform OER101 is built on shows my ability to take those plans and bring them to life using technology in a way that supports and enhances the design. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assessment and evaluation in OER101 further shows my ability to apply technology to learning environments. Some assessments were built directly into the WordPress platform, while others were built in Google Forms and then embedded into the course site. Google Forms allowed me to create a user-friendly assessment tool that would provide automatic feedback for learners. Understanding my audience\u2019s needs, I knew that faculty would want to progress through this module quickly, so providing instant feedback was important. Moreover, using embed codes allowed the two technologies to integrate seamlessly, giving users one simple platform. I also took the learning experience a step further by purchasing the domain name OER101.com and then forwarding that address to the real URL OER101 lives on (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/oer101\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/oer101\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Access to learning is important, and a simple URL to direct people to helps to increase access. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My consideration of easy access and user-friendly design shows my commitment to human issues surrounding the use of technology. OER101 also inherently demonstrates an understanding of social, ethical, and legal issues. Open educational resources are fundamentally about social justice and equal access to knowledge. WordPress, an open access software, similarly helps with the free dissemination of knowledge. Both the content and delivery method of my course speak to my commitment to social equality. Moreover, OER combats the ethical issues surrounding rapidly rising textbook prices. With commercial publishers continually trying to confuse students and faculty with practices like co-opting the term \u201copen education\u201d without actually being open, or implementing electronic access codes that limit access to learning materials, OER101 is an attempt to fight back against these ethical perversions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the underlying mechanism to open education and open educational resources is legal copyright. A big part of this learning module is teaching faculty about copyright issues and how open licenses aren\u2019t meant to eliminate one\u2019s legal copyright, but add to it and enhance it, by giving the creator the ability to tell downstream users exactly how they\u2019re allowed to use the material they created. My course itself is openly licensed, allowed others to take it and remix it if they want, so long as they attribute me as the original creator. Again, using an open source platform like WordPress allows me to give users that permission as my technology is not proprietary or commercially locked down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m proud of the way OER101 turned out and hope to continually improve and build upon it &#8212; or better yet, have others take it and improve it for their purpose and their audience. Learning is sharing, and that\u2019s what this course is all about. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px;

This course allowed us to analyze and synthesize instructional design practices through case studies, and apply those practices, concepts, and principles within authentic instructional design situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Carlin case study, I identified and analyzed learning and performance problems in the context of her first real ID job &#8212; for a client named Fritz David Manufacturing (FDM). This case study identified a lack of institutional knowledge as the primary barrier to learning and performance. Abby is tasked with creating a training for new employees, but the only resources she is given to work with are the current employees who show no desire to train the new employees. No guidebook or training manual exists at FDM either for Abby to work with. I analyzed the implications of this problem by suggesting a solution that would solve both Abby\u2019s short-term goal (creating a training for new employees) and long-term goal (creating institutional knowledge). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, what I suggest Abby do is video record the current employees performing their job and attempt to create a guidebook or list of steps based on what she sees first. Then, convince, or get the plant manager to incentivize if he has to, the current employees to sit down with Abby to 1) Explain what they are doing in the video she recorded, and 2) Answer a few questions on camera about what they\u2019ve learned over the years &#8212; \u201cexpert tips\u201d or something like that. This way, Abby doesn\u2019t have to convince the retiring operators to train new employees, rather just sit down in the break room and talk about their job for 30-60 minutes. If they\u2019re being paid for their time all the same, it shouldn\u2019t be seen as too onerous for the operators. Perhaps operators perceive this as a slight ego-boost as well &#8212; i.e. hearing \u201cyou\u2019ve done great work here for 30 years, please tell us how you\u2019ve been able to do such a great job\u201d is something nice to hear. This intervention should help Abby accomplish her goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third sub-competency was met with Project 3: The Evaluation Plan, from EDCI 577. This course, Strategic Assessment and Evaluation, explored principles and techniques that can be used to carry out evaluations within an organization and assessments of individual learners. This project allowed to create an Evaluation Report for a previous project mentioned in <a href=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/competency-3-communicate-knowledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Competency 3<\/a>: my <a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/competency-3-communicate-knowledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OER101<\/a> course. I created an Evaluation Process and used Kirkpatrick &amp; Kirkpatrick\u2019s (2006) industry-standard 4-level evaluation model to provide tools and strategies on how to evaluate learners\u2019 reaction to, and knowledge gained from, OER101. Being able to expand on this project was a really cool aspect of the LDT program for me. I hope to build it out even more moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kirkpatrick, D. L., &amp; Kirkpatrick, J. D. (2006). Evaluating Training Programs.

This past summer (August 2017), I presented at three separate workshops:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOpen American: Open Educational Resources @ AU,\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIntroduction to WordPress,\u201d and <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFaculty Tell All: Teaching Online @ AU.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of the workshops were recorded, and serve as my artifacts for this competency. These workshops demonstrate my contribution to a community of practice. My former job in CTRL focuses on the three areas I presented on: open education, wordpress, and online learning. When the summer workshop series came around, I was eager to share this knowledge with my colleagues at American University, and start a dialog around the application of these technologies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving forward, I would love to host more workshops or panel discussions on open pedagogy &#8212; that is, the idea of moving away from \u201cdisposable assignments\u201d that get read once and ultimately end up in a trash bin, and move towards \u201crenewable assignments\u201d like ePortfolios, student blogs, or other forms of learning that students actively contribute knowledge to. Real-world-based assignments are a good way to think about open pedagogy, and OER often helps facilitate these types of exercises, resulting in the similar term OER-enabled pedagogy. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px;

I figured if I\u2019m making the decision to go back to school, I\u2019m going to make the time and financial commitment really worth it and go all in within the field I\u2019m choosing to commit to. Two specific ways I have demonstrated a \u201cdisposition for life-long learning and continuous professional development\u201d are by my involvement with the <a href=\"https:\/\/openedgroup.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Education Group<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/research.cehd.umn.edu\/otn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Textbook Network<\/a>. These two organizations allow me to apply my specialty in instructional design to the field of open education. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around this time last year (May 2017 or thereabouts), I applied for a <a href=\"http:\/\/openedgroup.org\/fellowship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research fellowship<\/a> with the Open Education Group. Specifically, an OER (open educational resources) Research Fellowship which facilitates research on the impact of open educational resources and open pedagogy. This research is centered on the COUP framework (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ost of learning materials, student success <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">utcomes, patterns of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sage of OER, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erceptions of OER). I was selected as a fellow, and have spent the past year writing my research paper: \u201cAre Private Schools Exempt from Student Concerns About Textbook Costs? A Survey of Students at American University.\u201d This artifact is viewable above. The paper has been submitted to Open Praxis for publication, and has also been accepted for presentation at the <a href=\"https:\/\/openedconference.org\/2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 Open Education Conference<\/a> in Niagara Falls, NY this coming October. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My <a href=\"http:\/\/research.cehd.umn.edu\/otn\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">involvement<\/a> with the Open Textbook Network also allows me to apply my instructional design skills within the field of open education. The Open Textbook Network (OTN) helps higher education institutions and systems advance the use of open textbooks and practices on their campuses. My employer, American University, is a member of the Open Textbook Network. One of the ways the OTN is achieving their missing is through the development of an OER Bootcamp for librarians who want to get into the field of open education. The Bootcamp is funded through an IMLS grant, and I was chosen as one of four practitioners in the field of open education to develop and teach the bootcamp. This will be a hybrid learning experience with online work completed between November 2018 and April 2019, followed by an in-person intensive period during the ACRL 2019 Conference in Cleveland, OH. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two projects have allowed me to further develop my skills as a practitioner in the fields of instructional design and open education. What I would like to seek out further moving forward with regards to my professional development are opportunities to lead and effect change on a programmatic level. I\u2019d like for the next step in my career to be more of a director role where I can implement and oversee bigger picture programming. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px;

In EDCI 627: Instructional Design Project Management, we explored the application of project management ideas, concepts, and strategies in instructional design settings. The first and last assignments for this course asked us to consider the relationship between instructional design and project management, and create a visual representation of how we interpret this dynamic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project managers in the instructional design field must constantly practice inclusivity. As my graphic design depicts, communication is a fundamental aspect of managing educational projects. Learning is enhanced when we communicate with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures from our own. Similarly, the reflection also examines how instructional designers may be able to get away with working in a silo in some cases, but a project manager would never, by definition, be isolated from other people. This is akin to the relationship between educational technology and the broader field of education. That is, in order to see the forest and the trees at the same time, we must zoom out, connect with people, and practice good communication skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In my work, I have come to understand the importance of great communication skills as well. Without it, projects are\u00a0doomed to fail.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final sub-competency was accomplished by an artifact already presented in Competencies 1 &amp; 2: my final paper from EDCI 531: Learning Theory and Instructional Design. I critically evaluated the theory and practice of learning theories like constructivism and situated cognition in my paper, \u201cVirtual Cognitive Apprenticeships to Fill High School to College Knowledge Gap.\u201d The paper not only discusses the theoretical underpinnings of the education practice, but applied it to a proposed solution in the field of transitional education. The paper allowed to think critically and practically about theory &#8212; I was able to consider the potential ramifications of adopting an educational viewpoint by playing the situation out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Working in the field at the same time as being in this program has been a huge benefit to my learning. I have been able to apply knowledge right away and see practical examples of what I&#8217;m learning constantly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px;

This latter role allowed me to communicate effectively with my audience in both written and oral format. All the content on the course website was either created or curated by me. Some of the learning materials are visual, some are textual readings, and some are videos I recorded. These different formats show my ability to communicate\u00a0effectively in oral and written formats.<\/p>\n<p>Different formats of learning materials also demonstrates an understanding of good pedagogy for online learning. I leveraged the medium to communicate with my audience in various ways.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, my user-friendly design enabled this content to mesh well with sound online learning pedagogy. My learners are guided through the course in a linear fashion, are provided with multiple opportunities for engagement and assessment of knowledge, and are supported with feedback and encouragement in spite of the asynchronous learning environment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the strengths of this course is its brevity. This was a direct response to the learner analysis I conducted which solidified that if university faculty are my target audience, they won\u2019t have much time, nor patience, to complete a long drawn out course that serves no benefit to them other than their own personal enrichment. I adapted the instruction to the unique needs of my diverse audience. The asynchronous nature of the course further allows for a diverse group of participants who may be globally dispersed with various life and work commitments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><span class=\"av_font_icon avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style-  av-no-color avia-icon-pos-left \" style=\"\"><a href='https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/competency-2-create-knowledge\/'   class='av-icon-char' style='font-size:40px;line-height:40px;' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue830' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><span class=\"av_font_icon avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style-  av-no-color avia-icon-pos-right \" style=\"\"><a href='https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/competency-4-think-critically-and-reflectively\/'   class='av-icon-char' style='font-size:40px;line-height:40px;' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue832' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_12' class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-893'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2191,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-888","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2191"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/888\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":881,"date":"2018-05-04T15:45:36","date_gmt":"2018-05-04T15:45:36","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/?page_id=881"},"modified":"2018-05-28T17:10:03","modified_gmt":"2018-05-28T17:10:03","slug":"ldt-competency-portfolio","status":"publish","type":"page","link":"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/davidrose\/ldt-competency-portfolio\/","title":{"rendered":"LDT Competency Portfolio"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_13' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  container_wrap sidebar_right' style = 'background-color: #94b2d1; '  ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-893'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div style='padding-bottom:10px;color:#ffffff;font-size:72px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  av-inherit-size'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >LDT Competency Portfolio<\/h2><div class ='av-subheading av-subheading_below av_custom_color' style='font-size:20px;'><p>One of the final tasks in Purdue University\u2019s online Master of Science in Education in Learning Design &amp; Technology (LDT) program is the LDT Portfolio course.<\/p>\n<p>In this course, I developed an electronic competency portfolio that includes artifacts, narratives, and a competency table.

My paper, \u201cBeyond Cost Savings and Grade Improvement: The Value of Open Educational Resources at Elite Institutions,\u201d explored the topic of open educational resources (OER), and what benefits they can provide to upper-echelon colleges and universities, which aren\u2019t often the focus of OER research. This paper is a good example of the sub-competency: \u201cDemonstrates ability to describe common research methods in Educational Technology.\u201d OER research is primarily survey-based, with both qualitative and quantitative results. When affordability is often the first cited reason for OER adoption, what does that mean for more elite institutions who traditionally did not have to worry about the financial security of their students? My paper explored other research measures that should be taken into consideration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, my final papers for EDCI 513 and ECDI 531 demonstrated my ability to \u201cread and evaluate Educational Technology research,\u201d which is the second sub-competency. 531 was my first in the LDT program, and provided great foundational knowledge in various learning theories. We learned, in essence, how people learn, and what strategies could be deployed to meet those learning processes. My final paper for this course used the many readings and discussions on theories of human learning we had throughout the semester, and expanded on them to create a short training lesson. My paper, \u201cVirtual Cognitive Apprenticeships to Fill High School to College Knowledge Gap,\u201d detailed a developmental and college transition program and connected the research to my rationale for such a program. My suggestion for cognitive apprenticeships in an elearning environment provided an innovative, interesting way to approach a well-known model. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both papers also addressed the third and final sub-competency: \u201cApplies research findings to the solution of common problems in Educational Technology.\u201d In both cases, I created knowledge after synthesizing current research, applying principles of human learning theory from class, and provided a solution to common problems in the field of educational technology. In 513, it was through the use of OER, and in 531, via virtual cognitive apprenticeships. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px;

My paper, \u201cBeyond Cost Savings and Grade Improvement: The Value of Open Educational Resources at Elite Institutions,\u201d explored the topic of open educational resources (OER), and what benefits they can provide to upper-echelon colleges and universities, which aren\u2019t often the focus of OER research.

My solution for Lynn was one that respected diversity of opinion in an instructional setting, while still focusing on quality content first before investing resources into out-of-scope additions.
