End of Course Concept Map

This concept map portrays my progression through the course. i think the presentation of concepts and resources did help build my schema of effective online teaching. There are many more details that could be added to this map. Instructional design, although often ignored or dissed, is rich with research and applications that can help instructional designers apply the best to their projects. I am elated when a faculty or other stakeholder "gets it", meaning they realize that these insights, based in academic research, increase the value of their course and instruction for the student.

I hope to use the excellent resources in the course to inform my future work in instructional design.
