T127 Capstone and Analysis
In collaboration with the Teaching and Learning Lab (TLL) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and my partner Lauren Jensen, I developed, user tested, and piloted a simulation of a Learning Design Kick-Off Meeting. Dr. William Wisser, Director of the TLL, served as our Subject Matter Expert (SME) and guided our design process. The…

T127 Week 10 Reflection: Media Decisions & Viewpoint
In Week 10 of T127: Teaching and Learning Lab Practicum, we focused on media development. Prof. Bill Wisser emphasized that as learning designers we are not expected to be animation or video or audio production specialists, although learning designer are often involved with scripting and directing edits to media in collaboration with SMEs and media…

T127 Reflection: Simulation Rapid Prototyping and User Testing
For T127, Teaching and Learning Lab Practicum, my team’s project is to investigate the use of simulations in Higher Education. To do this, we decided to develop and pilot a simulation using a platform that faculty has indicated interest in: Viewpoint. In Spring of 2022, two previous students – Sabina Zacco and Alessandra Lopez –…

T127 Week 4 Reflection: Frameworks
In Week 4 of T127: Teaching and Learning Lab Practicum, we examined several instructional design frameworks. Frameworks and models are useful, particularly as a novice to a field. But as I reflect on projects I’ve been involved in, the frameworks sometimes seem silly. Real-life projects are so messy. Technical and logistical issues arise that can…

T127 Discover Module: Simulation Project and Learning Goals
In the first module of the Teaching and Learning Lab Practicum, we were asked to explore core theoretical concepts related to how people learn and how we can design instruction that employs those concepts. We were also asked to consider how ongoing projects at the Teaching and Learning lab can help us meet personal learning…
