The instructional material I choose is a module on personal relationship in the Spanish class I took in the spring of 2016 at Syracuse University. The module is covered in Chapter 1 of the textbook Imagina (3rd ed., 2015), and seven 50-minute class sessions were allocated for the module between January 19–28, 2016. The course has an additional website with additional grammar exercises, videos, audios, and grammar explanations for students (some of which are mandatory).
It took me 2.5 hours to familiarize with the course structure, Blackboard, all requirements, the syllabus, and initial tutorials. At first I thought this will be the course to storyboard a piece of instruction which I want to develop, but it turned out it should be enhancement of the existing instructional unit.
This is the first day of my capstone class in Instructional Design. The day before I reviewed the requirements on Blackboard, and once again realized that the IDD&E program at Syracuse University is basically Tiffany’s program. This is her 4th class I’m taking, and I already see that it’s going to be an unusual experience.
