Within our Instructional Design & Technology 7095/8095, project teams will be presenting synopses of their projects for this semester in a Project Showcase of live clients. Their work represents approximately $15,000 - 20,000 worth of instructional development. In the showcase, each team of students will present a 20-minute overview of their project and product. This is a professional presentation, and the content of this presentation will represent an executive summary of their projects. I particularly encourage current students in our programs to attend in order to have a stronger vision of the requirements of the course and how your coursework prepares you for this course.
