Objectives
and Expectations
The Immersion
Program is designed to allow you the opportunity to participate
in an authentic, project-based and guided instructional design experience.
Given that knowledge and application are two different levels of
learning, this program allows you to utilize and practice your instructional
design knowledge in an applied context. Additionally, in this type
of experience, other needed skills become apparent such as a team-based
orientation, clear communication and negotiation skills, among others.
The Immersion program will allow you to practice and explore these
skills as well as integrate and internalize the instructional design
and development processes.
The Immersion
experience is based on action
learning and high-performance team concepts. Focusing on a clear
project purpose as well as strong commitment to learning and working
toward the acheivement of the end result are the major areas of
emphasis in this program.
