Productivity and Professional Practice:

Educational technology leaders design, develop, evaluate and model products created using technology resources to improve and enhance their productivity and professional practice.

Online Courses - During my last semester at Kent State University, I was a practicum student working in Instructional Design at The Cleveland Clinic.  I worked with a talented instructional designer in the Office of Nursing Education, Technology and Simulation.  Our main project during the practicum was to convert online nursing courses to a new learning management system.  We used a program called Articulate Presenter to accomplish this task.  Click here to see some screenshots of two courses on medical procedures that I converted to a new management system:  a course on Defibrillation and one on Code Blue.

The creation of these online courses demonstrate achievement of this standard because they allowed me to use new software applications to create  products that would be used in the "real" world since these courses would be used by nurses at The Cleveland Clinic.  This experience also allowed me to apply instructional design principles to develop instructional products.  In addition, this project shows organizing and coordinating online curricular projects to build courses around specific topics.

Change Model Tutorial - Another collaboration project that I was involved in was part of a class called Managing Technological Change.  A classmate and I created an online tutorial about technology standards and integration. 

This project shows achievement of this standard because it allowed me to organize, coordinate and participate in an online learning community (our Managing Technology Change class) by using the online tutorial to support learning.
