- What is your best instructional design product?
My best product was the Advocate Training Lab created in EDLT590. This course went through extensive testing and review and I feel like it is a product that I can deliver to many non-profit organizations and political groups.
- What was your most difficult product to create?
The most difficult products to create were TikTok videos for EDLT577. I have always been hesitant to put myself out there on social media and making those videos made me feel vulnerable. It did force me to become more confident with spreading information online.
- What challenges did you face in the program?
Time management was the most challenging issue for me. I was balancing school, a full-time job, a part-time job, being Chairman of the Democratic Party of Doña Ana County, and raising 3 young kids.
- What have you learned about yourself as an Instructional Designer/Online Educator over the course of the EDLT program?
I have learned to be more student-centered in my approach to instructional design. I have also learned how to be aware of bias and dominant culture norms. Moving forward, I am committed to using cultural relevant practices in my design approach.
