| Evidence of Student Learning - Internal: How will the program measure what I have learned?: | Outcomes for the eLearning Design Specialist Program are measured with a capstone project as well as an Internship experience. The capstone project is created after all coursework in the program has been completed, before the internship placement. The capstone project addresses each of the program competencies. Students must go through the entire instructional design process to design, develop, implement, and evaluate an eLearning lesson or module, including all considerations addressed in the program coursework. The internship then reinforces the program competencies in a “real world” setting. In the internship placement, students work with their supervisor on an eLearning Design development project and are evaluated based on the program competencies. For the CCL in eLearning Design Specialist, final projects for ELN204, and internship scores for ELN290AA/AB/AC were pulled from RioLearn/Perception, Rio's online grading tool. Of all students in the program who earned CCL degrees during Fiscal Year 2010, the overall final project pass rate for the two classes was 100%. |
