| 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. We have a 100% pass rate on the capstone project and internship course. This is a new program and these data represent the first graduating class in Spring 2010. |
| Results of External Exams/Assessments: What third-party assessments will measure what I have learned?: | Not Applicable. |
