Flautist, clarinet player, or violinist?
Which IDE faculty member left which of these instruments behind to pursue an academic career in instructional design? On Monday, December 12, Dr. Lei, Dr. Koszalka, and Dr. Smith shared their current research projects with IDE doctoral students in a leisurely discourse. All enjoyed hearing about Tiffany’s RIDLR project; Nick’s recent work on action design research, evaluation as a discipline, and defining VALUE in evaluation; and Jing’s work with Bruce and Levin’s Technology for Inquiry, Expression, Construction and Communication. The event was sweetened by the culinary delicacies of IDE doctoral students.
Dr. Smith also shared that he had previously been a member of the community band in which he played the clarinet. Dr. Lei retired her flute when she moved to Michigan State to pursue her doctoral degree. The aspiring violinist was Dr. Koszalka who tragically lost her instrument in a fire.
