Every fall semester new master’s students attend the IDE 631 course to learn the basics of design and instructional design. This course is carefully constructed based on the internationally validated practice standards for instructional design. One of the key activities is for the students to learn about, practice, and then identify what they think are the most critical competencies for new instructional designers. Throughout the course they are exposed to and practice several of the competencies articulated in the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and Instruction (ibstpi) ID standards and the must create a model instructional designer based on the 10 competencies they think are most important. Once they identify the most important competencies they must identify some object that represent each and then use those objects to construct a model. In addition to creating the model they create a chart that lists each of the 10 competencies, the item that represents each, and a rational for each competency and its object. Below is a picture of the class of Fall 2016 and their models.
