By Jing Lei, Ph.D. | IDD&E Department Chair
On April 16, 2021, our IDD&E department held an online information session at Shanghai International Studies University (SISU)—a top university in China and one of our memorandum-of-understanding (MOU) partnership universities—to introduce instructional design C.A.S., M.S., and Ph.D. programs to SISU students who may be interested in getting one of our degrees. The session was very well-received. Dr. Joanna O. Masingila, Dean of the School of Education, started the session by giving an overview of Syracuse University and the School of Education. Following this introduction, I discussed the dual-degree programs at the master’s level included in the MOU and explained the program requirements. Finally, Dr. Tiffany A. Koszalka gave an invited lecture titled “Instructional Designer Profession and ADDIE.” In it, Dr. Koszalka discussed the ADDIE process and showcased alumni from our C.A.S., M.S., and Ph.D. programs and what they are doing now in business and industry, K–12, higher education, and other contexts as instructional design specialists and scholars. After the presentation, SISU students asked questions about the instructional design field and career potential with a degree in IDD&E.
