Check the Gradebook

I've posted grades from the first two assignments. You can check your grades by clicking the Gradebook link at top left. Please call me or email if you have any questions about your grades.

Post about Presentation Software

Go to the discussion forum entitled "presentation software" and write at least 200 words (note this is a bit longer than usual) on your impressions of the chapter 8 content and on using presentation software to create visuals for a presentation, or to use in some other manner in instruction. You can also include comments about the presentation resources I directed you to in week 6.

In case you'd like to know more, here is a collection of "Top 10" reading lists from experts in instructional design and technology. It is interesting to see some of the works appearing on several person's lists.

Here is my list of top journals in IDT.

This week I'm in Dallas at the Association for Educational Communications and Technology annual convention. I'm on the Board of Directors for this organization, and I've been working this past year to organize the conference, including the conference website. I've been a part of this organization for many years, and it is the leading organization for professionals who study and practice instructional design.

I have been very impressed with almost all the assignments the students have submitted in this course, which makes me very happy. Please feel free to email me at any time, as many of you have.
