The instructional design team at Georgia State University is two years into their rapid prototyping methodology to curriculum design. The process has yielded positive results in cross-functional collaboration and program quality. At the center of this process is a system blending instructional design with data visualizations for a student-centered approach.
The instructional design team at GSU is a couple years into adopting a student-centered, rapid prototyping methodology to course and program design. The process has yeilded positive results in how the cross-functional teams now collaborate and in the quality of the programs developed. At the center of this process is a system blending instructional design with unique data visualizations for a truly student-centered approach, which allows us to rapidly prototype, gather feedback from course owners and instructors, and iterate toward continuous improvement. This process enables everyone to better align curriculum to the needs and preexisting skills of students.
To illustrate our findings, we'll share three specific program development case studies:
- Master’s in Public Health - The goal for this program redesign was to show program alignment to updated CEIF Accreditation guidelines
- EdPsych - The goal for this program redesign was to meet structural leadership changes and new vision
- Criminal Justice - The goal for this redesign was to create flexibility and increase enrollment
