Instructional Design is a systematic process of developing educational experiences and materials, tailored to effectively achieve specific learning outcomes. It involves identifying needs, analyzing learner contexts, crafting instructional strategies, and assessing performance to ensure that the goals of teaching and learning are met efficiently and inclusively.

Learn how students navigate VR tools, channel their cultural identities into unique graffiti designs, and refine their work through collaborative efforts and peer critiques. The video also highlights the instructional strategies, design process, and adjustments made to enhance accessibility and engagement. Whether you're an artist or an enthusiast, this presentation showcases the power of blending art and cutting-edge technology to push creative boundaries."
Refelection Understanding what a systematic learning plan is was an ongoing process for me. Each step needed to connect to the next, like building blocks within a model, and it involved constant revisions and thoughtful consideration of many factors—such as content, media, environment, technology, diversity, disabilities, and different languages. While I faced challenges along the way, I was able to draw from resources in other classes and collaborate with peers, whose experience and insights helped streamline my learning and introduce new ideas. I also used tools like Otio and ChatGPT AI to support my work. At one point, I experienced tunnel vision during the design process and had to step back and reassess my approach. This experience taught me that working with others can significantly accelerate learning, and that every learner is different, progressing at their own pace. It also expanded my critical thinking skills and helped me see how technology can be integrated into any future role where systematic, inclusive teaching is essential.
