Self-Evaluation
The successful completion of the Instructional Design and Educational Technology (IDET) program represents a significant professional and academic achievement. Throughout the program, I developed a comprehensive and applied foundation in instructional design principles, learning theories, and technology integration, demonstrating the ability to translate theory into effective, practice-based solutions. Through rigorous coursework, collaborative projects, and applied assignments, I consistently designed and evaluated high-quality learning experiences using systematic, evidence-based instructional design methodologies. These experiences strengthened my ability to address authentic instructional challenges, collaborate effectively with diverse teams, and deliver solutions aligned with organizational and learner needs.
Completing the IDET program has further refined my expertise in advanced instructional design, research-informed decision-making, and program evaluation strategies. The capstone experience, in particular, served as a culminating demonstration of my ability to synthesize theoretical knowledge and applied skills to solve a complex, real-world instructional problem. Overall, this program has prepared me to contribute meaningfully to the field of instructional design and educational technology through informed practice, continuous improvement, and leadership in professional learning environments.
