Abstract

Within the setting of a new Digital Media area of concentration, a new course in Instructional Design and Project Management for undergraduates is being designed. The course adopts a constructivist approach to learning with a foundation set upon a cognitivist approach using fact finding and rehearsal and role playing among other learning strategies. In an undergraduate, hands-on, constructivist course (as Assistant Professor) students are guided as they choose one leader, or project manager, from their group. They then find a client (for example one group is working with the Kings, one with a local Bed & Breakfast, and another with the library). They then meet with their clients and begin a top-level design. They prepare flow charts and asset breakdowns to Gantt charts and planning documents, even prototypes, for their clients before contracts are drawn up (either with their professor or their client).
