Topic 1: Introduction to Instructional Design. Explore an overview of the theoretical frameworks, current trends, and common concerns associated with the design and development of instructional materials. Investigate the theoretical, practical, and critical perspectives on instructional design as it is applied in a variety of educational contexts (i.e. K-12, higher education, and corporate training) and modes (i.e. face-to-face, hybrid, and online). Only one of the following may be counted: Curriculum and Instruction 384P (Topic 21), 390T (Topic 21), 390T (Topic 39), 395T (Topic 1). Three lecture hours a week for one semester.

Topic 2: Humanizing Pedagogy and Technology Integration. Explore theoretical and applied practices of teaching and learning in a twenty-first-century classroom, as informed by research and best practices. Examine the framing, applied knowledge and design thinking needed to transform curriculum using technology integration and connected learning strategies. Consider authentic learning problems and devise teaching and classroom solutions that promote student learning, humanize pedagogy, and work towards the elimination of digital inequity in schools. Curriculum and Instruction 395T (Topic: Humanizing Pedag Tech Integ) and 395T (Topic 2) may not both be counted.

Topic 3: Humanizing Pedagogy and Online Teaching for K-12 Education. Examine models that help design teaching and learning within online spaces, in ways that help to balance cognitive, teaching, and social presence throughout the online course student experience. Explore theoretical models that drive high impact online learning designs, research that informs K-12 practice and models for technology integration and student engagement that promote digital equity. Apply these theoretical frameworks to design online courses that are intended for use in authentic K-12 online educational settings. Curriculum and Instruction 395T (Topic: Hum Pedag Online Tch K12 Ed) and 395T (Topic 3) may not both be counted.

Topic 4: Technology Designs for Digital Justice. Learn theoretical approaches to digital justice that promote culturally and community connected, digital learning designs within and beyond the walls of the classroom. Explore a critical frame using a design justice lens and interrogate instructional technology designs while evaluating and designing digital learning spaces. Examine how connected and design justice approaches can meet students at typical boundaries of where they live and learn, extend learning environments to cultivate learners' interests, and provide secure and inclusive learning experiences that span the formal and informal. Curriculum and Instruction 395T (Topic: Tech Dsgn for Digi Justice) and 395T (Topic 4) may not both be counted.

Topic 5: Technology Innovation for Digital Justice. Develop as "Connected Educators" by participating within Communities of Practice (CoP's) related to educators' digital equity interests.
