Podcast Overview

We’re Naat and Jeff. We’re instructional designers. We help faculty design and build courses. Hybrid, online, face-to-face too! Faculty have lots of questions, but so do we. We also wonder about the nuts and bolts, the how and why of course design. Hear us talk about things we might take for granted, design practices we accept, but should question, debate different approaches, and explore new tools. This podcast is for instructional designers, faculty, teachers, administrators, really anyone fascinated or curious about the design of effective teaching and learning.

S2 Ep. 8 - I'm an ID. How do I bring up DEI?

Concluding our multi-episode discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we ask: “How do I talk to faculty about diversity, equity, and inclusion in online course design?” You do not need to put faculty on the spot. You are free to be deliberative, begin with universal design principles, allow faculty to try out practices, and use your ID perspective to comment on examples. But later, do bring up data about your student body, research about DEI practices, and that universal design practices and specific practices for minoritized students go hand-in-hand. To best implement universal design practices, such as transparency, you change your assignment prompts to reflect the needs of the specific students in your course and institution. Designing for specific students follows the major tenet of instructional design: design for your target audience. We then better practice systematic instructional design yielding a better base for evaluation. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ge080ho6THQEKBgpyB3fw9iVvtOLgehtwpqPpqlShcM/edit#heading=h.6mpi0w4scuub" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>

S2 Ep. 7 - What are specific DEI design practices and who do they help?

Continuing our multi-episode discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we now want specifics: "What are specific DEI design practices and who do they help?" We organize the specific practices into three categories: (1) DEI practices that have significant overlap with traditional course design practices; (2) course design practices that need to be creatively reframed to address DEI in an intentional way; and (3) DEI practices that are difficult to place into a traditional course design framework. We discuss "clear expectations and criteria" to unpack hidden curriculum; "use of various instructional materials" for cultural relevant instruction; and equity gap analysis. We leave the discussion concerned that even with information about students and practices, faculty or designers may not implement them. We still need to answer "Why DEI?" <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ge080ho6THQEKBgpyB3fw9iVvtOLgehtwpqPpqlShcM/edit#heading=h.z2amwug9015o" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>

S2 Ep. 6 - Isn't good design naturally inclusive?

We continue our multiple-episode discussion about diversity, equity, and inclusion in online course design, by pumping the brakes and asking “Isn’t good course design naturally inclusive?” Traditional course design is geared towards a generic student. While needs analysis is a part of traditional instructional design, IDs and faculty typically skip that step to focus on the design for learning the content or Universal Design for Learning principles. When designing for student input and contribution, more information about our students, and their unique needs is required for a design strategy that better meets their needs. But we run into the problem that as designers we do not always have time or the ability to survey student needs before designing a specific course or cannot design courses for individual students. We also do not know what strategies we could use if we had that information. We conclude that traditional course design is accidentally inclusive, but not intentionally so. We set up the question for the next episode: how can we build off traditional course design and make it intentionally inclusive? <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ge080ho6THQEKBgpyB3fw9iVvtOLgehtwpqPpqlShcM/edit#heading=h.kwukleis2kn2" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>
