Instructional System Design Management and Leadership, CERT
for the campus Graduate Certificate in Instructional System Design Management and Leadership
Instructional System Design Management and Leadership (ISDML) Campus Graduate Certificate requires 16 credit hours to complete. The ISDML CERT is designed to train individuals to aspire to design and develop technology-enriched and -enabled learning systems for broadly defined learning and performance goals in workplace contexts. The ISDML CGC equips students in foundational knowledge and competencies in instructional system design and learning technology integration for practical application purposes in workplace settings. In addition, the coursework will help learners develop skills in various topical areas (e.g., project management, program evaluation, consulting with organizations). We anticipate the proposed CGC to produce capable instructional designers who can lead efforts to meet many increasing needs of workplaces and workforce development to expand learning and development modalities from face-to-face to virtual settings, in response to changing organizational needs as well as major systemic changes. Upon completing the CGC, students will be able to:
• Modify existing learning systems and solutions for remote and online delivery;
• Design scalable learning systems and solutions for developing working professionals’ capabilities in the workplace;
• Develop learning systems and solutions for broadly defined learning and performance outcomes in the workplace across industries;
• Facilitate adoptions of innovations in broadly defined learning and performance contexts in the workplace;
• Evaluate the impact of learning systems and solutions in the workplace;
• Manage the processes and resources involved in instructional system design
