Peer Feedback & Design March 29, 2026 This week marked a significant transition in my design process as I shifted my prototype development into Canvas due to the expiration of my Articulate Rise account. This transition, while it initially felt logistical and somewhat cumbersome, ultimately deepened my engagement with the structure and intentionality of my modules. As I began building content within the Canvas platform, I found myself collaborating closely with teacher collea

March 21, 2026 Conjecture mapping has become a powerful framework for helping me think more intentionally about the relationship between design, practice, and outcomes in educational settings. Rather than simply creating a tool or professional learning experience and hoping it works, conjecture mapping pushes me to explicitly articulate how  and why  specific design elements should lead to improved learning. As Sandoval (2013) explains, conjecture mapping “reifies” design ass

March 15, 2026 This week’s desk critique process provided me an opportunity to engage deeply with instructional design ideas while applying concepts from the readings to real design artifacts. Reviewing peers’ prototypes required not only understanding their artifact vision but also thinking critically about how their designs addressed learner needs and how the ideas might evolve through further iteration. The experience reinforced that instructional design is rarely a straig
