My first artifact is the self-directed learning assignment from MDDE 610. This was an individual assignment that was very open ended, in that we were able to choose any focus in any discipline. The assignment involved dedicating some time to learn something of interest to us and then making a presentation of our learning journey. I chose this assignment because it was my most enjoyable assignment in the MDDE program, and I found it to be of value lasting beyond the confines of the class and the program. Through the experience I gained self-confidence in my abilities as an instructional designer, and self-realization of my bias towards using new technology and how that might affect my students. For my assignment I chose to learn how to use Rise 360, as I had recently lost a student work opportunity because I didn’t have technical skills relating to that program, and upon searching instructional designer job listings it seemed to be a popular choice for corporate instructional designer jobs. After learning how to use the program I presented my learning journey as a module or mini-course in Rise 360 and felt quite accomplished when my instructor asked if they could use it in a work presentation for some clients that were considering using the software.

I noticed that you didn't have the full text for the sub-competencies in your artifact, do you think there is a benefit to having it or just leave out the text altogether and have only the numbers?

Kim- I see you have added the coloured background to the table boxes- I think those look great.
The layout has enough balance to leave the sub-competencies fully written I think. If they extended too far past your written portion it might skew the design and aesthetic. It is nice to read and reference exactly what you are indicating.
