Assignment Reflection

This assignment is broken down into four individual research activities. As an ITDE professional I found these research activities to be very informative and insightful, especially when learning about different individuals in the field of instructional technology. Working in training and development I am aware of some professional associations and conferences, but I don’t usually have the time to investigate and look new ones up. The first two activities had us research professional associations and conferences that currently exist in the ITDE field and I have book marked several of them as resources of organizations and events that I could possibly join or attend in the future. Looking up professional journals was a perfect activity for me to learn about some of the professional journals in the instructional design field. This activity gave me an opportunity to learn about the guidelines and requirements that helped me write the journal article assignment for the EDD 8123 course.
