Let's get started!

Hello Everyone!
This is a quick introduction to the Design Journal for the EDIT 6190 Studio course that I am taking at the University of Georgia. This course is part of a requirement for the Masters in Instructional Design and Development.

The Design Journal can be explained below by the text found in the Studio Handbook *

Students are expected to complete several readings related to design. Among the most important set of readings relate to “learning by designing”, a point of view known as constructionism. As the name implies, this perspective holds that learning is best achieved through the construction or building of an artifact that can be shared and critiqued publicly. Participants are expected to keep and maintain a design journal according to the schedule identified by the instructor as they complete their Independent Project. Participants are also expected to write a short review and critique of the design literature they read during the semester. It is recommended that this literature review and critique be integrated into the design journal, but this can also be written as a stand-alone paper.

I hope you follow along on this journey of design!
