ABOUT KRISTA M. RUNDIKS

Professional Goal

My professional goal is to create an instructional design that encompasses a multitude of strategies and theories and provides an effective, collaborative, and transformational learning experience. I’ve been a professional web and graphic designer for 15 years and over the past couple years have branched out into the instructional design field. As an adult learner and designer, I resonate the most with constructivist, cognitivist, and humanist learning theories.

A good instructional design encompasses the following characteristics and is:

  • Learner-centered
  • Culturally inclusive
  • Scaffolded
  • Provides collaborative activities through building a community of inquiry (CoI)
  • Encourages a community of practice (CoP)
  • Encourages mentor / mentee relationships
  • Provides opportunities for reflection and response
  • Uses situated learning
  • Integrates learner support
  • Emphasizes social presence
  • Flexible and allows learner feedback
  • Provides clear policies and guidelines
  • Can be evaluated for future improvements and iterations
  • Inspirational and motivational to learners
