Ethical Need Analysis
Description
This artifact contains a record of an interview with an instructional design professional from the Learning Technology Company. In this interview, I asked questions to understand the concepts, philosophies, and role of instructional design in the business world established from her academic and professional background. It also includes my early thoughts on contributing as an instructional designer to a language educator's perspective in foreign language study.
​
Rationale
I learned specific activities as an instructional designer from interviews with a professional at the Learning Technology Company. This interview presents a standard theory and background in instructional design regardless of the type of institution to which they belong. At the same time, she talked about the differences in the philosophies required for instructional designers in the business world and educational institutions. This interview taught me to design instruction from the perspectives of two clients: learners and universities. This artifact emphasizes the ability to work collaboratively with other collaborators. We used tools such as email and video conferencing to communicate with team members.
