I created this storyboard to guide the development of a hypothetical learning module on Myths and Misconceptions About the Aging Process. Click on the image to take you to my Google Drive, which houses the storyboard. The module itself was never developed because this storyboard was the terminal artifact to be created as part of a master's level instructional design course at Purdue.

Using Adult Learning Theories

In this document, I have explored six adult learning theories and their various applications in real-world contexts, with a little humor as a bonus: Behaviorism, Social Cognitive Theory, Cognitive Learning Process Theory, Cognitive Information Processing Theory, Gagne's Theory of Instruction, and Constructivism.  This was created as part of a master's level assignment in Purdue's MSEd program in Learning Design & Technology. For an additional example of using all six of these learning theories in the writing classroom, visit this infographic on my Google Drive.

    MSEd in Learning Design & Technology

    Purdue's MSEd program in Learning Design & Technology is unique because there is a focus on demonstrating competencies for technology, instructional design models, adult learning theories, and project-based tasks that are typical for instructional designers in the field. I graduated Purdue's MSEd program in Learning Design & Technology with a 4.0 GPA. This program-based portfolio includes artifacts I designed and developed, and their respective programmatic reflections. Select projects and artifacts from it are also listed above in this portfolio. https://sites.google.com/view/cindymalerba/home
