EDET 650 - Internship
This artifact was created as the final submission for my internship work during the Fall 2022 semester. I created the slides and presented in a screencast the work I created during the internship and an overview of the company I interned with.
This presentation summarized the deliverables created for SCRWA during this internship as well as my internship experience. It was created for the course I was in, but overall is useful in giving a quick view of the entire internship experience.
I created the slides and graphics for this video, wrote the voiceover, presented the material, and edited the video together.
This artifact fits into the project planning and management categories within the project management section of MRK’s design model (Morrison et al., 2019). Over the course of the internship, I engaged in project planning activities including scheduling, time allocation, identifying milestones, and tracking work time. The scope of work for the entire internship was predetermined and prescheduled, although the schedule ended up adapting as the project progressed. This video served as the final recap of all of the achieved milestones and deliverables as well as my sense of the internship experience. This video also fits within the Analysis phase of the ADDIE model despite it occurring at the end of the project (“Addie Model,” 2018). The video reviewed the timeline and deliverable expectations versus execution and analyzed where pitfalls arose.
This artifact fulfills the requirements for AECT Standard #4 - Professional Knowledge and Skills (AECT, 2012).This video meets the collaborative practice and reflection on practice indicators for this standard. I collaborated with SMEs at my company to determine content and develop instruction topics. In addition, the entire video serves as a reflection on the effectiveness and experience of working in this internship.
I enjoyed giving a final report in this format, alternatively to writing a paper or final summary. There was a maximum time limit imposed on this video which I believed would allow for plenty of time, but I really struggled to edit it down to the vicinity of the time limit. Once I began presenting and discussing all of the deliverables and internship experiences, I struggled to maintain the brevity this artifact ended up requiring. Working on this internship illustrated to me the importance of scheduling work in an organized and consistent manner that takes into account potential scheduling conflicts and travel. I was able to complete everything I set out to acheive during this internship but did have to rework my initial schedule a few times throughout the process due to travel or other conflicts.
