Course Project Samples
OPWL students are required to complete a real workplace project, for a real client in the workplace, as a member of a virtual team. These projects are intended to provide students practice conducting a needs assessment, an evaluation as well as designing instruction, developing e-learning modules or proposing a research project. The goal is to provide student practice applying the fields’ models to resolve real workplace problems so the process can successfully be replicated in the student’s workplace. While that is the primary goal, we are proud that so many of the course projects done by students have resulted in grants being awarded or proposed solutions being implemented as the client feedback indicates on the below spring 2016 student instructional design project.
Below are course project samples completed by students to resolve real workplace needs.

- Survey Questionnaire Development Assignment – Sample (PDF)
Completed by Jackie Kerzner - Data Analysis with Excel Assignment – Sample (.xlsx)
Completed by Jackie Kerzner - Student comments about specific skill set takeaways
There has been SO much real world transfer with this course–it’s the one that’s paid off the most the fastest because it’s such a discrete set of skills that I’ve been able to do a bunch of surveys for work and for clients!
