| Who is in the Agency? Students actively enrolled in the Learning Design & Technology (LDT) graduate program. Typically, working adult learners transitioning into an instructional design career. |
| Why? Doing is learning. The best way to hone knowledge, skills, and abilities is through hard fun with experiential project based learning and applied learning theory. This is that. |
| Is this for-credit? Students may to take INTE6930: Internship in affiliation with their Agency work, but it is not required. You may review the syllabus here - pre-approval from the instructor is required. This course may be repeated up to 3 times for 9 credits toward the MA degree, with facutly advisor approval. |
| Is this employment? This is not employment. Our purpose is experiential field based learning for LDT students. |
| Who is the boss? The project. As LDT professionals, all parties are responsible for their own work, responsible to project timelines, deliverables, and partners. |
| What is the work schedule? Work is part-time, asynchronish, and remote - like an online class. Students work from home on their own time and on their own computers, with occassional web conference meetings to synchronize, check-in, and plan. |
| How are projects assigned? The Agency works with & between clients and students to arrange an ideal match for all parties. We weigh student availability, skillset, growth interests, and grit -- relative to project timelines, needs, and expectations. |
| What about tech? Most work is accomplished like LDT coursework - on the student's own computer and with CU/program provisioned software. If a project requires something additional - the Agency will provide it. |
| What about the money? Clients may purchase project-hours at $40/hour - flat rate. Project-hours bank with the Agency until they are used. Students track project-hours which are deducted from the project's balance. Monies are split 50/50 between Agency operational costs and student scholarship funds. |
