The course is designed to assist candidates in researching a problem of their own choosing in order to produce a solution using IDPT processes. The problems must be current ones from education, government, business, industry and/or health-related professions. Candidates develop a portfolio of research supporting their project and indicating the reasons for their decisions. Candidates present their research findings and project solutions in an open forum.
Under the guidance of their faculty advisor and the IDPT committee, candidates develop their own proposal, parameters of the study, and integration within IDPT. Candidates apply the entire IDPT process to a problem that can be solved with instruction and training using instructional design and human performance improvement. The project is presented in written or electronic form at the end of the course.
