SKILL TO DO COMES OF DOING

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PROJECTS


I create this PPP presentation based on the Instructional Design Project that I have created during the academic year 2006-2007 on the C&TE program, College of Technology, Bowling Green State University.

Then I thought to give some more details about these project.
Please feel free to write your comments.
