Below, you will find my instructional design notes for a class session on Perry’s Theory of Intellectual and Ethical Development Among College Students in a graduate course on the theoretical foundation of college student services. To design this session, I used an ADDIE framework and embedded a 5 E’s lesson structure inside of that framework. I went with the 5 E’s lesson structure because I wanted this session to be constructivist in nature. This session was presented face-to-face and used the LMS to provide supplementary materials.
