Integrating Dispositions in Instructional Design
In 2025, I presented my research, “Integrating Dispositions in Instructional Design: An Exploratory Study in Higher Education,” at the International AECT Convention in Las Vegas. This presentation shared findings on how professional dispositions can be intentionally integrated into instructional design in higher education contexts. I discussed whether and how dispositions are embedded in instructional design, the types of teaching and learning activities used to foster them, and the assessment strategies employed to assess them and their alignment. I also examined the consequences and barriers of not intentionally integrating dispositions into design, and why this often leads to outcomes that fall short of what educators aim to achieve.

On October 9th and 10th, 2024, we hosted a workshop to introduce about 140 students to Ti-BOT, which stands for Technology Integration: Blended and Online Teaching, a competency-based program at Purdue’s College of Education.
Simply knowing technology doesn’t necessarily mean knowing how to effectively integrate it into teaching practices. Ti-BOT is designed to bridge that gap, fostering educators who will shape the future of our society. I believe the 10 competencies covered in this program will significantly enhance students' learning experiences and empower them to create meaningful and impactful educational environments.
Boiler up!
At the large fair hosted by Purdue University, our Purdue Student Chapter of NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders) had the opportunity to showcase our chapter to the many students who visited. The event took place on Saturday, August 17th, from 12:00 to 3:00 pm. Many students approached us with curiosity, eager to learn about our plans. As always, we enthusiastically shared our short and long-term goals, including but not limited to: educating people about various rare disorders, being a voice for those affected by them, offering guidance and advocacy to those who are suffering, etc.
It was particularly moving when some visitors approached us and said, “I am also a zebra.” For those who may not know, the zebra is the official symbol for rare disease patients. This stems from the idea that in medical school, students are often taught to think of horses, not zebras, when hearing hoofbeats, meaning they should look for the most common explanation. However, for rare disease patients, those hoofbeats are zebras, representing their unique and uncommon conditions.
Thank you, Behnaz Akbari (the President of this chapter), for all your hard work, and Fatemeh Dadashipour, for your support as the VP of Marketing.
As the Vice President of this chapter, I would like to invite you to help us be the voice of those who are suffering from rare disorders.
Together, we are stronger.
