## Your mission...

You have been contacted by an faculty member "Jane" who has just been hired to teach a course (TEDLD572) for the Education Program's Higher Education Leadership EdD program in summer 2016. You are fairly new to the campus and your meeting with the faculty member has been scheduled two weeks from now but, like any good designer, you want to be proactive in learning the most that you can about the class, program and students prior to the meeting. Upon exploring webpages, time schedules and program data, you collect the following pieces of information and begin to fill in your Learner Analysis Worksheet.
* Using the data provided below, fill out your Learner Analysis Worksheet. Use this to complete the final assessment at the end of the lesson.*

## Your data...
### EdD Program Design (found on the program webpage)

In our region, many educators find themselves in administrative positions requiring not only teaching expertise, but leadership skills, policy knowledge, and the ability to affect positive organizational change, often without the background and experience to be successful and confident in such roles.
These individuals are frequently experts in their professional disciplines; however, today’s leaders are required to exhibit skill sets and knowledge bases that extend beyond the professional master’s degree. Today’s leaders must possess experience and expertise in employing research to improve organizational outcomes, to ensure quality teaching for diverse learners, to effectively assess programs, and to lead local and national accreditation and accountability processes. They must be effective political advocates, and informed fiscal and human resource managers. These leaders must demonstrate emotional intelligence necessary to successfully lead a diverse workforce, as well as professional expertise and high standards of legal, moral, and ethical behavior This is a three-year, 97-credit cohort-based program. For those who wish to earn the P-12 Superintendent Certificate, six additional credits are required in order to meet all state competencies; therefore, 103 credits will be required. Students must meet entry requirements and prerequisite skill levels prior to being granted admission to the program.

### Course Scheduling information (found in the time schedule)
#### Timing & Location

    Courses are offered as two full days, Fridays and Saturdays, approximately once per month. Students will participate in electronic study groups throughout the month and be expected to utilize other Web 2.0 tools to successfully complete tasks and to prepare for the monthly meetings.

### Email from instructor

I am looking forward to meeting with you about designing this class. I will bring the syllabus and course files that I received from the prior instructor and Jane, the graduate assistant that helped with the last cohort for this class. I am stressing out about this class because I have never used an LMS before and only taught classes that meet weekly! Another faculty member told me that there was some conference tool or something that I could use to meet with the class during the month? They said I could record lectures or announcements? I am also worried that my students do not know much about all of these tools either! Some have expressed high levels of anxiety over the idea of taking distance courses. Thanks again for your help. Jane.
P.S. Disability support services called to let me know that we may have a hearing impaired student in the class.
