Challenge 1: Create a plan for the dissemination and/or the diffusion of the interventions

Criteria for successful completion of this challenge: Criteria for successful completion of this challenge: Evidence of communicating (disseminating) the vision to stakeholders and/or achieve organizational-wide adoption (diffusion). Reflection must address: Explain why your plan for dissemination and diffusion is appropriate for the needs and culture of this organization.

Examples:  Solutions & Change Management (EDCI 528), final project (EDCI 564), full proposal and artifacts from practicum (EDCI 573), project foundations cases analysis (EDCI 633), and case analysis (EDCI 672), other means of communication showing potential design changes to current design (based on evaluation or implementation of instructional materials).

Reflection

To demonstrate the competency of creating a plan for the dissemination and/or diffusion of instructional interventions, I am submitting my Final Proposal from EDCI 573. The artifact outlines the dissemination and diffusion strategy for a self-paced online course titled Digital Sketching for Interior Designers: Perspective Techniques in Procreate, designed in collaboration with Scheer & Co. and my project supervisor Stephania Olivares. The proposal presents a thoughtful rollout and implementation plan tailored to the company’s collaborative and visually focused culture, establishing a clear connection between the learning solution and its long-term adoption within the organization.

The artifact supports the competency through its structured implementation approach. It describes how the course will be piloted internally with volunteer learners, using informal embedded forms for feedback. The course will be hosted in Articulate Rise to allow mobile-friendly, asynchronous access, with key support materials like job aids, reflection prompts, and downloadable assets. These tools reinforce the learning and encourage reuse of the module as an onboarding and upskilling solution. The design also reflects the needs of the target users—interior designers in a fast-paced firm—by emphasizing accessibility, creative alignment, and flexibility.

My prior experience developing instructional materials informed the way I approached this challenge. In earlier projects, I created small-scale interventions with limited planning for sustainability. This time, I prioritized long-term value by building in iterative review points and stakeholder involvement. Weekly check-ins with the SME helped align the course with team needs, and the pilot strategy allowed for adjustments based on learner feedback. This professional collaboration taught me how to center implementation within the organizational context from the outset, rather than treating it as an afterthought.

This experience confirmed that a strong diffusion plan is just as important as the instructional materials themselves. It helped me think more strategically about how instructional interventions live beyond initial deployment. In future projects, I plan to develop scalable, reusable content and consider stakeholders' needs early in the process. I will continue to gather informal data to adapt materials responsively and aim to create courses that integrate seamlessly into organizational routines and cultures.
