ISTE-L 4: Systems Designer

Purpose
This section focuses on designing or improving the systems that support learning—things like privacy workflows, data practices, infrastructure, and consistent tool use.

What you’ll find

• Quick maps of processes (e.g., how a project moves from draft to publish)

• Policies-in-practice: consent, privacy, and data minimization

• Notes on tool selection, onboarding, and support

Featured artifacts

• NC Digital Learning Initiative (CMS) evaluation findings applied as system tweaks

• Any course process docs I’ve created (rubrics, submission flows, template prompts)

How I’ll evaluate progress

• Fewer pain points for students (clear steps, fewer clicks, offline-friendly options)

• Consistent, repeatable workflows I can hand to another teacher

• Privacy and accessibility checks completed before publishing

Reflection prompts

• What step confuses students, and how can I redesign it?

• Where could a template or checklist remove friction?

• Did this system choice improve learning, or just add tech?

Access & openness

• Process visuals as PNG/PDF; brief captions so the system is easy to reuse
