Being an Instructional Designer requires you to be independent with your thinking and to rely on your reasoning even when dealing with theoretical perspectives and models. In this section, I will demonstrate how my problem selection in my Design Project was of interest to me and kept me motivated throughout the project.

Selecting the topic required me to think outside of the box. I personally wanted to select a small topic that was not easily detectible or not given enough attention in my workplace. Undoubtedly, this was beneficial since, in spite of its size, the small problem revealed to be significant that could cause detrimental effects to occur if it was not addressed. Since it was imperceptible and had no real impact on me as I have never had a substitute teacher work in my absence, it therefore required me to be introspective and to have deliberations with myself. I have tried to capture my thought process throughout this period. Select the artefact that follows to see my thought process and how I planned for the intervention. Additionally, explore my Design Project space to see the outcome of my strategy and motivation.
