STANDARD 4 MANAGEMENT                                              Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions to plan, organize, coordinate, and supervise instructional technology by applying principles of project, resource, delivery system, and information management.
4.1 Project Management                                                             Project management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling instructional design and development projects.
4.2 Resource Management                                                     Resource management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling resource support systems and services.	Digital Inequality Assignment (501) School Evaluation Summary (501)
4.3 Delivery System Management                                           Delivery system management involves planning, monitoring and controlling ‘the method by which distribution of instructional materials is organized’ . . . [It is] a combination of medium and method of usage that is employed to present instructional information to a learner.
4.4 Information Management                                               Information management involves planning, monitoring, and controlling the storage, transfer, or processing of information in order to provide resources for learning.	RSS Feeds Assignment (501) Learning Log Assignment (501)
STANDARD 5 EVALUATION                                                  Candidates demonstrate knowledge, skills, and dispositions to evaluate the adequacy of instruction and learning by applying principles of problem analysis, criterion-referenced measurement, formative and summative evaluation, and long-range planning.
5.1 Problem Analysis                                                                 Problem analysis involves determining the nature and parameters of the problem by using information-gathering and decision-making strategies.	School Evaluation Summary (501)
