The Department of Education has released an Ed Tech Developer’s Guide (download the pdf here). The document attempts to identify “opportunities” for resources that will have an impact (evidently there is a concern that designers tend to limits their efforts to providing information). In addition to identifying the opportunities, the guide attempts to make the case for why each opportunity is important. There are a few examples and guidelines explaining student privacy issues.
This might be a useful document for students interested in graduate instructional design programs. Some of the design processes are simplistic unless you are a tech type with little exposure to instructional design, but an examination of the document offers useful links for even experienced ed tech types. As far as I can tell, this is not a document guiding government funded work. The assumption seems to be that there are “edupreneurs” out their who would benefit from a more productive focus.
