An Introduction To Instructional Design: Online Learning Institute
A systematic process
For analyzing, developing, designing, implementing, and evaluating instructional materials and activities
Research and theory about instructional strategies The process for developing and implementing these strategies
Phase 1 -- Analyze
Course Content
Teaching/Learning Interface
Phase 1 Analyze
Specific Outcomes:
Phase 2 -- Design
Detailed, clear descriptions of what the learner will be able to do Measurable Observable
Phase 2 Design
Identify the tasks that the student should be able to perform prior to instruction
Is the knowledge learned in sequential blocks, does it need to be linear? Is the content complex - requiring demonstration? Will pre-tests, unit post-tests, and end-of-course tests reinforce learning?
Phase 3 -- Development
Phase 3 -- Development
Phase 3 -- Development
Augment direct instruction Use discovery, active, guided learning Build in peer interaction
Phase 4 -- Implementation
Pathway
Process
Do materials adequately present the content? Do activities apply new knowledge to real-life? Opportunity for collaboration, interaction? Are tutorials necessary? Is practice offered to master objectives? Teacher presence Peer Interaction
Support
Communication
Phase 5 -- Evaluation
Measures the effectiveness of instruction Formative evaluation
Takes place during course delivery Purposed to support knowledge acquisition before summative evaluation.
Summative evaluation
Use formative and summative evaluations to pinpoint weaknesses Use student feedback, successes and failures
It is a positive step to meet student needs Each revision will reflect improvement.
