Instructional Design System
·
Analysis
o
Analyze content to identify the specific skills that
are involved in the task or to identify performance that would demonstrate
mastery of subject matter.
o
Identify characteristics of the learner and the learning
environment, and to find out what these students need to know if they are to be
able to perform the desired behavior.
·
Design
o
Learning objectives – the required performance
of the students as a result of the course and each of its components.
o
Consists of a behavior, the conditions under
which it should be evaluated, and a criterion for its measurement.
·
Development- designers and producers create the
instructional material that communicate what is needed for achieving the learning
objectives. (webpages, film, study guides, books, audio tapes, teleconferences)
·
Implementation - register, instructional
materials are delivered, and they interact with their instructors and perhaps
other students
·
Evaluation –The results of this formative
evaluation can lead to intervention to change the analysis, design, or
development procedures; but mainly it leads to changes in implementation.
Ah-Ha Moment
In module 4, we discussed the similarities and differences between designing and delivering a distance education course and a face to face course. Unlike a distance education course, the designing and delivering of a face-to-face course is mostly independent of a system. DE courses take a team approach to course development. It was interesting to discover how organizations that utilize the Instructional System Design (ISD) have such an advantage over organizations that do not have the same opportunity. Time, training, funding and organizational structure can prevent teachers from taking advantage of the ISD.Reference

Hi Renee,
ReplyDeleteMost of the training that I've done has been face-to-face. I primarily flew solo when developing the training. However, once complete, I do share those presentations with others for feedback and/or review. Over the past few weeks, I've had to work on instructional design for a team project that required us to develop an on-line training portal. Although we had a team, it seems like everyone was flying solo. There was a kick-off meeting; however, communications was very poor. No timeline or milestone was set. I can't imagine how I would react if this were to happen in the workplace.
What I've learned is that whether DE or F2F, you have to follow the same standard framework for a project i.e. kick-off meeting, assign roles/tasks, set milestones, etc. Working within a group doesn't mean less work. I think it means a greater amount of resources can be pooled, which could enhance the overall quality of work.
