Course Description
 |
| Designing
learning experiences for professionals is very different
from lesson planning for K-12 students. Learn to analyze
professional development needs, select appropriate instructional
strategies, translate those strategies into products,
and evaluate the quality of your work. The ISD approach
produces quality training programs, whether you work
for a multi-national corporation or a local school district.

Course Reflection
|
| This
was an intense but highly productive eight week body
of work. While building knowledge of instructional design
through readings and case studies, we were simultaneously
going through the complete design process for a technology
related instructional training course. This sounded overwhelming
at first, but it was approached through a backward design
process that facilitated successful completion. Beginning
with the project proposal, I determined the need in my
own district for teacher training in Web site creation.
By establishing learning system goals and completing
the corresponding assessments, the need for this training
was verified. Generating a specific plan for learning
objectives and assessments provided the outline for training
content and formative evaluations. Creating a scenario in which to situate and launch learning provided the component necessary
to
anchor this
training
opportunity in participants’ reality. The instructional
strategies and implementation plan required purposeful
planning that will streamline facilitation of this training
as well as ensure that it is rooted in best instructional
practices. Having the plan undergo formative evaluation by two reviewers
definitely confirmed the need for this project in our
district and validated the learning strategies and goals
for the instructional design. My complete Professional
Development Plan for Researching, Planning, and Creating
Original Classroom Web Sites will facilitate more equitable
access to technology resources for teachers and students
alike.
I
have provided multiple professional development sessions,
but this course has equipped me to approach
any new training opportunity with a proven process for
designing an effective instructional system. |
