IDT 5000: Instructional Design
Course Description:
This course applies instructional design process to develop instructional goals, objectives and assessment outcomes. The various elements of instructional design (ID) process, including needs assessment, instructional problems, learner characteristics, task analysis, instructional objectives, content sequencing, instructional strategies, instructional delivery, evaluation instruments, instructional resources (media selection), formative evaluation, and summative evaluation.
Instructor:
Dr. Tasha M. Brown
Course Reflection:
This course brought into focus for me several concepts in instructional design that I had inferred from my curricular and course development experiences but to which I had never formally been introduced. In addition, I learned several new processes and concepts, and was introduced to definitions and resources that will enhance the design and implementation of lessons I create in the future.
Through the series of course assignments, I explored and implemented the nine elements of the instructional design model described by Morrison, Ross, Kalman, and Kemp (2013). My focus in these assignments was a real-life instructional problem I was experiencing with my students in my own teaching: the need for additional instruction regarding using APA citations and reference pages as identified by my students and program instructors. Although not required to develop the instructional materials for this course, I used the assignments and process of my own learning to systematically and thoughtfully gather information and design instruction that ultimately I expect to use with my students. This experience helped me to determine where I had naturally adopted practices consistent with good instructional design, and what areas or steps I typically skipped due to lack of knowledge or bad habit. In designing my instruction in a systematic way from beginning to end, I could see the benefits of what I will be learning throughout this program and how it will positively impact my teaching and my students' learning.
