The Demonstrate chapter of Real World Instructional Design: An Interactive Approach to Designing Learning Experiences resonates with me. Two projects come to mind as I read this chapter. Readability Specifications on page 307 (Cename, 2019) reminds me of an important project I worked on a few years ago. Healthcare employees are required to complete an […]
As this semester ends, I reflect on what I have learned and experienced. The quote that stands out for me is during a conversation with a good friend of mine. “Instructional design is systematic. If the design is solid, it should work.” We have received information that will provide tools for success in human performance. […]
The most crucial readings from this unit are Chapter 10 and 11 from Cennamo and Kalk, where they discuss the demonstrate, develop, and deliver phases. Chapter 10 is the Demonstrate phase while chapter 11 covers development and deliver. These phases tell you how you’ll interact with your client, SME’s, and users. Once a project has […]
Reflection Paper 3 7:15PM Fall 2019 Jonathan Pratt During the last few weeks of class, my reading has mostly been in relation to the final project. Several times I have returned to Cennamo and Kalk’s Real World Instructional Design as I and my group members have worked to ensure alignment between evaluation […]
As we approach the end of the semester and progress through our final group projects, the reading that I have been revisiting more frequently is chapter 6 about evaluation in Cennamo and Kalk’s Real World Instructional Design. Because of the iterative nature of the design process, evaluation is an important element of the process for […]
As we approach week 11 in the course, the material has been making more connections within the course to the readings and activities. The topics that I have been reflecting on more frequently throughout the semester as I learn more about what it means to be an Instructional Designer are the instructional analysis class activity […]
The readings we have done over the past months, have been very helpful and inciteful to me. The processes have been illustrated in great detail. I am compiling a very useful toolkit of reference material that I can use in my daily work life. I find the lists, charts and tables very helpful. I begin […]
Before I began this class, I had some experience in instructional design. I had spent about a year as the primary designer, iteratively creating curriculum for an ESL school in Taiwan. My curriculum was successful and is still in use today. I have always been proud of the structure I designed, because it was […]
There were three key concepts that stood out; the ADDIE Framework, the Phases of Instructional Design, and the ASC Cycle. The ADDIE Framework is a framework that all instructional design has to abide by. The Phases of Instructional Design is a method to practice instructional design. The ASC cycle reminds instructional designers that collaboration is […]
The reading that stood out in my mind the most was the History of Instructional Design. I had no idea instructional design started during WWII and I feel like the K-12 system has failed me by an alarming degree. History books never taught us how all those soldiers were trained or what they were trained […]
