Instructional Design Project - ETEC-578
“There Are Three Responses To A Piece Of Design - Yes, No, And WOW! Wow Is The One To Aim For”—Milton Glaser
Introduction
For my ETEC-578 - Instructional Design & Development course, I learned to describe and define instruction and instructional design. I will also share the product of my knowledge and skills that I learned from this course with the following Instructional product utilizing the steps of an instructional design model. I learned in the course to prepare and conduct a needs assessment, learner analysis, context analysis, and instructional analysis, developing performance objectives, learning outcomes, assessment instruments, instructional strategies, instructional materials, and evaluation methods. I collected and organized all my design notes throughout the course through electronic journaling. I also conducted peer evaluation and provide constructive feedback to other instructional designs (both in progress and finalized) within my learning community and/or instructional design colleagues.
Reflection
As I reflect on this course’s experience for me, I remember learning the systematic approaches needed to design and develop instruction. During this course, we explored the phases of the instructional design process, including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, which stands for ADDIE. Following up on this course’s completion, I learned instructional design processes. I shared the final project I created through planning and creating a needs assessment, established performance objectives, and instructional strategies, with instructional methods and evaluation methods. I journaled my learning experience processes and journey each week through a digital blog online. In addition, I engaged in weekly peer reviews of my learning experiences and feedback, where I refined the instructional design process of my project and ultimately completed and published my final project. This learning process through my graduate work was necessary, thorough, and meaningful, and I will be able to now take this knowledge and skills with me and use them in my current academic work as well as my future personal and professional endeavors.
