Module 08 recap

This module looked at technology-based teaching and learning. (Download the slides from class)

For those interested in looking at the Pew Research Foundation findings, see http://www.pewinternet.org For a list of their reports. For some more specific ones:

I find it fascinating is to look at changes over time. (for those in FEA, this would be data you could use when doing environmental scanning.

Each year (since 2011), Fred Cazzava posts on the social media landscape. Each post includes a graphic view. You may be interested in looking at these and how they’ve changed over time, or not, as Fred mentions in 2017.

In-class Activity

During class we did a small group activity with four groups. Each group had a development context of Technology-based/enhanced learning.

(In-class activity handout)

For each development context, the group had to come up with an ISD model for that development context, then present their model. As part of the planning process, each group could choose a specific context to work through this activity.

Three groups presented, and three are left to present next week. 

Post-class follow-up

Frst, take a moment to reflect on the activity.

Also look back at the googledoc: A Comparison Of Traditional Modern Instructional Design. Do the additions in the far right column still make sense?

Then for any of the delivery-contexts from the in-class activity, reflect on your thoughts of how this context can make a difference how you may make a difference in your approach to the ID process. You add your thoughts to the googledoc: In Class Activity Reflection

Module 09

The next topic is about working in teams. Some of you have had a lot of experience working in teams. Others may have less experience. By now you should all have had some experience of being part of a project team in another IDE course.

One of the instructional design competencies identified by ibstpi is communications skills. This includes one-on-one communications skill and working with groups. Within the context of an ID or evaluation project, at some point you’ll likely have to work as part of some team, and you may take on different roles in different projects, including being a team leader. This week the reading focus on working in groups. As you go through these readings, think about the different roles people may have on an ID project. Also, what does it mean to be a team leader? The Evernote Notebook contains a number of readings:

  • Bratoon, B. (1980). The instructional development specialist as consultant. J.I.D., 3 (2), pp. 2-8.
  • Gemmill, G. Managing the dynamics of “having nothing to say” in small groups.
  • Chevalier, R. (2001). Performance Consulting: Job aids for interacting with clients. Performance Improvement.
  • Davies, I., K. (1975) Some Aspects of a Theory of Advice: Management of an Instructional Developer-Client, Evaluator-Client, Relationship. This reading is old, but worth a look.
  • One that is useful and in the Everrnote Notebook: Bolden, R (2004) What is Leadership? Research Report.

Module 08

This week we’re looking at e-learning context and new paradigms in ID. Readings for Module 8 are posted in blackboard.

Pre-class assignment:

  1. Review the chart shown at:
    The University of the Future, LLC. (2000). A Comparison of Traditional to Modern Instructional Design(http://www.futureu.com/shared_resources/traditional-vs-modern_course_design.pdf)
    This chart was developed in 2000. Changes technology and our understanding of learning influences the field of instructional design. I’ve added a 3rd column to the chart. After thinking about the current state of the field, what do you think has stayed the same, what has changed. Add in your responses to the googledoc linked here.
  2. Make sure you can define the following and list and describe attributes of each
    • MOOCs
    • Mobile Learning
    • Blended Learning

For those interested, I’ve created an Evernote notebook with some m-learning resources.

Module 07 – Recap

This past week was looking at Models, synthesizing the content to date. Dr. Jerry Edmonds came and spoke on Model building. You can download a copy of his slides here:  JerryEdmonds-PresentationSlides.

For those of you who were able to attend class, Dr. Edmonds spoke about model development. One example he gave was the model developed here at SU for program assessment. The early version is on page 11 of the PDF of his slides. The final version is on page 12.  From those two slides you can see there can be a dramatic difference between initial and final models. I was involved with the development of the documentation of the 3-circle model in 2015.

The current version used to explain the model to audiences is found at: http://assessment.syr.edu/assessment/academic-programs/

Module 06 – recap

This week the guest speaker was Dr. Don DeJohn. Don talked about his professional background and how his experience with large data warehouses fits within IDDE: Download a PDF of his slides.

In class we talked about using the CIPP model for planning for evaluation. We did not have time to do the in-class activity, so I posted the handout i the threaded discussion. This is a good module for evaluating training.Kirkpatrick’s model reminds you should consider:

  • Evaluation components .
  • Data collected should depend the component of the CIPP Model.
  • Think about what data can tell you about the worth or merit of a program.

 

I created to videos. The first is an introduction to the CIPP Evaluation Model, the second is looking at the Baldwin Middle School Case using the CIPP Model.
