Description
This course addresses problems in systematically applying educational media technology to instruction and learning. Includes selecting appropriate modes of instruction based on clearly defined objectives, organization of instructional configurations, and media implementation. Three [3.0] units. Prerequisite: EDIT 188.

Overview
This seminar provides an introduction to instructional design principles and techniques. During the course various instructional design models will be examined, but focus is primarily on the Kemp design model and instructional planning procedures. The major requirement is completion of an instructional design project—including a needs assessment, instructor materials, and participant materials—that addresses an instructional problem chosen by the student. Instructional strategies for class time include lecture, instructor- and student-led discussion, small-group activities, and student presentations.
 

Required Textbooks

NOTE: Each student is expected to have completed the assigned readings before class and to be prepared to discuss the key points in class, as well as participate in small-group activities based on the session topic.

Instructional Goal
Students will design, produce, evaluate and revise a 30-60 minute unit of print-based, face-to-face instruction for learning and performance in corporate or academic settings by employing the procedures described in the course text, Designing Effective Instruction, and in general, by applying the theories, principles, and systematic techniques of instructional systems design.
 

Instructional Objectives

At the completion of this course, students will be able to:

Analysis & Theory

  • Compare instructional technology (IT), instructional systems design (ISD), and educational system design (ESD).

  • Identify the four fundamental elements of the instructional design process.
  • Describe the three established learning theories and their relationship to the development of instruction.
  • Identify an instructional problem.
  • Develop a plan for acquiring sufficient data to assess needs, given your chosen problem scenario.
  • Define triangulation and identify data collection techniques.
  • Create and administer a survey or questionnaire as part of the needs analysis process.
  • Conduct a brief needs analysis and report findings in presentation and report format.
  • Describe essential learner characteristics to consider when designing instruction.

Design and Development

  • Analyze instructional goals and conduct a task analysis.
  • Write measurable learning objectives that include an audience, behavior, statement of conditions, and assessment criteria (Mager-style) in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.
  • Classify objectives according to BloomÕs Taxonomy.
  • Describe six or more established principles of learning.
  • Describe instructional strategies appropriate for teaching facts, concepts, rules, principles, and processes within the cognitive, affective or psychomotor domains.
  • Sequence a unit of instruction.
  • Describe a variety of instructional resources and media and appropriate conditions for their use.
  • Determine appropriate format for instructional activities and materials.
  • Determine appropriate uses of testing and pre-testing.
  • Develop instructional activities for a 30-60 minute unit of instruction for instructor and learners that demonstrates competent instructional strategies and principles.

Implementation and Evaluation

  • Describe support services required to implement an instructional program.

  • Describe basic project management techniques
  • Describe techniques for conducting one-to-one and small group formative evaluations.
  • Develop brief formative evaluation plan and/or attitudinal questionnaire for the final project.
  • Develop the purposes and process of a summative evaluation.
  • Identify Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Evaluation and describe the appropriate context for use.
  • Implement a 30-60 minute unit of instruction.
 

General Course Structure

The course has three basic components:

1) Lecture/Discussion:     Presentation of course content in lecture mode supplemented with PowerPoint presentations and facilitated discussion. Presentations and all course materials are available to download from the course website (http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/it/edit226).

2) Guided Practice and Case Discussion: In-class group activities provide you with the opportunity to apply the principles of instructional design in realistic situations under the direction of the instructor. Guided practice activities will not be graded; however, you are expected to participate.
     
Case discussions, like guided practice, are based on real world problems presented at the beginning of each chapter in the Morrison text, titled Getting Started. Read the case for each chapter as assigned and be prepared to answer the questions in small group and class forums.

3)  Applied Project: The Front End Analysis Report and the final ISD Project are individual projects and require that you apply the principles of instructional design that have been demonstrated and practiced in class. The course assignments are significant parts of these two projects. As you complete each one, you are building the core parts of the project. In fact, the Front End Analysis project is nearly half of the required work that goes into the final ISD Project.

How to submit course work

Reflective summaries are due in paper form at the beginning of each class.

Assignments numbered 1-6 are due by email attachment (MS Word files) by the due date. Please submit your assignments following this scheme for email subject and file naming:
