An Exercise in Taking a Constructivist Approach to Rewriting an Instructional Design Course

INST 6800, Projects in Instructional Design

Brainstorming notes: real world design documents less reading go through partial ADDIE process to help focus on each step same project but different models in each group [E] - AD, switch, DI, switch, Evaluate just focus on Dick & Carey model

Plan: The purpose of this class is to provide a mentored environment that simulates real-world situations, with students working in groups to complete instructional projects. Three groups will work on three projects, with sections of the project rotating to each group throughout the semester. This should increase the quality and completeness of each phase, since the second group's Development and Implementation will be based on the Analysis and Design that the first group did. Likewise, by having a third group actually perform the Evaluation of the instruction, a more thorough and accurate report may be expected.

We actually start and end with Evaluation. At the beginning, we evaluate past semester projects to help gain a familiarity with the scope of the project and to know what their project will be subjected to at the end of the course. At the end we evaluate again so that feedback is received by the groups as to the quality of their work. Formative evaluations are performed as part of the implementation phase, with the evaluation by the last group being a summative evaluation.

Each week there will be reading for the topic that will be reviewed that day

* Week 1: Introduction to the class, view past projects, divide into 3 groups, overview of ADDIE * Week 2: Review Evaluation in class, evaluate past semesters projects during the week * Week 3: Present evaluation reports in class; finalize project topics * Week 4: Review Analysis in class, perform analysis during the week * Week 5: Work Day * Week 6: Review Design in class, perform design during the week * Week 7: Work Day * Week 8: Group members meet to hand off A.D. work to new team * Week 9: Review Develop in class, perform development during the week * Week 10: Review Implementation in class, perform development during the week * Week 11: Work Day * Week 12: Group members meet to hand off D.I. work to new team * Week 13: Review Evaluation in class again, perform evaluation during the week * Week 14: Work Day * Week 15: Present Evaluation of projects
