Putting it all Together
In this module you will:
- Appreciate the rich resources the Internet has to offer for proper use of technology integration
- Explore the challenges of effectively integrating technology into the school setting and curriculum
- Link knowledge of teaching styles, student learning styles, and the technology resources for creating curriculum and instructional activities and assessments
The Final Plan
You are now at the end of the instructional design process you began at the beginning of the course. Throughout the duration of this course you:
- Learned about the systematic process of instructional design.
- Identified, researched, and analyzed research-based instructional strategies.
- Defined a need you wanted to address with instruction.
- Wrote an appropriate, feasible, and clearly stated goal statement.
- Analyzed your goal statement to write objectives.
- Analyzed your learners and the learning contexts.
- Created assessment items to help you determine if your instruction is successful.
- Developed an instructional strategy detailing how you will present your instruction to the learners.
- Described how you would go about developing and delivering your instruction.
- Described procedures for conducting a formative evaluation of your instruction.
The last thing you will do in this course is to compile all of the pertinent parts of your Instructional Design project into one big comprehensive design plan. Mainly, this will involve cutting and pasting from your previous documents to create a final plan. However, the important thing to remember is that this report should contain all revisions you have made to earlier parts of the project. These revisions may have been based on the feedback you received, or any changes you made on your own. You do not need to go back and submit each revised individual part of the project, but your final plan should contain the "finished product" from each of these parts. This is your chance to bring it all together in a finished form.
You will also need to answer the final reflection forum.
Students in the Educational Technology Program will need to upload this final plan into LiveText for final assessment.
