Chapter 4 of "ISD From the Ground Up" covers the first of five parts of the ADDIE model: Analysis. My notes from reading this chapter are pasted below.

In chapter 3 of "ISD From the Ground Up," we are given an outline of Instructional Systems Development. ISD, we learn, are the people, processes and products that support learning. Those who work within an ISD are teachers, counselors and administrators; anyone who supports a learning environment. Instructional Designers are responsible for seeing the broader picture and help to bring order to what can be a chaotic environment. The ADDIE model is an instructional system with five basic elements: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. In the analysis stage, instructional designers gather information about their project before making any other decisions. Once they have all of the necessary data to proceed, they can begin the work of designing a blueprint for the project. The design includes all necessary elements of the project including objectives, resources and content.
Plans can then be tested and all necessary materials produced for the project. Development is the production of lecture notes, print media, digital media, etc. Prior to full implementation of a project, the project or lesson should be tested so that one can be certain that produced materials are adequate and appropriate for the project. In implementation, the design is delivered to the learner. Evaluation is a part of this step, to the degree that we gauge the level with which the learners met the desired objectives. Evaluation is a part of each step in the development of instruction. It is the check we place upon ourselves to ensure that we are focused on our goals throughout the process. There are inherent strengths and weakness in every instructional system. Hard work is required to make any system successful while a lack of planning will sabotage even the best of intentions. An investment of time and expertise is required for successful instructional design. The evidence of hard work and planning are evidenced by the level of learning attained by the students. This week we learned about building ePortfolios using Weebly. Since I already have my site built, I worked on my pages on this site to train teachers and students in building websites and ePortfolios. I also worked on the home page of this site and added a clearer and more engaging vision statement: "Learning to integrate technology into classroom instruction is a process, not an end. The goal is to keep learning, experimenting and reflecting. This site is a place for me to share my education technology experiences." |
