Last Face-to-Face Class

This is the last face-to-face class for Introduction to Instructional Technology. It has been an engaging semester and everyone has learned a lot. We began the semester with some trepidation but overcame it as our confidence increased. This class also introduced us to some of the key players in instructional technology along with an introduction to some learning theories. The next few courses will focus more on these two topics. My classmates in this course have inspired me to look at new ways to present information. I especially want to work with Movie Maker and other movie creation programs. This is a project I plan to work on over the semester break.

ADDIE
One of the learning theories we recently discussed was the ADDIE model.

The name ADDIE stands for the words:

Analysis- Analysis looks at the goals, objectives, needs and all other information pertinent to solving the problem.

Design-Design is the process used to work with the learning objectives. One can use storyboards and other planning methods to create how the learning presentation will look and feel.

Development-Development is producing a product with the materials and methods generated during the design process.

Implementation-Implementation puts the plan into action and begins the process of training/teaching.

Evaluation-Evaluation is the final phase of the ADDIE process. This phase is broken into two parts where the first part is evaluating each of the participants’ progress and the second learning how effective the instructional materials were.

Here are two links that summarize the ADDIE model.
