In class last week we participated in a project brainstorming exercise. The purpose was to develop an outline and way of thinking about the design plan. The questions students addressed on the blog were:
- Who is the Subject Matter Expert, or SME, on my project? (Elaborate.)
- Who is the Target Audience? (Elaborate.)
- What model of instructional design seems most appropriate for my project and why? (B&G p. 2-20)
- What perspectives on learning will likely be addressed - cognitive, behavioral, constructivist - and why? Give specific examples. (B&G p. 22-37)
- What strategy will I use to conduct a needs analysis? What products will be created to show I have conducted a full needs analysis? (B&G p. 40-55)
- What approach will I use to conduct a task analysis? What products will be created to show that I have conducted a full task analysis? (B&G p. 57-69)
If you found complications here it may indicate the need to look for another project, or to reposition your idea. I look forward to reviewing your draft proposals. See the syllabus for the due date and expectations for the draft and the final design proposal.
