Instructional Design
Description of the Instructional Design
Course Web Site
This Web site is organized around a basic model of
instructional design. It is presented with relatively few graphics or
media elements, in order to minimize the time it will take to download
the pages. The PowerPoint presentations are an exception; use them if
you have a fast connection or don't mind waiting. Although we will not
perform every step in the instructional design model, we will follow it pretty closely.
The course home page is the place to go to gain access to all parts
of the course.
 | The top diagram is an "image map." Click on an box to go
to the main page for that step in the process. (See below for
information about what you will find there.) |
| There are several groups of links to other parts of the site:
| Several links explain more about how to take the course. |
| Several links go to other information relevant to the course. |
| Several links go to interactive elements such as a survey and the online discussion board. |
|
| At the bottom of the home page are text links to the parts of the
ID process. These duplicate the links in the diagram in case the
graphic doesn't display for some reason. |
Each component or step in the Instructional Systems Development
process has its own main page as well. This page has a brief description
of the component, followed by some links. These links take you to such
things as
| More information about the step and how to perform it. |
| Examples, if available, of the step in student projects. |
| PowerPoint presentations from previous classes on the step. Many
of these are narrated, so they are essentially mini-lectures that
you can view. |
| Interactive exercises to help you learn the concepts involved in
the step. |
| Case studies in doing the step, as available. |
| Anything else I can think of and produce that might help. |
(NB: I have not completed all the elements for all
the components. I am aware of the problem and am trying to add things as
I find the time.) |
