PURPOSE OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN (ID)Instructional Design (ID) is also known as Instructional Systems Design. It’s primary purpose is efficiency and effectiveness.

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN FROM ITS GENESIS

Additional information on the genesis of instructional design can be found here.

ADDIE MODEL OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN Analysis Design Development Implementation Evaluation

To learn what the ADDIE process is for instructional design, watch the following video.

ADDIE MODEL FOR INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN GRAPHIC

Additional information on this ADDIE graphic can be found here.

UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN

Identify desired results

Determine acceptable evidence

Plan learning experiences

and instruction

This concept is also known as Backwards Design.

• What is worthy of understanding?

• National Standards• State Standards• Local Standards• Teacher interest

• Enduring ideas• opportunities for

authentic work• Engaging

• What is the evidence of understanding?

• 6 facets of understanding

• Continuum of assessment types

• Valid• Reliable• Sufficient• Authentic work• Feasible

• What learning experiences will promote understanding and interest?

• Research-based repertoire of learning & teaching strategies

• Essential & enabling knowledge and skills

• Engage the students• Explore• Explain

RUBRICS AND ASSESSMENT IN ONLINE EDUCATION

• A rubric is a document that clearly articulates the expectations for an assignment.

• Students and teachers can use rubrics to clarify the standards for a quality performance.

RUBRICS AND COMMUNICATION IN ONLINE EDUCATION

• Rubrics improve online teaching, learning and retention in an online environment. Rubrics are the best way to clearly communicate the expectations.

• Rubrics will improve and enhance online education if they are created according to the Quality Matters standards.

QUALITY MATTERS

Quality Matters (QM) program includes:Faculty-centered, continuous improvement models for assuring the quality of online courses through peer review

Professional development workshops and certification courses for instructors and online learning professionals

Rubrics processes for applying quality standards to course design

QUALITY MATTERS RUBRIC & PROCESS

Quality Matters rubrics provide a framework for quality assurance.

QUALITY MATTERS RUBRIC PROCESSThe 8 general standards of the QM Rubric are as follows:

1. Course Overview and Introduction

2. Learning Objectives (competencies)*

3. Assessment and Measurement*

4. Instructional Materials*

5. Learner Interaction and Engagement*

6. Course Technology*

7. Learner Support

8. Accessibility

* These key components MUST align

ONLINE ACCESSIBILITY

To create accessible content, it is imperative to: Focus on clear structure and formatting Provide alternative text for images Do not utilize scanned PDF files, but

accessible PDFs Utilize an accessibility checker

AUDITORY AND COGNITIVE ELEARNING CHALLENGES FOR DISABILITIESeLearning challenges for someone with an auditory disability include:• Audio clips, videos without captioning or an accessible transcript• Any multimedia audio that is not also displayed via text.

eLearning challenges for someone with a cognitive disability include:• Timed tests and quizzes• Lack of clarity in instructions and information• Assignments that lack clear structure

MOTOR AND VISUAL ELEARNING CHALLENGES FOR DISABILITIESELearning challenges for someone with a motor disability include:• Inability to utilize a mouse or keyboard• Lengthy content that may be difficult to navigate

Elearning challenges for someone with a visual disability include:•Websites/documents that cannot be read by a screen reader• Images and text that become pixelated when enlarged• Formatting, images and colors used to convey content • Reading images in tables and other graphics

OER’s include:• Learning content including full courses, course

readings/other learning content, syllabi and textbooks• Tools include simulations, games/other learning

applications and quizzes/assessment tools• Implementation Resources include licenses to

promote open usage of materials and design principles
