Instructional Design Project Reflection
In this course of LDT 502-Design and Development of Instruction,
the process of creating an instructional design was challenging. The process
and revisions allowed us to implement the expectations of our professor. We
were given feedback to develop a thorough step by step process for our target learners
to follow. In doing so, we were able to provide a better understanding of our project
content. The revision would also allow our learners to understand the instructional
objective. We also had to include diverse ways of differentiating the content
for learners. We had videos to share how to download DaVinci Resolve, to edit, export, and embed content to meet the
expectations of our viewers. Being able to create clear instructions is important
so that target learners do not get confused. We had to remember that effective,
efficient, and engaging instruction helps to motivate our target learners.
The goals of the outline, after making the revisions needed,
allowed for a better flow of the content being shared. We had to create an assessment
to collect data for our target learners. In reviewing the assessment, this
would allow us to see if learners were learning what we wanted them to learn,
while the instruction ensures that they have learned it. If there is alignment,
then target learners can better understand the relevance of their work. This allows
them to see the value of their work. The step of Instructional design is assessing
learners needs, development of content, implementation, and evaluation. Having
a deep understanding of instructional design process is a critical skill for
learning designers because without it, creating targeted, effective learning experiences
can be difficult if not impossible. This is shared in unit 1 module. Instructional
design is viewed as an iterative design process that emphasizes cycles of
continuous improvement and redesign.
The delivery of the instructional design was clarified with
the use of Learning Management Systems using issued university laptops.
An objective will communicate your intent to the degree you
describe what the learner will be doing when demonstrating achievement of the
objective, the important conditions of the achievement of the objective, the
important conditions of the doing, and the criterion by which achievement will
be judged.
Just as it was stated
in module three, Instructional objectives are a foundational component in the
design and development of effective instruction and if you think of the instruction
you are designing as a “learning journey.” This is what our group had to keep in
mind when we created the step-by-step process for our project. It allowed me to
reflect on how I would understand what I was doing in the realm of a learner.
Group B had to collaborate and meet to share our ideas and revise
a better flow of our instructional design for Beginners to create media using
DaVinci Resolve. We had to come to a consensus of putting our content together and
sharing our ideas. At first, we did not collaborate and agree with one another,
but we came to an agreement. As we continuously met, we were able to share our strengths
with one another. This allowed us to have a better flow of implementing what
was needed.
The use of LMS has increased in recent years. When instructional
media is shared through LMS, it is easily accessible for learners at their
desired time and place. It does not have to be in a standard classroom setting.
It has become more relevant and manageable with the help of ITs if any type of troubleshooting is needed.
According to Rottmann et al. (2020), No matter the delivery
method, an LMS is supposedly designed to foster learner-centered approaches
with integrated learning activities grounded in learning objectives making it
the most advanced tool for facilitating learning.
I reflect to not knowing much about learning design and its
elements in education. I remember having to do a crash course on how to utilize
technological platforms to create engaging activities and lessons for students
during the pandemic. Having experienced what we have endured during that time made
me understand the importance of gaining more knowledge about learning design
and technology in education. I investigated the program at Arizona State
University and decided to further my understanding of this program. I want to
be effective in gaining new knowledge to apply my teachings in the world of
education. The knowledge I obtain will help me to better educate the learners
for the future. It is crucial to obtain knowledge in the technological realm of
education.
The experience of collaborating with a group to develop an
instructional course gave me insight into what expectations are acquired. This
allowed me to have practice and firsthand experience with what is entailed in
learning design. I look forward to implementing and learning more about building
the necessary skills acquired to meet the needs of all students and stakeholders.
It was a revelation. With more practice, I should be able to
take my teaching to a deeper level of teaching.
I appreciate all that were a part of this experience and look
forward to expanding my knowledge in learning design and technology in
education. I am appreciative of our professors that took the time to
differentiate ways of teaching me to better understand the contents in this
program.
Thank you with my deepest appreciation.
