2. Streamlined ID
Practice Optimized ID
Design materials that have the potential
to be used in multiple applications.
Recycle, rehash, or revise previous
instructional materials as opposed to
creating an entirely new block of
instruction. Consider designs that
require the least amount of effort to
change for the greatest effect.

3. Kemp – Chp 1
The ID approach considers instruction
from a learners perspective as opposed
to from a content perspective
When using ID, one considers the
readiness of each student and which
specific methods or strategies could be
best tailored to their unique needs.
This method differs from the traditional
curriculum based design in that it starts
with addressing learner needs and finds
supports help them reach learning
objectives. Curriculum based design
starts with specific content and tries to
tailor it to the class as a whole.

4. Doolittle
Instructional Media – 3 criteria for
adoption
• Practicality: Is the media readily
available, cost/time efficient, and
understandable?
• Student Appropriateness: Is the
media suitable for the student
audience in developmental and
experiential terms?
• Instructional Appropriateness: Is
the media going to mesh well with
the planned course of instruction?
Does the media correlate with
achieving learning objectives?
