This course focuses on the utilization of design principles to
effectively communicate instructional and professional materials

3. ED T C 524 Instructional D esign & D evelopment:
A nalysis & D esign
In this course, EDTC524, we will review all the phases of ADDIE
model, but will focus on the Analysis and Design phases to design
a lesson plan that could be linked to a bigger idea that fosters
learning at a global level. The resulting lesson plan may or may
not necessarily become the content of your GLP.
During these two initial phases of the ADDIE process, we will use
the Backwards Design planning tool, which offers a methodology
for designing learning that is more specifically geared toward the
development of learning for K-12 classrooms.

4. ED T C 523 Educational A pplications of
H ypermedia: D evelopment

In subsequent coursework you will move in to the
Implementation and Evaluation phases of ADDIE.
