Fundamental Instructional Design
         Principles
Design


The module is comprised of autonomous tasks with a low level of guidance. Problem solving is
expected in the learning of design, where authentic tasks are used for writers to explore design
aspects in the real world.
The learning outcomes attempt to support content writers with little or no understanding of the
integration of content into a learning environment. The key concepts of instructional design in the
context of executive education are applied through learner engagement including
Reading, choosing, describing, reflecting, planning, investigation and inquiry.
A new eLearning module is being developed for the Australian
                    Institute of Company Directors.
  The problem       The challenge being addressed is to design a module which
opportunity being   provides training in the fundamental principles of instructional
   addressed        design to subject matter contributors/writers for the AICD
                    who have little or know background in education.

                    New research into designing for industry suggests that adults
                    enjoy working in groups. Modules which are self paced do not
                    allow for this. It is suggested to develop a community of
                    practice for new designers to collaborate.

 and how they will     The benefit to the learner will be in
      benefit          gaining understanding of the
                       fundamental principles in
                       Instructional design. The benefit to
                       the clients, will be in a design that
                       AICD may wish to use in future as well
                       as a current methodology used in
                       industry which is research based.
How the training is
currently delivered   The Currently, my guess would be that the training is
                                 through face to face support.

                              The module will also address methods for learners to
                              use reflective practice during the development of the
                              project.

Editor's Notes

  • #9 In the design of this learning object, the principles of adult learning are followed.Adults need to know why they are learning something, particular they should be told how it affectsAdults have a life time of learning and use honds on problem solving approaches to learningAdults want to apply new knowledge and skills immediately. Retention decrease if the learning is applied only someTime in the future.Objectives should be set for the course in areas of knowledge, skills and attitudes.How you are going to assess the courseOverview of the course content before the learner startsAn explanation of how the learner works their way through the course contentThe course content, including text and mediaA review of the content following completion of the course.Any assessments, whether integrated into the course or at the completion of the course3Help with using the courseOpportunity for the learner and instructor to provide feedback.
  • #10 While there are many ways to prepare a script that contains all of the information required by a programmer to put together the e-learning course, the following template contains the basics. It can be modified and expanded as required. Remember also when preparing a script for e-learning, that it should be written in such a way that a non-programmer also can understand its content. This allows all stakeholders to use the script to assess the e-learning course before programming commences.Introduction• What is the title of the e-learning course?• What is the general purpose of the e-learning course?• Who are the stakeholders?• Who are the learners?• What are the specific outcomes of the e-learning course?• Overview of how the course is designed (this could be a flowchart or description of how the course is organised).• The general style and look and feel of the course (will it be photographic or cartoon style, for example).• What are the assessment requirements, and how will these be met?• What are the record-keeping requirements, and how will these be met?• The specification document that defines the project specifications and deliverables should be referred to.For each screen• What is the purpose of the screen? A brief description helps programmers to understand the screen and the way the learner interacts with it.• What text appears on screen?• What graphics are associated with the screen?• What audio and video elements are associated with this screen?• What interactivity is associated with this screen? This includes listing all buttons on the screen, and the consequences of the learner clicking each.• How will the screen look? This may be a description of the appearance of the screen, noting the location of each element. Or it may be a storyboard view, a sketch of the screen indicating the locations of each element.

That is, there are checks on how well the user has understood the content as they progress through the course, and the user has to do more than just read content on screen.q The course content is easy to navigate.q The amount of content on each screen is easily read, and there is not too much text on each screen (no more than about one screen of text).q There is appropriate use of media to support the text.q There will be no problems programming the content.  
  • #17 Preparing content for e-learningThe following general steps are involved in preparing the content for an e-learning course:determine the objectives and outcomes for the course. Elsewhere in this Practical guide is information about creating instructional objectives.summarise the main topics for the content and arrange the content into an educationally sound sequenceapply instructional design to the content. This includes determining how units of the content will be assessed, what scaffolding the learners will need, and how the learners will progress through the content. It also includes breaking the content into manageable units for the learner. Sometimes called modules or units, these are discrete segments of work that accomplish specific objectives. They help the learner to access the content easily, and to see which parts of the course they have completed as they progressbrainstorm learning activities based on the content sequence. Try separating the theory from the practice and make the practice an interactive exercise. Put the theory into learner support and scaffolding, and rather than state facts, turn the facts into questionswrite the body of the content. It is important to ensure that the language level is appropriate for the learner community. Make sure that the content is chunked in amounts that fit comfortably onto a single screen. Minimise the use of jargon and acronyms, or at least explain them when their use is unavoidable. Use a style guide to have consistency in your writing. The Australian Government Style Manual [Style Manual, 6th edition, John Wiley and Sons] is a good fall-back if there is no corporate style guidemake sure the content is divided into units that comfortably fit on one screen. This process is called chunking. While it is possible to scroll through text, scrolling can make the learning cumbersomedetermine what media will be required to support the learning content and assemble the media in a way that will support the learning contentdecide how the learner will navigate through the content. Will the learner have complete freedom to navigate anywhere within the content, or will they be directed on specific paths? Will assessments be barriers to progress?determine what will be able to be printed or downloaded by the learner. This affects decisions about how the course will be delivered.
