Instructional Design of a Highly Effective Blended Learning Course with Group...Susumu Yamazaki
This case study describes a course on software modeling using Unified Modeling Language (UML) at the University of Kitakyushu. The course has two main features: (1) numerous step-by-step exercises that target the intellectual skills needed to read and write UML diagrams, to ensure that learners acquire these skills; and (2) the use of group discussion to evaluate selected software models described by the learners, to ensure that they understand the concepts related to software modeling. The design was based on Suzuki’s Instructional Design Manuals and implemented as a blended learning course using Moodle. The assessment results are as follows. (1) Sixty-nine out of 72 learners passed the intellectual skills test. The learners’ responses supported our instructional strategy for teaching the skills. (2) The learners’ responses supported the effectiveness of the group discussion. In future work, we will seek to improve the effectiveness of our course by (1) improving the efficiency of instruction for the intellectual skills and (2) redesigning the instructional strategy for the group discussion.
Application of Workshop-based Instruction to Guide Project-based Research Lea...Susumu Yamazaki
We apply workshop-based instruction to a tutorial on project-based research learning on environmental problems for approximately 280 first-year undergraduate students. Its instructional design is to read the manuals and record activities and issues; to categorize them according to the eight essential points of project-based learning; and
to share the results with teams nearby. Assessment results show this workshop is effective for team project-based research learning.

Our instructional design of a learning unit “How a computer works” using the Role Playing Workshop approach succeeded in facilitating intuitive comprehension and driving motivation, because the students enjoyed the workshop and they gained confidence, according to the assessment by a survey of 60 students.

Instructional Design of Exercise-Centric Teaching Materials on UML ModelingSusumu Yamazaki
We have developed an instructional program for teaching literacy in the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling software at the University of Kitakyushu.
In this paper, we show the instructional design of our teaching materials for the literacy and assess their effectiveness.
Our strategies include three levels of instruction, each with numerous step-by-step exercises: 10 basic patterns of UML notation at level 1; composition of the notation at level 2; and creating UML system diagrams at level 3.
We assess students achievement based on a rubric. Our teaching materials are effective.
