The Steps in Great
Instructional Design
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 20
Step 1: Decide on the Course Objectives
Synonyms for “Course Objectives”:
“Educational Competencies”;
“Learning Outcomes”;
“Learner Outcomes”
• “At the end of the course, learners will [know] [be able to]
[value]…”
• What knowledge, skills and attitudes will learners have at the
successful completion of your course?

Example of Course Objectives:
“In this MBHE overview course you will gain a basic understanding of the dynamic and inextricable
interaction of the brain, mind, and body with the environment and the implications of this interaction on
health, development, and learning. We will:
• Explore the dynamic interplay of genes and environment.
• Examine how the brain develops from the prenatal period through adulthood, including the
dynamic development of the mind and brain.
• Highlight the dramatic role supportive environments can play in development and well- being.
• Learn about brain research tools including neuroimaging.
• Consider the impact of health, including protective and risk factors (e.g., physical activity, toxic
stress), on development, learning, and well-being and the potential of neuroplasticity.
• Translate key course teachings into each student's’ own personal and
• professional practice.
“The overarching goal is to demonstrate how MBHE principles apply to individuals at all developmental
stages through varied life circumstances as well as to enhance professional interventions.”

Step 2. Decide on the Topic Order
Some designers replace “Topic Order” for:
“Curriculum”;
“Syllabus”;
“Weekly topics”
• “At the end of the week, students will have the pre-requisite
knowledge for the following week’s topic…”
• What is the logical order of topics that builds off a neuroconstructivist
trajectory of learning?

If you will do a “real” flipped class,
you have choices to make…
• What should be flipped?
• NOT everything!
• What is the best use of the face-to-
face time?
• There is value and importance to direct,
explicit instruction: But where is its place?
• Hands-on activities?
• Inquiry or problem-based focus?
• Practice?
• Pedagogy first, Technology second
• Technology should support educational
goals, not visa versa.
If you will do a “real” flipped class,
you have choices to make…
• Use Bloom as a guide:
• Video, Internet instruction (“Googleable knowledge”) is best used at the
“bottom” of Bloom
• But start at the top! Get students interested in the “big ideas” and use videos to
help them fill in their gaps.
Anderson, L. W. & Krathwohl, D. R. (Eds.) (2001). A taxonomy for learning, teaching, and assessing: A revision of Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. New York, NY: Longman.
Ask one question…
• What’s the best use of face-to-face time?
• Lecturing?
• Helping one, two or small groups of kids?
• Reviewing?
• OR
• Experimenting, using, applying,
hypothesizing…
• Examples:
Use videos to go over the answer sets to
questions.
Core concepts which might need repetition or
which different kids will need different things.

Step 5. Based on the pre-class slides,
record the pre-class video
Some designers replace “Pre-Class Video” for:
“Flipped video”;
“Video”;
“Weekly video”
• “At the end of the viewing my pre-class video, learners will [know]
[be able to] [value]…”
• What is the best use of my synchronous time? How can I flip my
class to spend more time doing deeper learning with my students?

Example of Live Class Protocol
Open 10-15 minutes before official start time.
• Begin by greeting people as the enter.
• Use people’s names as much as possible.
• Ask them how they are doing to transition from
“other” needs into the class.
• Engage in short dialogues, class-related or
otherwise (let students drive the choice)
• If students have class related comments, use
these to transition into the day’s topics.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 53
Makethestudentsfeelimportantand

Example of Live Class Protocol
At the official start of the class:
• Announce you will begin recording (start recording).
• Thank people for arriving on time and for making
space in their day for the class.
• Get everyone to turn on their cameras (or ask them
to explain why they can’t).
• Ask everyone to be sure their name appears as they
would like to be addressed.
• Ask everyone to say hello in the chat and respond to
a simple question of the day to register attendance.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 54
Createawelcomingenvironment
Example of Live Class Protocol
Clarify Objectives of the Day:
• Explain and display the objectives of the day.
• Ask students if they would like to add anything to
the agenda by writing in concerns, doubts or
questions into the chat.
• The first agenda item should always be “Your
Questions and Ideas” from the Discussion Board,
complimented by information from the chat.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 55
Students’agendainparallel

Example of Live Class Protocol
Typical order: 1. Start with students’ ideas:
• Begin by reviewing specific students’ Discussion
Board replies, grouped by patterns of response.
• Choose replies that show a pattern, highlight a
problem, or which stimulated an enthusiastic
concern.
• Call on one or two students for each point and ask
them to elaborate on their thinking.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 56

Example of Live Class Protocol
Typical order: 2. Dig deep into one or two ideas
• Pick one or two “big ideas” from the pre-class
video you want to go into more deeply.
• Contextualize information; remind students of key
vocabulary and concepts from pre-class video.
• Use breakout rooms for small group discussion of
the big ideas. Be sure and use specific prompts for
breakout room discussions (e.g., “I think… I see… I
wonder…”) to channel ideas.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 57
Usesmallgrouplearningtogive

Example of Live Class Protocol
Typical order: 2. Share in the larger group
• Upon returning from the breakout rooms, call on
someone. Ask who they were with to get people
to know each others’ names. Ask them what
happened in their small group and what answers
they had to the prompt.
• Repeat this step until the entire group has shared
through a representative.
• Ask if anyone wants to add more ideas that were
not yet covered. Call on them or invite them to
write in the chat.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 58

Example of Live Class Protocol
Typical order: 3. Depth over breadth
• Remember that flipping means more depth, not
necessary more breadth.
• Avoid adding too many new ideas in the live class.
Remember, this synchronous time should be devoted
to helping students any needed clarifications and to
see the application of the pre-class video concepts in
their own lives.
• Let the students lead. Learners generally know what
they need. Ask them what they need and respond
accordingly.

• Before ending the class, summarize and contextualize.
• Offer a quick, one-minute review of what was done
during the synchronous meeting.
• Make reference to specific examples shared by
students in the summary.
• Explain what this information means in the larger
context of the course.
• Preview the next class’ content.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 62

Example of Live Class Protocol
Typical order: 6. Reflect
• Use the last five minutes of the class for a 3-2-1
Reflection:
• Three things you didn’t know before the class
• Two things you are curious and want to know more
about.
• One thing you will change in your personal or
professional life based on the information shared.
• Use the Reflection as part of the participation
grade.
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 63
Offertimetomentallydigestideas
Example of Live Class Protocol
Typical order: 7. Loose Questions
• End on time. Tell students that in honor of their time and busy lives,
class is finished, and anyone who needs to leave, can and should, and
that those who have any additional questions are welcome to pose
them.
• Often, staying after class with a smaller group of students to respond to
questions in a recorded format reduces the need to attend office
hours.
• Staying a few minutes after class gives the students the idea that you
care about their needs and are willing to invest time in helping them
get clarity.
• Staying after often reduces the teacher’s workload, as errors in
understanding that would later need to be corrected in homework are
avoided.

Step 12. Change Time Priorities
• The hardest step as it is a paradigm shift in educational practice.
• More time for evaluation, feedback and human touch.
• More time to plan.
• 1:1:1 (Plan, Evaluation, Teach)
• 3:3:1 (Preparation, Evaluation, Teaching)
• Estimation: For a class of 25 students, one semester (15 weeks)
• Preparation: 6 hours per semester (6x15=90 hours=approx. 3 weeks full-time)
• Evaluation: 6 hours per week (feedback on DBs, correcting 3-2-1s; mentoring
semester projects; sections; workshops; office hours; answering emails)
• Teaching: 2 hours per week (plus informal discussions before and after= .5
hours)

Step 12. Change Time Priorities
• Estimation: For a class of 25 students, one
semester (15 weeks)
• Preparation: 6 hours per semester
(6x15=90 hours=approx. 3 weeks full-
time)
• Evaluation: 6 hours per week (feedback
on DBs, correcting 3-2-1s; mentoring semester
projects; sections; workshops; office hours;
answering emails)
• Teaching: 2 hours per week (plus
informal discussions before and after= .5
hours)

Over the summer
Teachers should
have 5 or less preps
Teaching is the least amount of a
teacher’s time. Quality suggests a “full-
time” teacher works 12 months a year
and 8-hours a day (and should be
paid accordingly!)
Pros and Cons
Pros
• More focus on the
humanistic side of
teaching
• More focus on student
needs
• Much more personalization
• Much more differentiation
Cons
• Change in mind-set
needed to prioritize
formative evaluation (time)
• More front-end planning
(flipping)
29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 73
Teacher: More listening, less talking
Student: More interaction with peers and teachers

  • 19. The Steps in Great Instructional Design 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 20
  • 20. Step 1: Decide on the Course Objectives Synonyms for “Course Objectives”: “Educational Competencies”; “Learning Outcomes”; “Learner Outcomes” • “At the end of the course, learners will [know] [be able to] [value]…” • What knowledge, skills and attitudes will learners have at the successful completion of your course? 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 21

  • 22. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 23 Start List of Objectives End
  • 23. Example of Course Objectives: “In this MBHE overview course you will gain a basic understanding of the dynamic and inextricable interaction of the brain, mind, and body with the environment and the implications of this interaction on health, development, and learning. We will: • Explore the dynamic interplay of genes and environment. • Examine how the brain develops from the prenatal period through adulthood, including the dynamic development of the mind and brain. • Highlight the dramatic role supportive environments can play in development and well- being. • Learn about brain research tools including neuroimaging. • Consider the impact of health, including protective and risk factors (e.g., physical activity, toxic stress), on development, learning, and well-being and the potential of neuroplasticity. • Translate key course teachings into each student's’ own personal and • professional practice. “The overarching goal is to demonstrate how MBHE principles apply to individuals at all developmental stages through varied life circumstances as well as to enhance professional interventions.” 29 June 2020 Syllabus: PsycE1609 Neuroscience of Learning: An Introduction to Mind, Brain, Health and Education, (Tokuhama-Espinosa, 2020, p.4) 24
  • 24. Step 2. Decide on the Topic Order Some designers replace “Topic Order” for: “Curriculum”; “Syllabus”; “Weekly topics” • “At the end of the week, students will have the pre-requisite knowledge for the following week’s topic…” • What is the logical order of topics that builds off a neuroconstructivist trajectory of learning? 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 25
  • 25. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 26 Start List of Objectives End Week 15 Week 14 Week 13 Week 12 Week 11 Week 10 Week 9 Week 8 Week 7 Week 6 Week 5 Week 4 Week 3 Week 2 Week 1 Week 0 NeuroethicsIntro and Global Overview Functional Neuroanatomy Affective Neuroscience Attention Neuroplasticity & Epigenetics Memory Neurodevelopment Language Executive Functions Metacognition & Theories of Learning Global Overview & Future Directions Theory of Mind & Cultural Neuroscience Mindfulness & Default Mode Network Mind-Body Connection

  • 34. Example of pre-class slides Depending on the objective of the pre-class slides, they vary in length. • Entire lecture (20-60 minutes) (true, flipped class) • Highlights (3-8 minutes x 2 or more videos) • Engagement or Hook (1-4 minutes) 29 June 2020 https://business.tutsplus.com/tutorials/what-is-a-powerpoint-slide-deck--cms-31129 35
  • 35. If you will do a “real” flipped class, you have choices to make… • What should be flipped? • NOT everything! • What is the best use of the face-to- face time? • There is value and importance to direct, explicit instruction: But where is its place? • Hands-on activities? • Inquiry or problem-based focus? • Practice? • Pedagogy first, Technology second • Technology should support educational goals, not visa versa.
  • 36. If you will do a “real” flipped class, you have choices to make… • Use Bloom as a guide: • Video, Internet instruction (“Googleable knowledge”) is best used at the “bottom” of Bloom • But start at the top! Get students interested in the “big ideas” and use videos to help them fill in their gaps. Anderson, L. W. & Krathwohl, D. R. (Eds.) (2001). A taxonomy for learning, teaching, and assessing: A revision of Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. New York, NY: Longman.
  • 37. Ask one question… • What’s the best use of face-to-face time? • Lecturing? • Helping one, two or small groups of kids? • Reviewing? • OR • Experimenting, using, applying, hypothesizing… • Examples: Use videos to go over the answer sets to questions. Core concepts which might need repetition or which different kids will need different things. http://virginiaservice.virginia.gov/2016/06/new-national-stem-efforts/excited-girls-using-chemistry-set-together-in-elementary-science-classroom/; https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/11/designing-a-classroom-game-that-can-get-kids-excited-about-history/248614/; https://www.varsitytutors.com/blog/3+ways+to+get+elementary+students+excited+about+math
  • 38. Step 5. Based on the pre-class slides, record the pre-class video Some designers replace “Pre-Class Video” for: “Flipped video”; “Video”; “Weekly video” • “At the end of the viewing my pre-class video, learners will [know] [be able to] [value]…” • What is the best use of my synchronous time? How can I flip my class to spend more time doing deeper learning with my students? 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 39

  • 52. Example of Live Class Protocol Open 10-15 minutes before official start time. • Begin by greeting people as the enter. • Use people’s names as much as possible. • Ask them how they are doing to transition from “other” needs into the class. • Engage in short dialogues, class-related or otherwise (let students drive the choice) • If students have class related comments, use these to transition into the day’s topics. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 53 Makethestudentsfeelimportantand recognized,createcommunity.
  • 53. Example of Live Class Protocol At the official start of the class: • Announce you will begin recording (start recording). • Thank people for arriving on time and for making space in their day for the class. • Get everyone to turn on their cameras (or ask them to explain why they can’t). • Ask everyone to be sure their name appears as they would like to be addressed. • Ask everyone to say hello in the chat and respond to a simple question of the day to register attendance. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 54 Createawelcomingenvironment
  • 54. Example of Live Class Protocol Clarify Objectives of the Day: • Explain and display the objectives of the day. • Ask students if they would like to add anything to the agenda by writing in concerns, doubts or questions into the chat. • The first agenda item should always be “Your Questions and Ideas” from the Discussion Board, complimented by information from the chat. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 55 Students’agendainparallel withyouragenda
  • 55. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 1. Start with students’ ideas: • Begin by reviewing specific students’ Discussion Board replies, grouped by patterns of response. • Choose replies that show a pattern, highlight a problem, or which stimulated an enthusiastic concern. • Call on one or two students for each point and ask them to elaborate on their thinking. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 56 Makestudentstheprotagonists oftheirownlearning
  • 56. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 2. Dig deep into one or two ideas • Pick one or two “big ideas” from the pre-class video you want to go into more deeply. • Contextualize information; remind students of key vocabulary and concepts from pre-class video. • Use breakout rooms for small group discussion of the big ideas. Be sure and use specific prompts for breakout room discussions (e.g., “I think… I see… I wonder…”) to channel ideas. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 57 Usesmallgrouplearningtogive everyonethechancetotalk
  • 57. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 2. Share in the larger group • Upon returning from the breakout rooms, call on someone. Ask who they were with to get people to know each others’ names. Ask them what happened in their small group and what answers they had to the prompt. • Repeat this step until the entire group has shared through a representative. • Ask if anyone wants to add more ideas that were not yet covered. Call on them or invite them to write in the chat. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 58 Giveeveryoneavoice
  • 58. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 3. Depth over breadth • Remember that flipping means more depth, not necessary more breadth. • Avoid adding too many new ideas in the live class. Remember, this synchronous time should be devoted to helping students any needed clarifications and to see the application of the pre-class video concepts in their own lives. • Let the students lead. Learners generally know what they need. Ask them what they need and respond accordingly. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 59 Giveeveryoneavoice

  • 61. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 5. Summarize and Contextualize • Before ending the class, summarize and contextualize. • Offer a quick, one-minute review of what was done during the synchronous meeting. • Make reference to specific examples shared by students in the summary. • Explain what this information means in the larger context of the course. • Preview the next class’ content. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 62 Remindstudentsofhighlights
  • 62. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 6. Reflect • Use the last five minutes of the class for a 3-2-1 Reflection: • Three things you didn’t know before the class • Two things you are curious and want to know more about. • One thing you will change in your personal or professional life based on the information shared. • Use the Reflection as part of the participation grade. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 63 Offertimetomentallydigestideas
  • 63. Example of Live Class Protocol Typical order: 7. Loose Questions • End on time. Tell students that in honor of their time and busy lives, class is finished, and anyone who needs to leave, can and should, and that those who have any additional questions are welcome to pose them. • Often, staying after class with a smaller group of students to respond to questions in a recorded format reduces the need to attend office hours. • Staying a few minutes after class gives the students the idea that you care about their needs and are willing to invest time in helping them get clarity. • Staying after often reduces the teacher’s workload, as errors in understanding that would later need to be corrected in homework are avoided. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 64 Offertimetomentallydigestideas
  • 64. Step 10. Evaluation as a Teaching Tool throughout course Some designers replace “Evaluation” for: “Assessment”; “Feedback”; “Formative, Embedded Assessment”; “Diagnosis” • Evaluation is a Teaching Tool. • How are different evaluation tools used in this instructional design? 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 65

Asynchronous “Homework: Do-Overs and In-Depth Exploration” Evaluation is on-going, embedded, continual and formative. Evaluation is well- documented.
  • 66. Re-write policy • Any student that can learn from their mistakes should be given the opportunity to do so. • Students can re-write assignments to improve their grade using the feedback they received. • Re-submissions should be made within one week of receiving feedback. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 67
  • 67. 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 68 3-2-1 Reflections Knowledge Skills Attitudes
  • 68. Step 11. Clear Communication Some designers replace “Communication” for: “Teacher-Student exchange”; From the start of the course, students will know where to find information and get help. • How will you communicate with students to ensure regular contact, clear expectations, and a seamless flow of information? 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 69
  • 69. Communication Tools • Within platform Email • Announcements • Feedback Comments • Live Class Chat • Content and Logistics Discussion Boards • Office Hours • After (or before) Live Class availability • (WhatsApp; Instant Messaging) • Regularity is the key! 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 70
  • 70. Step 12. Change Time Priorities • The hardest step as it is a paradigm shift in educational practice. • More time for evaluation, feedback and human touch. • More time to plan. • 1:1:1 (Plan, Evaluation, Teach) • 3:3:1 (Preparation, Evaluation, Teaching) • Estimation: For a class of 25 students, one semester (15 weeks) • Preparation: 6 hours per semester (6x15=90 hours=approx. 3 weeks full-time) • Evaluation: 6 hours per week (feedback on DBs, correcting 3-2-1s; mentoring semester projects; sections; workshops; office hours; answering emails) • Teaching: 2 hours per week (plus informal discussions before and after= .5 hours) 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 71

Quality suggests a “full- time” teacher works 12 months a year and 8-hours a day (and should be paid accordingly!)
  • 72. Pros and Cons Pros • More focus on the humanistic side of teaching • More focus on student needs • Much more personalization • Much more differentiation Cons • Change in mind-set needed to prioritize formative evaluation (time) • More front-end planning (flipping) 29 June 2020 Tokuhama-Espinosa 73 Teacher: More listening, less talking Student: More interaction with peers and teachers
