Basics of e-learningIntroduction to Instructional Design

DAY I

Stijn Van Laer

Mariet Vriens

The program of this training

• During these 3 day

training we want to share

our vision on the

analysis of Learning

Situations and the design

of a new Learning

Environment. To do this

we will introduce example

methods and models.

• Important to know: they

are not the only truth!

To be precise (I) !

(Lee & Owens, 2004)

The program of today

• Today we will focus on:– the use of Instructional

Design.

– the differences betweenthe Learning Situation andthe Learning Environment.

– the ADDIE-model as asystematic approach ofInstructional Design.

– the Global scheme used atthe KU Leuven.

– The analysis of theLearning Situations.

• Important to know(again): It is not theonly truth!

To be precise (II) !

(Lee & Owens, 2004)

By the end of this day you are able to:

• … describe the importance of the Instructional Design

approach in Education.

• … describe the difference between a Learning Situation

and a Learning Environment.

• … describe the systematic approach of developing a

Learning Environment using the ADDIE-model.

• … describe the systematic approach of developing a

Learning Environment using the Global Scheme.

• … perform (apply), in group and guided by the

instructor, an analysis of the presented case.

• … describe the steps needed to work out your personal

project proposal.

Practical issues

• We will work with a very specific case.

• Groups for the next 3 days:

– Group 1: Katrina, Melaku, Paola, Innocent

– Group 2: Sheleena, Ahmed, Osmel, Le

– Group 3: Luisa, Kidus, Shabbir, Shallon

• Use all the resources available.

• Consult each other, work together,collaborate, etc.

• We will have 2 times a short break (morningand afternoon), remind me of that (in case Iforget. Cfr. last year).

THE IMPORTANCE OF

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND

SOME BASIC MODELS

Instructional Design

The process by which instruction is improved through

the analysis of learning needs and a systematic design

and development of learning environments and materials.

(Morrison, Ross, & Kemp, 2004).

Instructional designers often use technology and

multimedia as tools to enhance instruction.

Learning Situations & Learning Environments

• Learning Situation vs Learning Environment

What is at the moment …

What can / must be created …

Instructional Design

Different ID-models

• 4C-ID Model (Jeroen van Merriënboer)

• Algo-Heuristic Theory (Lev Landa)

• ARCS (John Keller)

• ASSURE (Heinich, Molenda, Russel, and Smaldino)

• Backward Design (Wiggins & McTighe)

• Conditions of Learning (Robert Gagne)

• Component Display Theory (David Merrill)

• Criterion Referenced Instruction (Robert Mager)

• Integrative Learning Design Framework for Online Learning(Debbaugh)

• Spiral Model (Boehm)

• Rapid Prototyping (Tripp & Bichelmeyer)

• Kemp Design Model (Morrison, Ross, and Kemp)

• Organizational Elements Model (OEM) (Roger Kaufman)

• Transactional Distance (Michael Moore)

Brief description

• The ADDIE model is the generic process traditionally

used by instructional designers and training developers.

• The five phases—Analysis, Design, Development,

Implementation, and Evaluation—represent a dynamic,

flexible guideline for building effective training and

performance support tools.

• Most of the current instructional design models are

spin-offs or variations of the ADDIE model.

THE CASE…

Case Fabrics Inc. (I)

• Fabrics Inc., a state of the art weaving factory, once a smallorganization, recently experienced an incredible growth. Onlytwo years ago, the owner was also the supervisor of 40employees.

• Now it is a firm that employs more than 200. The fast growthproved good for some, with the opportunity for advancement.

• The owner called a consultant to help him with a fewproblems that emerged with the fast growth. "I seem to havetrouble keeping my mold-makers and some other keyemployees," he said. They are in demand, and although I amcompetitive regarding money, I think the new supervisors arenot treating them well. Also, I received some complaintsfrom customers about the way supervisors talk to them.

• The supervisors were all promoted from within, without anyformal training in supervising employees. They know theirstuff regarding the work the employees are doing, sothey are able to help employees who are havingproblems.

CASE: Blanchard, P. N. and J. W. Thacker (2007). Effective Training: Systems, Strategies, and Practices, Pearson Prentice Hall.

Case Fabrics Inc. (II)

• However, they seem to get into arguments easily, and I

hear a lot of yelling going on in the plant.

• When we were smaller, I looked after the supervisory

responsibilities myself and never found a reason to yell at the

employees, so I think the supervisors need some training in

effective ways to deal with employees. I only have nine

supervisors.

Could you give them some sort of training to

be better?

Analysis

(Lee & Owens, 2004)

FRONT-END ANALYSIS (LEE & OWENS, 2004)

The Basics of Instructional Design

Audience (Student Characteristics)

Analysis

Identify the background, learning characteristics, and

prerequisite skills of the audience.

1. Analyze audience demographics and special

requirements.

2. Determine attitudes toward content and education.

3. Analyze the critical skills of the audience (language, IT,

…).

4. Document the results.

Exercise

• Sit in groups.

• Describe your audience (target

group) in detail. (30 minutes) Try to

come up with a possible profile.

• Present plenary per group (max. 5

minutes)

(Learning) Objective Analysis

What are the objectives for the course?

An objective must be:

1. Specific (This means the goal is clear and

unambiguous; without vagaries and platitudes.)

2. Measurable (Need for concrete criteria for measuring

progress toward the attainment of the goal.)

3. Attainable (The goals are neither out of reach nor below

standard performance.)

4. Relevant (choose goals that matter.)

5. Timely (A commitment to a deadline helps focus

their efforts on completion of the goal.)

Document the results!
