ANALYSIS1. What is the target group?

2. What are the educational goals?

3. What are the learners needs?

4. What will be required from the learners?

5. What are the desired outcomes?

ANALYSIS6. What instructional goals does the project focus on?

7. Is the learning environment conductive?

8. What delivery option is chosen?

9. What existing instructional strategies will be used?

10. What limiting factors might occur?

DESIGN1. Who will prepare the learning material?

2. What available resources are at your disposal?

3. What types of activities will be generated?

4. What way will projects be implemented?

5. What is the time frame for each project?

DESIGN6. What skills are needed to complete projects?

7. What kind of user interface will be used?

8. What kind of feedback mechanism will be used?

9. How will the program fit the needs of the learners?

10. What is the main idea of the project?

DEVELOPMENT1. Create a specific time frame for completion of steps or modules for the project.

2. Create materials for each session of the project and try to make them different for each.

3. Encourage teamwork during the projects and emphasize the importance of working as a team.

4. Observe members that are working together effectively.

5. Push participants to work at their highest capacity and adjust group roles if necessary.

DEVELOPMENT6. Use various materials in a way that they are used intentionally.

7. Implement storyboards to show the flow of a process for a project.

8. Be sure to apply visuals during the project, graphics are a great way to explain

9. Apply strategies according to the intended behavioral outcomes

10. Be sure to document the project’s instructional, visual and technical design strategy.

IMPLEMENTATION1. Find out your preferred method of keeping records and the data you would like to use from the students that are working with the project.2. Determine if you will implement on a large or small scale.

3. Prepare a back up tool incase the project fails initially. Be sure to have a backup plan if technical problems arise.

4. Observe emotional feedback from everyone involved with the project. This includes students, teachers, and parents.

5. Find out if the participants are interested or resistant after receiving information about the project and adjust accordingly.

EVALUATION1. Determine which categories can be created to show effectiveness for the project.

2. Implement the collection of data in a way that will be effective and at the right time during the project.

3. Find a good method to allow change for parts of the project when needed. Revision of certain parts may be necessary.

4. Create a method to observe reliability of the project.

5. Create a method to observe validity of the project.

EVALUATION6. Create a method to determine if instructions are clear and are understood by participants.

7. Find a method where responses by participants are accurately graded.

8. Choose who sees the final results of the project.

9. Choose who keeps the results of the project.

10. Determine if all business needs are met.
