Week Five

Discuss in class the findings in chapters 18 and 22 as assigned. Written reviews are due.

Discuss your final project groups, your topic, goal and objectives. Submit in writing as a group, your goal and objectives by Week 6.

Participate in lecture on instructional strategies.

Read the Final Project Expectations


Week Four

In small groups of three or four, report to your classmates what you discovered in your one week of informal research. Then report to the entire class your findings.

Discuss in class your review of the article on motivation as it is returned to you in class.

Participate in lecture on objectives and sequencing.

Select one of two handouts, chapter 18 (ID in business) or chapter 22 (ID in higher ed) and submit as written review in class in week 5.

Find the members of your group for the final project and start discussion on your choice of topics.


Week Three

Quiz on "What do you consider most interesting or exciting to learn about in Instructional Design." In other words, as a way of taking control of your education, what would you like to learn? What are you most interested in learning about?

Now take that topic and find out everything you can about that topic before next week and report back in class what you discovered. No written assignment needs to be turned in to the professor, but it is very important for you to write down some notes so you can refer to them when you report in class next week.

If you don't feel comfortable with your choice of topics, consider the topic "Rubrics" and do your researching on that topic. Use whatever sources you can dream up.

If the instructor returned the first report (on chapter 6) back and asked for a rewrite, do so by next week (Week 4).


Week Two

The class will visit the Jensen Arctic Museum and select an item, a set of items, a them or topic and present a brief presentation for class during Week Three.

Presentations will be prepared and presented by a group of three students. Each will contribute to the preparation. Presentations will be 5-7 minutes long, will include a topic or them, a title, an audience of the group's own choosing, and at least four (4) objectives. Before each presentation the presenting group will explain their audience, their setting, their goal and the length of their presentation. Selected students in the class along with the instructor will evaluate the presentations. Each group will also hand to the instructor one written document describing all of the above mentioned items.

Find a journal article on a topic related to motivation and learning/teaching and write a brief review summary to be handed in in week 3.


Week One

During the first week there is no assignment outside of class. The first assignment is to attend that first class and take it from there.

A copy of chapter 6 from Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology by Reiser and Dempsey will be given to the students to read. The students will critique the questions at the end of the chapter as to whether they are fitting for the chapter and the course. The critique will be purely personal.
