Developing instruction materials

Chapter 10

1. Developing Instruction Materials Christopher Walker

2. Background Chapter Nine presents instructional design development, the steps involved in the process and what is considered a design

3. Background Continued

4. Objectives 1. describe the designer’s role in materials development and instructional delivery 2. describe factors that may cause revisions in media selections and delivery systems for a given instruction 3. name and describe the components of an instructional package 4. list four categories of criteria for judging the aooropriateness of existing instructional materials 5. name appropriate rough drafts materials for various final media 6. given an instructional strategy, describe the procedures for developing instructional materials 7. develop instructional materials based on a given instructional strategy

5. Instructional Material Instructional material is printed or any other media that is used to give instructions and in return a student uses it to achieve a goal

6. The Designer’s Role in Materials Development and Instructional Delivery The Designer is the Materials Developer and Instructor as well The instructional setting usually creates a one stop shop where the designer is also the developer and teacher of the instruction Examples include; lesson plans, syllabi, materials and instruction

7. Designer’s Role in Materials continued Instruction is in given in three methods Active Agent: instructor personally delivers instruction Facilitator: designed to be delivered independently of the instructor Active Agent/Facilitator: materials selected and adapted to their instructional strategy

8. Describe factors that may cause revisions in media selections and delivery systems for a given instruction With conditions changing across the board, there is a need to change the delivery system and media selections Three factors typically make up help determine these changes Productions and implementation constraints Amount of facilitation that the instructor will provide during instruction Availability of existing instructional materials

9. Delivery System and Media continued Availability of existing instructional materials An example would be pre-recorded workshop on workplace bullying that can be copied and distributed Planned material sometimes has to have substitutes Some materials can have alternatives when it comes to developing and producing new and improved material

10. Delivery System and Media continued

11. Components of an Instructional Package After determining the delivery system and the media associated with the delivery system then you must focus on the materials needed or create new material and that includes specifications for your vision or system

12. Components of an Instructional Package continued Components that make up a package 1. Course Management Information - general description of the total package that provides an overview of the materials also very important 2. Assessments – materials that are to be included objectives, tests and product and performance assessments 3. Instructional Material – this material must contain content that is useful to a student in order to achieve goals

13. Examples of Instructional Materials Different groups of criteria that is to be used for planning material Upon creating instructional strategy, then it is time to determine if material can help achieve goals

14. Examples of Instructional Materials continued 1. Technical Criteria 2. Context-Centered 3. Goal-Centered 4. Learner-Centered 5. Learning-Centered

15. name appropriate rough drafts materials for various final media Rough Draft Materials Rapid Prototyping – process of using prototype approximations with software design which test the application for specifications and this is a better way to ensure success of a final product Material Development Tools and resources – material that requires a certain skill set and this skill set test how good the instruction are and the media is to be updated more frequently to ensure that new developments have been updated with the use of technology

16. an instructional strategy, describe the procedures for developing instructional materials What is my instructional strategy? Learner analysis, identification of goals and objectives What budget do I have available? The cost of developing or adapting material and the cost of maintaining the instructional material What resources will I have on hand? Accessibility, and flexibility

17. develop instructional materials based on a given instructional strategy Learning Progressions - creation of instructional frameworks centered on learning progressions Instructional Materials for Students – the creation and substantial revision of comprehensive curricula and supplemental instructional materials that are research-based; enhance classroom instruction, preK-12; and reflect standards for science, mathematics, and technology education developed by national professional organizations

18. develop instructional materials based on a given instructional strategy continued Assessment – creation of tools for assessing student learning that are tied to nationally developed standards and reflect the most current thinking on developing resources Applied Research – provides evidence for the effectiveness of materials and feedback it also identifies possible new directions in instructional materials and assessment

19. Lifelong Learner Summary Being a lifelong learner the developing of instructional materials is quite intense. This takes several steps that include development, production, design and evaluation. During this process changes will come that will depend on the delivery methods and media.
