Artifact  Reflection

 

This course provided the framework for basic instructional design principles. Students practiced using instructional materials and created supporting resources for instructional purposes. The main project required students to select a tool, and peform a task and student analysis in order to understand the potential angles when desining a module for educational technology.

 

The artifact I selected is the module I designed and it focused on the use of Google Drive in the classroom. The greatest challenge I had was limiting the scope of the project. Google Drive is a vast tool and it would have been a smarter choice to simply focus on one apsect such as Forms or Slides. This would have allowed me to really target instruction, instead of trying to encompass all tools.

 

This experience taught me various techniques for identifying the need, analyzing your learners, developing a task analysis, writing performance objectives, providing authentic assessment, and evaluation of program design.
