Title: Introduction to Instructional Design

Grade Level: High School (9th-12th grade)

Subject: Technology/Computer Science

Duration: 3 class periods (45 minutes each)

Objectives: 1. Understand the concept of instructional design and its importance in creating effective learning experiences. 2. Identify the key components of instructional design. 3. Apply instructional design principles to create a simple instructional module.

Materials: - Whiteboard or chalkboard - Markers or chalk - Computers or laptops with internet access - Projector or smartboard (optional)

Procedure:

Day 1: Introduction to Instructional Design

  1. Engage students by asking them to think about their favorite learning experiences and what made them effective. Discuss their responses as a class.
  2. Introduce the concept of instructional design as the systematic process of creating effective and engaging learning experiences. Explain that instructional designers use various strategies and techniques to design instruction that meets specific learning objectives.
  3. Discuss the importance of instructional design in various fields, such as education, corporate training, and e-learning.
  4. Present the key components of instructional design: a. Analysis: Identifying the needs of learners and the desired learning outcomes. b. Design: Creating a blueprint or plan for the instructional module. c. Development: Creating the actual instructional materials and resources. d. Implementation: Delivering the instruction to learners. e. Evaluation: Assessing the effectiveness of the instruction and making improvements if necessary.
  5. Show examples of instructional design models, such as ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) or SAM (Successive Approximation Model).
  6. Assign students to research and choose one instructional design model to present to the class on the next day.

Day 2: Instructional Design Models

  1. Have students present their chosen instructional design models to the class. Encourage them to explain the key steps and how they can be applied in different instructional contexts.
  2. Facilitate a class discussion comparing and contrasting the different models. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
  3. Introduce the concept of backward design, where the desired learning outcomes are identified first, followed by the design and development of instructional materials.
  4. Provide examples of real-world instructional design projects, such as creating an online course, designing a training program for employees, or developing a lesson plan for a specific subject.
  5. Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different instructional design project. Instruct them to brainstorm and outline the key steps they would take to design and develop the instruction.

Day 3: Applying Instructional Design Principles

  1. Have each group present their instructional design project outline to the class. Encourage them to explain their rationale for each step and how it aligns with the chosen instructional design model.
  2. Facilitate a class discussion on the commonalities and differences between the groups’ approaches.
  3. Provide feedback and guidance to each group, highlighting the strengths and areas for improvement in their instructional design plans.
  4. Instruct students to individually create a simple instructional module for a topic of their choice, using the instructional design principles discussed in class.
  5. Allow students to work on their instructional modules using computers or laptops. Provide assistance and guidance as needed.
  6. Have students present their instructional modules to the class in the next class session.

Assessment: - Class participation during discussions and group activities. - Presentation of chosen instructional design model. - Presentation of instructional design project outline. - Presentation of individual instructional module.

Extension Activities: - Have students conduct a case study on a real-world instructional design project and present their findings to the class. - Assign students to create a multimedia presentation on the history and evolution of instructional design. - Explore online resources and tools for instructional design, such as learning management systems or e-learning authoring tools.

Title: Advanced Instructional Design Strategies

Grade Level: High School (11th-12th grade)

Subject: Technology/Computer Science

Duration: 5 class periods (45 minutes each)

Objectives: 1. Analyze and critique different instructional design models and their applicability in various learning contexts. 2. Apply advanced instructional design strategies to create a comprehensive instructional module. 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of instructional design choices through formative and summative assessments.

Materials: - Whiteboard or chalkboard - Markers or chalk - Computers or laptops with internet access - Projector or smartboard (optional) - Rubrics for assessment

Procedure:

Day 1: Review of Instructional Design Models

  1. Engage students in a discussion about their understanding of instructional design models. Ask them to share their experiences with instructional design and any challenges they have faced.
  2. Review the key components of instructional design models discussed in the previous lesson.
  3. Introduce additional instructional design models, such as Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction or Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction.
  4. Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different instructional design model. Instruct them to analyze and critique the model, considering its strengths, weaknesses, and applicability in different learning contexts.
  5. Have each group present their findings to the class, encouraging a critical discussion on the pros and cons of each model.

Day 2: Advanced Instructional Design Strategies

  1. Introduce advanced instructional design strategies, such as problem-based learning, project-based learning, or flipped classroom models.
  2. Discuss the benefits and challenges of implementing these strategies in instructional design.
  3. Provide examples of real-world instructional design projects that have successfully utilized these strategies.
  4. Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different advanced instructional design strategy. Instruct them to brainstorm and outline the key steps they would take to design and develop instruction using the chosen strategy.
  5. Have each group present their instructional design strategy outline to the class, highlighting the unique features and benefits of their chosen approach.

Day 3: Applying Advanced Instructional Design Strategies

  1. Review the instructional design projects outlined by the groups in the previous lesson.
  2. Instruct students to refine and expand their instructional design plans, incorporating the advanced instructional design strategies discussed.
  3. Provide guidance and feedback to each group, emphasizing the alignment between the chosen strategy and the learning objectives.
  4. Instruct students to create a detailed storyboard or prototype of their instructional module, including multimedia elements, assessments, and interactive activities.

Day 4: Formative Assessment and Iterative Design

  1. Introduce the concept of formative assessment and its role in instructional design.
  2. Instruct students to conduct a formative assessment of their instructional module by piloting it with a small group of peers or teachers.
  3. Provide students with a rubric to evaluate the effectiveness of their instructional module, focusing on engagement, clarity, and alignment with learning objectives.
