summative evaluation
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
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
The Designer’s Role in Materials Development and Instructional DeliveryThe 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
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
Describe factors that may cause revisions in media selections and delivery systems for a given instructionWith conditions changing across the board, there is a need to change the delivery system and media selectionsThree factors typically make up help determine these changes1. Productions and implementation constraints2. Amount of facilitation that the instructor will provide during
instruction3. Availability of existing instructional materials
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
Delivery System and Media continued
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
Components of an Instructional Packagecontinued
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
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
Examples of Instructional Materials continued 1. Technical Criteria
2. Context-Centered
3. Goal-Centered
4. Learner-Centered
5. Learning-Centered
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
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
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
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
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.
