Study Notes

Content Development Using Instructional Design

Instructional design is a systematic approach to creating effective courses.
It guides the structure of courses.
It promotes meaningful and active learning.
It ensures high-quality instruction by incorporating technology and multimedia.

Online learning

Online learning is delivered via computer and the internet.
Coursework includes electronic forums, discussions, quizzes, and assignments.
Two types of access exist: open access and restricted access.
- Open access allows anyone with an internet browser to view the course material.
- Restricted access limits access to registered students and facilitates instructor interactions.

Successful Online Learning Courses

Interactive courses
Energetic courses
Dynamic courses
Courses appealing to learners' auditory, visual, and tactile senses

Important Tips for Developing Content

Students learn best when they can see, read, hear, or try new information.
Visual, auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic learning styles should be considered.

Online Learning: Synchronous/Asynchronous

Synchronous: Learning occurs in real-time with a live instructor.
Asynchronous: Learning is self-paced, allowing learners to progress at their own speed.

Skills Students Need for Elearning

Personal Skills: Active learning, responsibility, motivation, self-discipline, strong reading and writing skills, time management, and exam preparation.
General Computer Skills: Basic computer proficiency, word processing, printing, and file management.
Internet Skills: Using web pages, bookmarks, saving, printing, and performing web searches.
Collaboration: Participating in online discussions, group work, e-presentations, and e-forums.

Basic Principles for Technology-Based Learning

Know your learners: Understand learner characteristics, location, internet access, and device access.
State your objectives: Define learning outcomes and course objectives.
Establish the learning environment: Create a suitable learning space with appropriate facilities.
Identify teaching/learning strategies: Define methods to help students learn content.
Identify and select technologies: Choose appropriate technological tools for learning.
Summative evaluation and revision: Evaluate and improve learning resources based on effectiveness.

Definition of Self-Instructional Materials

Self-Instruction: Methods used by instructors to provide or design instructional activities to guide learners in achieving their learning objectives independently.
Self-Learning Materials: Learning resources learners can use without the presence of an instructor, excluding peer learning.

Elements of Self-Learning Materials

Self-Explanatory: Materials designed for learners to understand content without an instructor's real-time explanation.
Self-Contained: Materials complete in themselves, requiring no additional materials for learning.
Self-Directed: Materials providing guidance for learners to progress through the content independently.
Motivating: Materials designed to encourage learner interest and curiosity.
Evaluating: Materials fostering learners' self-assessment and knowledge progression.

Basic Principles of Instructional Design

Students learn best when new knowledge builds on existing knowledge, with active learning.
Students benefit from tasks that incorporate new knowledge into their world.

Instructional Design Models

ADDIE Model: A five-phase cyclical model for creating instruction: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation.
ASSURE Model: A seven-step model for designing instruction using technology: Analyze learners, State objectives, Select methods, Utilize technology, Require participation, Evaluate and revise.
Other models: Gagne's 9 events of instruction and Merrill's principles of instruction are also mentioned but not detailed.

Additional Notes

The slides mention popular digital platforms like Google Meet, WhatsApp, Padlet, etc, in a table format illustrating possible learning activities.
Suggestions for effective platforms for learning and teaching are also included.
A sample lesson plan is included and designed as a reference tool.
