Developing deep understanding of Instructional
Design and Development

• An introduction to
• IDE 830 Doctoral Seminar in
• Design and Development

2

• What do you know about these items?
• What are they?
• What is their function?
• What are their attributes?

3
How did you come to know these things? How
deep is your knowledge about these things?
Why is this knowledge important? What can you
do with it? What does this have to do with
knowledge of Instructional Design and Development?
4
What level of knowledge do you have of
instructional design and development?

• To the best of your ability at this point
• Respond to the questions on the handout
• There may not be right or wrong answers,
• You may have limited knowledge of these areas, or
  merely opinions
• You may be asked to defend your response so
  think about where your response originated
• Feel free to draw graphics to support your
  responses and explanations
• Be prepared to share your thoughts, and ask
  questions of others responses
• You have 30 minutes to complete this assignment,
  please make sure you have addressed all of the
  questions in that time, plan appropriately

  different instructional development models? 3
  different instructional design theories?
• What are the key research and practice journals
  in instructional design and development?
• What two research topics are most prevalent (hot
  topics) in the instructional design literature?
  What questions are being asked?
• What two research topics are most prevalent (hot
  topics) in the instructional development
  literature? What questions are being asked?
• Who are the top 3 to 5 scholars in the
  instructional design and development fields and
  what do each of them study or practice?
• What is you graphic representation of the
  relationship between instructional design and
  development, research and practice perspectives?
• Why is it important to your doctoral studies to
  be familiar with research and practice
  literature for instructional design and
  development?

Developing deep knowledge of instructional
design and development

• At the end of this course, it is expected that
  you will be able to
• Describe the key attributes of instructional
  design and development models and strategies
• Develop a detailed instructional development
  model and work plan (all steps and rationale for
  each step), based in the literature on
  Instructional Development Models, that can be
  adapted to support the development of any type of
  instruction
• Describe the instructional design research
  paradigms and questions currently being
  investigated in our field
• Critique the contribution of instructional design
  and development research papers.

7
First major assignment

• Create a database of instructional design
  theories and models
• You will create a database of instructional
  design theories and models that contains at least
  10 records that detail the theories and models on
  at least 10 attributes
• The class will collaborate on the database design
  so that the data can be shared.
• Upon completion you will run at least two unique
  queries in the database and present to the class
  a comparison of the theories based on these
  queries.

8
Second major assignment

• Create a comprehensive instructional development
  model and work plan
• You will create an instructional development
  model and accompanying work plan that describes
  and provides a comprehensive and complete
  framework for developing instruction.
• The model should have a graphic representation
  and brief (2-3 page) narrative describing how it
  works that provides evidence (from research and
  practice literature) for each major component of
  the model,
• The work plan must detail major phases to develop
  instruction, tasks for each phase, estimated time
  lines/start/stop relationships for each
  phase/timeline, deliverables for each phase/task,
  rationale for each phase/task, skills required
  (e.g., technical, management, design, graphics,
  media, etc) to complete each task, evaluation
  criteria for completing each phase/task (e.g.
  quality assurance and sign off activities) and a
  reference to the literature that suggests the
  need for phase/task.

Other requirements

• Mid-term Exam
• in-class, closed book
• similar to instructional design qualification
  exam
• Final Comprehensive Exam
• in-class, closed book
• Could be instructional design or development
  qualification exam
• Class participation
• It is expected that you will be present,
  attentive, and involved in all classes, evidenced
  by participating, sharing homework, questioning,
  debating, discussing, and presenting relevant
  issues.
• It is expected that you will be prepared to
  participate and that your comments in class will
  be critical and constructive.
• It is expected that you will be prepared to a
  lead class discussion on topics you are reading
  about and literature in design and development.
