• Learning Objectives for MODULE 3 are the
  following
• Describe the instructional design process and the
  importance of using a lesson plan and an advanced
  syllabus in an IVC course.
• Identify the components of the IVC lesson plan
  and advanced syllabus.
• Describe the guidelines for developing an IVC
  lesson plan and advanced syllabus.
• Identify the importance of interactivity for an
  IVC class to a remote site location
• Retrieve relevant instructional information from
  the IVC web site and print available IVC
  instructional templates (e.g. online IVC Syllabus
  Guidelines and Lesson Planning Guide)
• Plan an IVC course

• Planning and the Instructional Design Process

• The Instructional Design ADDIE Model is a good
  structure to follow not only for new course
  development, but also for course adaptation.
  ADDIE stands for the following
• A. Analyze and assess the current course (if a
  course conversion) and the students needs.
  Review existing course content and ask yourself
  how the course material can be presented in a
  visual or auditory manner
• D. Design and Develop a new course using the
  IVC lesson plan and advanced syllabus
  recommendations in this module. Adapt or develop
  materials.
• I. Implement the IVC course. Present and
  deliver the material (see the Presentation
  Techniques and Presentation Materials module)
• E. Evaluate the course material on an on-going
  basis (see IVC Course Delivery and Evaluation
  module)

• Lesson Plan Guidelines
• Lesson plans provide a framework for an
  instructor. Planned activities and exercises are
  more effective and can greatly enhance the
  productivity of a class. A lesson plan template
  is available athttp//irt.austincc.edu/ivc/desig
  n/lessonPlan.htm
• Lesson plans are expected to follow goals and
  objectives developed for the course and the
  pacing schedule established in the advanced
  syllabus.
• Each class lesson plan should include three
  sections
• Display of the day's objectives to students.
• Body of the presentation.
• Reviewing the day's work.
• Lesson Plan format is less important than the
  content. As long as instructors show that they
  have a solid outline for the presentation and
  that appropriate activities and enhancements are
  in place to meet the objectives, they are likely
  to succeed in their IVC presentation.

• Lesson Plan Guidelines (CONT.)
• It is recommended to put the outline of the
  lesson plan in a table or grid format with the
  following headings from left to right
• Lesson outline
• Activities / Exercises / Audio/Visual materials
• Evaluation (i.e. type of assessment you will give
  students to determine if they understood the
  concepts discussed (i.e. QA, Quiz, group
  discussions, etc.)
• Time
• For more information on the organization and
  structure of an IVC lesson plan, go to
  http//irt.austincc.edu/ivc/design/lessonPlan.htm
  
• As in any learning process, initial lesson plans
  may include more detail than later ones, when the
  instructor feels more "natural" using the
  equipment and communicating with IVC students.

• Lesson Plan Guidelines (cont.)
• When designing lesson plans, IVC instructors must
  utilize a reasonable variety of visual
  enhancements and instructional methods to help
  IVC students connect with concepts presented in
  the course.
• Visuals can include print-based items, computer
  presentations, videos, web pages, CD-ROM or any
  other appropriate means of helping students "see"
  the concept.

• Advanced Syllabus Guidelines
• As mentioned earlier in this module, in addition
  to a Lesson Plan, another important element when
  planning and designing your adapted IVC course,
  is an Advanced Syllabus. An advanced syllabus
  needs to contain information that is unique to an
  IVC class.
• The more detailed and thorough the IVC class
  syllabus, the better for both IVC instructors and
  students.
• It is recommended to divide the syllabus in at
  least 3 sections
• Administrative Information
• Technical Information
• Support Information

• IVC Advanced Syllabus
• 1. Administrative Information
• Class Lengths, Days and Times
• Contact information the Instructor/Office Hours
  (including facilitator info.)
• Alternative Contact Methods and Information.
  (i.e. One contact option should provide
  information on how to make contact through
  intercampus mail, email, etc.)
• On-line delivery (Blackboard) and support access
  information
• Attendance and Make-up Policies
• Web site URL Links and reference information. If
  the instructor or course has a web site or a
  Blackboard component, include the URL or access
  information in the syllabus. Be sure and let the
  students know if this is one of ways
  instructional materials will be distributed to
  the class. Make sure the students understand how
  and when it will be posted.

• IVC Advanced Syllabus
• 1. Administrative Information
• Office Hours. If planning on holding synchronous
  or virtual "office hours," post those days and
  hours on the syllabus. If that information will
  change from week to week, that information can be
  posted on the instructor's web site or within Bb.
  
• Instructor Location. Let the students know your
  class schedule. Will you alternate sites? If so,
  when will you be at the Remote site location
• Access to course materials (i.e. if Bb will be
  part of the class, do students know how to access
  it?)
• Supplementary materials, reference materials
  outside learning opportunities
• Class Assignments, Labs, Activities and Projects
• Testing, Grading, Assessment and Evaluation
  Policies

• IVC Advanced Syllabus (cont.)
• 2. Technical Information
• Introduce IVC Technology
• Include information to help the student become
  familiar with the technology in the room and let
  them know how you expect them to interact with
  the technology. Inform them the technology is
  there to help them communicate with you and other
  students. Also include info on IVC room
  etiquette.
• Problems with IVC technology
• Let students know they must inform you when they
  can't see or hear you. If they can't contact you,
  instruct them to call the Video Help Desk.
• Push to Talk Microphones
• Have information about how to operate the Push to
  Talk Microphones and includes photos on how to
  operate them. This is one of the most difficult
  things for students to remember to do.
• Speaker Phone
• If you are unable to use interactive video, let
  your student know that you will be using the
  speaker phone to conduct the class. While they
  may not be able to see you, they will be able to
  hear you and the class may continue.

• Provide your students with a list of services
  such as
• Campus Libraries
• open access Computer Centers
• Tutoring/Learning Labs
• Various ACC and DL student support services.
