6.1 Introduction to the Development Phase

  • Overview of Tutorial Goals

    • Review ADDIE phases of the instructional design process

    • Focus on the Development phase of ADDIE

6.2 Purpose of Instruction

  • Instruction is purposeful, aimed at facilitating learning.

  • Well-designed instruction involves:

    • A systematic process

    • Foundations in learning theory

    • Guidance from instructional theory

    • Addressing performance gaps caused by deficiencies in knowledge, skills, or attitudes (KSAs).

6.3 Characteristics of Instructional Design

  • Instructional Design (ID) is strategic and systematic.

  • Focus on identifying performance gaps to improve learner performance.

  • ADDIE framework:

    • Identify gaps and resources

    • Develop solutions to resolve performance issues

    • Iterative process for continuous improvement of instruction

6.4 The Development Phase in ADDIE

  • Definition:

    • The third phase of ADDIE focused on creating instructional materials based on design blueprints.

  • Key components of Development:

    • Utilizing various media for materials

    • Creating storyboards

    • Developing learning resources

    • Conducting formative evaluations

    • Finalizing instructional environments and resources

6.5 Transferring Instruction to Learners

  • Instruction can be delivered through:

    • Human instructors or media

  • Types of media include:

    • Videos, worksheets, books, and internet resources

  • Considerations for media selection:

    • Expected learning outcomes

    • Effectiveness of media types for delivering expected outcomes

    • Availability of media to learners and instructors

6.6 Selecting Appropriate Media

  • Steps for media selection:

    1. Determine expected learning types and objectives

    2. Choose media that supports learning objectives (consider features and costs)

    3. Assess availability of media for learners, instructors, and developers

    4. Make a final decision on media selection

6.7 Media Effectiveness

  • Different media serve various learning types:

    • Developing fact knowledge, visual identification, higher order thinking, etc.

  • Media complexity versus cost:

    • More complex media (interactive) may offer profound engagement but are costlier to create.

    • Simpler media (static images, text) are often less costly but can still support learning.

  • Consider the intended learning outcomes when selecting media.

6.8 Storyboarding Process

  • Storyboarding:

    • A process to translate design ideas into production-ready instructional materials.

    • Provides a visual description for ease of understanding by the development team.

  • Forms of storyboards include:

    • Narratives, flowcharts, visual representations, design specifications.

  • Importance of storyboarding for clarity and effectiveness in teaching materials.

6.9 Steps in Storyboarding

  • Step 1: Create a big picture narrative:

    • Overview of instruction, context, expected learning outcomes, and resources.

  • Step 1b: Create a flowchart:

    • Diagram main components of instruction including all events.

  • Step 2: Detail events within storyboards:

    • Text and visual representation to describe specific events and specifications.

6.10 Implementation and Evaluation Preparation

  • Development phase focuses on creating resources for implementation and evaluation:

    • Considerations for ease or difficulty of implementation.

  • Evaluate formative and summative assessment materials, including:

    • Timing of evaluations, types of information needed, evaluation methods, and data interpretation.

6.11 Summary of the Development Phase

  • The Development phase aims to facilitate the creation of instructional materials based on design blueprints.

  • Key aspects include:

    • Final media decisions

    • Prototype creation through storyboards

    • Finalizing instructional environments and materials

    • Preparing for implementation and evaluation to address performance gaps successfully.
