Class final reflection

I liked this class a lot, I learned a lot. I liked learning about the ADDIE model and all of the different parts of the instructional design process. We had really interesting discussions in class which I enjoyed. I liked how groups were given articles to present as well as different media topics. That helped make the 3-hour class into more manageable chunks :). I liked how we were able to be creative with our projects, and that we got to go through the ID process while we were learning about it. Each group came up with totally different types of projects, and I thought that was really cool. I'll definitely apply what I have learned when I am planning for my 4th graders- I still feel like I have a lot to learn about ID, but I've had a great start!

Chapter 13

Design and conduct summative evaluation

Summative evaluation helps you know if you should maintain, adapt, or adopt instruction. The primary evaluator should be unfamiliar with the materials, organization, or setting of the materials being evaluated (external evaluators). They have no personal investement.

Instructional designers can be great evaluators because of their skillset. The judgement of instruction is based on the design model of systematically designing instruction.
-Judge need and goals
-Completeness and accuracy of content presented in materials
-Instructional goal analysis with subordinate skills
-Content experts produce or verify skills diagrams
-Evaluate quality of materials with their instructional strategies and for their potential of transfer of knowledge and skills from learning environment to performance context.

Impact analysis:
-Were the needs of the organization met?
-Were employees able to transfer knowledge to the job?
-Is there an improvement in job performance or productivity?
