Instructional+Design


 * Instructional Design **

The online learning activity will be based on the ASSURE Model. This particular model is a systematic plan for educators to use when planning classroom use of media and technology. It was created by Heinich, Molenda, Russell, and Smaldino. This module encourages a purposeful look at emerging technologies and learner engagement. The ASSURE acronym stands for the following:


 * A - Analyse learners
 * S - State standards and objectives
 * S - Select strategies, technology, media and materials
 * U - Utilise technology, media and materials
 * R - Require learner participation
 * E - Evaluate and Revise

This model is based on Robert Gagne's event of instruction.The ASSURE Model embraces the different learning styles of learners. One of the elements of this particular model is that learners must be active participants in their own learning as well as interacting with their environment and their fellow classmates.


 * __**Analyse learners**__

General Characteristics Description of the class, age, grade, gender, socio-economic etc.

 * __**State standards and objectives**__

Statement describing what the learner will do as a result of instruction. Things to keep in mind: focus on the learner, not the teacher, use behaviours that reflect real world concerns. Which methods, media and materials will you and your learners use? E.g. speech, outing, group work. Is the media and materials appropriate to achieve desired outcome. How can you and your learners make the best use of these materials? Make sure that media is used before the lesson to ensure that no glitches occur e.g. smartboards, computer and projector must be synchronised. How will you get your learners involved in learning? What type of activities or assessments will be used e.g. journals, games, teamwork. How will you evaluate both the learners and your instruction? What would you change if you have to present lesson again?
