    Part 1. TopicPart 1a. Stated learning goal

    At the end of one 60 minute instructional session, college age students will be able to create a blog andposts within the blog, on the OS X blog platform. This blog will serve as the students language learningportfolio.

    Part 1b. Description of the audienceThe learners are college age undergraduates studying a second language for credit.

    Part 1c. Rationale

    I chose the topic of blog creation because it was a finite learning objective. At the institution where Iwork students are required to create portfolios, but formal instruction for this process had not been created. I

    took this opportunity to make the act of actually creating the blogs the students will use as theirportfolios andapplying an instructional design process to provide the best experience possible for the students. The strategyused for this project is primarily supplantive. Although the use for the portfolio will be generative for the

    students, the creation process is supplantive. The students must know how to create the portfolio and use the

    system so that the generative materials may be created. The primary instructional strategy that this project fallsunder is that of Learning Procedures. While most of the tasks the students will need to learn for this project are

    single tasks that have no deviation, there are aspects where the students must make choices to complete atask. The students must learn how to generate posts within their portfolio using a variety of artifacts that

    demonstrate second or third language acquisition. They must also be able to write expositively about theartifacts that they have chosen to include in their portfolios. The students must master the act of creation of the

    posts to complete the portfolio successfully. In the process of learning procedures, learners must be able to

    recall steps to complete a task depending on variables. This is true with post creation within a studentsportfolio. Depending on the type of artifact, different tools will need to be used.

    Part 2. Analysis Report

    Part 2a. Description of the Need Part

    The survey created for this project was intended to answer two primary questions. The first was todetermine the users comfort level with technology. This question speaks to learners attitudes and whether or

    not attitudes and motivators need to be directly addressed during the instruction process. The second question

    addressed what level of prior knowledge of online content creation the learners have. A sub-goal of the survey

    was to determine if students with prior knowledge of online content creation are they able to transfer that

    knowledge to an educational context. The survey consisted of 13 questions to determine the learners

    experiences with online material creation. The questions were as follows:

    2a.1 Needs Analysis Survey

    1. Please describe what comes to mind when you think of technology in an educational context.

    2. Thinking about your access to technology, please choose the description that most closely reflects your

    experience.

    a. I have been using technology for as long as I can remember.

    b. I have had access to technology since high school

    c. I have only be using technology for the last few years

    d. I have not had access to technology until starting college

    e. I have not been using technology until this class

    3. For the portfolio you will be required to be using technology that assumes a baseline knowledge of web

    authoring. Please rate your comfort level with using this technology.4. Have you ever created content online before?

  • 8/13/2019 Clayton Mitchell's Final ID Project

    5. Do you use any of these social networking tools regularly?

    6. If you chose other, what sites do you use?7. Have you ever used a blog before?8. Do you know how to use tags to organize posts?

    9. Do you know how to upload pictures, audio, and/or video to online sites?

    10. Have you ever used an online portfolio before?11. Do you know how to comment on blogs?

    12. If yes, Do you know how to reply to comments of your comment13. For the portfolios we will be using the blog platform on the OS X server. Have you ever used thisplatform before?

    Part 2a.2 Needs Analysis Data Report

    The first main goal was to determine how long the learners have been using technology and what their comfort

    level is with technology. As you can see from this table, most of the 18 respondents identified that they have

    been using technology for a significant time. Only two identified having access to technology only since high

    school. This would put this group of learners as experienced with technology. The cross tabulation looks at the

    learners comfort level. Again, most learners identified that they are comfortable to very comfortable with using

    technology. Only three learners identified themselves as being somewhat uncomfortable with using

    technology. Oddly those three learners also identified as using technology for a long time, so access totechnology is not a determinative factor to comfort

    level.

    This table clearly shows that nearly all of the learners are comfortable with uploading rich media to online

    social media sites. All of the respondents said that they use Facebook regularly and nearly half identified

    themselves as Twitter users. This says that not only have these learners had access to technology for a

    significant time but that they are comfortable with online tools.

    This table speaks to the ability of the learners to think about transferring the knowledge they already possesand applying it either to a new context and/or an educational context. Surprisingly, two thirds of therespondents said that they had never created online content before. Yet all of those same respondents

    identified themselves as regular Facebook users. This points to a low level of knowledge transference and

    highlights this as something that can be leveraged during the instruction.

    The survey also asked directly if users had ever used a blog previously. Only six of the eighteen replied in the

    affirmative, which means the majority of the learners will need detailed instruction on the principles of bloggingas well as the specifics of the platform to be used.

    Part 2b. Description of the Learning Context

    Part 2b.1: Learning context

    The instruction will take place in a computer lab setting where every student will have access to an

    individual networked computer. The material covered will be projected on a wall-mounted screen from an

    instructor computer to demonstrate the tasks to be learned. There will be approximately 20 students in the

    learning session. The course instructor will be there to answer language specific and content questions the

    students may have. After each section of instruction, the learners will replicate the material covered and any

    errors will be rectified. The students should be able to pick up the concepts fairly quickly as most are familiar

    with online content creation, as evidenced by the responses to the question about the use of social networking

    One of the challenges for the instruction is to find the balance between presenting the information quicklyenough for the more comfortable students to not feel talked down to or patronized and not going so quickly that

    the less comfortable students do not become lost. The motivations for all students are to be able to complete

    the portfolio as a requirement in their language instruction. This does not mean they will be motivated to use

    the blog platform in a portfolio context. During the instruction it must be made explicitly clear to the students

    that there is a why attached to the how of post creation. The biggest challenge for this project is to make sure

    that the students do not perceive the creation of their portfolio as busy work in order to make a grade.

    Part 2b.2: Transfer context

    The students will use the processes learned during the instruction on their own time and at a location oftheir choosing. Since the platform is web based, there is no requirement that would force the students to use a

    particular location. Furthermore, the learners will take away the knowledge learned during the instruction phaseand apply it at a later time, so the instructions have to be clear in the application. All 18 respondents of the

    needs analysis survey stated that they use at least one social networking site regularly. What the students didnot realize while taking the survey is that they are creating content online when they are using these sites.

    During the instruction this fact will be pointed out to the students. They should be able to transfer theknowledge they have about how to use these sites and apply it to their portfolio.

    Part 2c. Description of the Learners

    The learners are all students of third semester college level Spanish. All are native English speakers.

    The instruction for this project will be conducted in English. Since the learners are studying a second language

  • 8/13/2019 Clayton Mitchell's Final ID Project

    7/50

    7

    they will need to be able to input foreign language characters into their portfolios. The learners will have to

    understand either how to complete this on their own systems or be willing to utilize the language learning

    center. As these students are in their third semester of study of a language, even though this may be their first

    semester in college, they have a fairly high comfort level with the language of study. So requiring the students

    to demonstrate their language proficiency level, should not be much of a challenge for this group.

    Part 3. PlanningThe steps the students need to take to be able to complete the instructional goals are illustrated below.

    Part 3a. Learning Objectives (list)After 60 to minutes of instruction on the use of the OS X blog platform, students will be able to:

    1. Create a portfolio to contain their second language learning artifacts2. Manage the settings of their portfolio. Decide if their portfolio should be visible to only authenticated

    users or the world. Also decide if comments need to be moderated or to allow comments to be posted

    automatically. This is necessary for FERPA regulations.

    3. If students decide to make it private, they will apply settings so as to not lock instructors out

    4. Create posts within the portfolio5. Embed/link audio files into posts6. Embed/link to video files into posts

    7. Write expository material to describe why artifacts were chosen

    8. Use the blogs formatting tools to apply formatting to each post9. Create tags to further organize posts created

    10. Edit posts that have been created, if necessary11. Test to make sure that all materials chosen are visible by intended audience (authenticated users orworld)

    12. Post link to portfolio in Moodle database assignment

    ATTENTIONA.1 Perceptual ArousalProject the computer screen that the instructor is using to demonstrate the lesson.

    A2. Inquiry Arousal

    Recommend that the students follow along during the instruction. As ultimately, they will have to

    complete the task.

    A3. Variability

    Make clear it is okay at any point to stop and ask questions. Also stop at critical points in the

    lesson and solicit questions from the students.

    RELEVANCER1. Goal orientationExplain how the completion of the portfolio aligns with the requirement and learning objectives

    of the course.

    R2. Motive matching

    Explain that the completion of the portfolio is a significant part of the overall course grade.

    R3. Familiarity

    Explain that even though they may have never used this tool or even a blog previously, they

    have the skills to use the tool as most of the students have been using social media for a

    considerable amount of time.

    CONFIDENCEC1. Learning requirements

    Refer students back to the syllabus section that explains the language level goals. Explain how

    these goals align with the portfolio and the students artifacts within the portfolio.

    C2. Success opportunities

    Students will receive feedback from instructor after each portfolio entry. Students have the

    opportunity to re-reflect on the artifacts they use if explanation does not sufficiently address how

    the artifact meets learning objective.

    C3. Personal control

    Because this is a true portfolio, students choose what to include as artifacts within their portfolio.

    SATISFACTIONS1. Natural consequences

    Students will be able to look at their own learning process at a meta cognition level.

    Students will have gained the use of a new skill in using a blog platform.

    Students will be have a way to look at their work throughout the semester as a body of

    work rather than unconnected separate assignments.

    S2. Positive consequences

  • 8/13/2019 Clayton Mitchell's Final ID Project

    10/50

    10

    Students will have evidence of their learning that is visible to the world at large. What they are

    completing in class is no longer in the walled garden of the learning management system. They

    can share the work they are doing with parents, friends and relatives, as the blog they are using

    is accessible online.

    S3. Equity

    All students will be evaluated using the same learning objectives and rubrics

    Part 4. Instructor Guide

    OUTLINE FOR Instructor Guide

    Introduction

    Active Attention

    Make sure that the instructor desktop is projecting before the instruction begins. Tell students that the

    demonstration will explain how to complete the portfolio requirement for the course. Make sure you are logged

    into your Moodle course that contains the links to the portfolios.

    Inform Learners of Purpose

    Inform the students that the demonstration will cover the nuts and bolts of how to create the portfolio as

    well as how to add artifacts. Inform the students that artifacts chosen for their portfolio should be based on the

    language objectives outlined in the course syllabus. There are 5 linguistic objectives and 3 cultural objectives

    that the students must provide evidence of meeting. The artifacts in the portfolio are used to do this. Each

    student must explain which objectives the artifact is meeting, and why this particular artifact meets those

    objectives. Writing expository information in the post that contains the artifact does this. All expository writing

    about the artifacts is done in English. Inform the students that they do not have to submit one artifact per

    objective but, no single artifact can be submitted for more than two objectives.

    Stimulate Learners Attention/Motivation

    Invite students to follow along with the demonstration using their own computers. Allow the students

    enough time to get out the computers, log into the Moodle course, and find the relevant links to the portfolio

    site.

    Preview the Learning Activity

    Demonstrate what other students have done to complete their portfolios by going to the portfolio site

    and looking at other students work.

    Body

    Stimulate recall of prior knowledge

    11/50

    11

    Let the students know that if they have ever used any form of social media that they already have the

    skill set necessary to complete the portfolio.

    Present information and examples

    Go to http://wlc2.drake.edu/users, log on with your Drake credentials. This will create a portfolio for you

    This is where the bulk of the instruction will occur. Demonstrate how to: create posts, edit posts, manage and

    change settings, change templates, embed and attach media files, use tags as an organizational tool.Encourage the students to follow along as the process is demonstrated.

    Focus Attention

    Stop and ask if everyone has had a chance to log in successfully, help any students that are having

    problems. Ask if there are any questions so far.

    Employ Learning Strategies

    Stop the demonstration and solicit questions from students as necessary.

    Guide Practice

    Encourage students to make at least one post in class. Ask them to create a tag and apply that tag to

    the post.

    Provide Feedback

    Let the students know that if they were able to complete the steps that were covered in the

    demonstration, that they now know how to use the portfolio.

    Conclusion

    Summarize and review

    Tell students that this portfolio that they have created in class will be used not only for this semesters

    work but also for any class they may take in coming semesters.

    Transfer learning

    Remind the students that their first post must be completed in the next few weeks. Encourage students

    to create their first post with enough time left to get feedback before the end of the semester.

    Remotivate and Close

    Tell the students that you are looking forward to reading their posts and encourage them to start the

    process early. Remind them to post a link to their portfolios in the assigned database assignment in

    moodle.

    Assess Learning

    Look at the database assignment to verify that the students have created their portfolios. If a student

    does not have a link in the assignment, double-check the portfolios to see if one has been created.

    Part 5c. Technology Tool JustificationThe additional tools of instructional videos were created for this project. The videos will serve as

    reference materials to the instruction. The videos explain the same information that will be covered during the

    instructions period. Students will be able to review the videos as necessary if they can not remember how to

    complete a task or where the option for completing the task exists. The videos are hosted on YouTube in HDresolution so the students will be able to read text on the videos. The videos are then linked on a separate

    blog. http://wlc.drake.edu/instructionsThis blog concatenates the videos and presents them in the order theyshould to be viewed. Links to the blog posts containing the videos are also presented in the instructionalmaterials. These videos will allow the students to find the relevant information when they need it rather than

    having wait for an answer from the instructor. They can also serve as a place of first instance where students

    look for information before asking for more detailed information from the instructor.

    Part 6. Formative Evaluation Plan

    Part 6a. Expert Review

    The subject matter expert for this project will be the department chair for the language department. TheSME will review the materials in the next week. After a few days of evaluation, the SME will provide feedback

    of the efficacy of the instructional materials. The questions that the SME should answer are.! Do the given materials meet the stated goal

    ! Does the plan adequately address student motivation! Are the materials relevant to the stated goal

    ! Do the materials adequately address the needs of the instructor

    ! Do the materials adequately address the needs of the students! Is there anything lacking in the instructional materials

    ! What additions or clarifications need to be made to the materials to meet the stated goal

    Part 6b. One-to-One Evaluation

    Up to 5 students that would be willing to participate in a one on one training session. During this

    session, students will create their portfolios. At each stage of the instruction, the instructor will stop and ask thestudents if what was just covered makes sense to them and if they could recommend areas that could use

    clarification. Several questions that I would want answered at this stage are.! Does the instruction sufficiently explain the creation of the portfolios

    ! Does the instruction clarify the use of tags for organization! Does the section that explains the difference between embedding media and attaching media make

    sense

    ! Does the instruction fully explain how to change settings! What would like added that was not in the instruction

    ! What to you think if anything should be removed from the instruction

    ! What sections need clarification base on the instruction you were given

    Part 6c. Small Group Evaluation

    For this group up to 20 students could participate. After making any alterations based on feedback from

    the one-to-one sessions, the updated instructions will be given in a hands on session lab class session.Questions that need to be answered for this session are.

    ! Does the instruction sufficiently explain the creation of the portfolios

    ! Does this instruction make sense in a group setting! How could the instruction be modified to meet an deficiencies for the group setting

    ! Does the instruction fully explain the different settings for the portfolio

    ! Is enough time allocated to fully explain the portfolio settings and options

    ! Is enough time allocated for students to complete the task within the instruction period

    5. Do the materials adequately address the needs of the students?

    Yes. Students need to create and fill the portfolio in order to receive a passing grade for the course

    The materials are an excellent resource for students who may be relatively new to this process, a

    resource to which they can refer at any point in the process.

    6. Is there anything lacking in the instructional materials?

    No. As mentioned above, the materials were created methodically and logically. They provide a

    thorough step-by-step process for creating and filling the portfolio.

    7. What additions or clarifications need to be made to the materials to meet the stated goal?

    None. I found everything to be very clear. The objectives are clearly explained to both instructor and

    students. The means for fulfilling these objectives are complete.

    Part 7c. Comments on ChangeMinor structural and grammatical changes suggested. No significant changes required.

    Part 8. AECT Standards Grid

    Professional Standards Addressed (AECT)

    The following standards, developed by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), and

    COURSE GOALS & OBJECTIVESThe overall goal for the course is for each student to consider and use the systematic process of instructional

    design to create an instructional product. To achieve this goal, students will engage in activities that promote

    reflective practice, emphasize realistic contexts, and employ a number of communications technologies.Following the course, students will be able to:

    1. Discuss the historical development of the practice of instructional design with regard to factors that ledto its development and the rationale for its use

    2. Describe at least two reasons why instructional design models are useful

    3. Identify at least six instructional design models and classify them according to their use

    4. Compare and contrast the major elements of three theories of learning as they relate to instructionaldesign

    5. Define instructional design.

    6. Define the word systematic as it relates to instructional design

    7. Define learning and synthesize its definition with the practice of instructional design

    8. Relate the design of instruction to the term educational (or instructional) technology

    9. Describe the major components of the instructional design process and the functions of models in the

    design process

    10. Provide a succinct summary of various learning contexts (declarative knowledge, conceptual,

    declarative, principle, problem-solving, cognitive, attitudinal, and psychomotor)

    11. Build an instructional design product that integrates major aspects of the systematic process and make

    this available on the web.

    Tags allow you to sort information quickly. In this example I have selected the Spanish 001 tag and nowonly see three posts that have been tagged with spahish 001.

    It is also possible to sort by more than one tag. In this example I have sorted by both Spanish 001 and

    Fall 2011

    Notice that there is only one post that uses both of these tags.

    In this example there is a post for Fall 2011. If this person will add to their portfolio next semester, theycan create a Spring 2012 tag and apply this to the new posts.

    This will allow the viewer to sort the posts that have been created in the past and the posts they will becreating in the following semester quickly.

    How is this useful? Let's assume you have take a language for more than one semester. You will haveposts from a previous semester as well as posts from the current semester. You can very easily filterthose posts with tags, like in the example above. If at the beginning of the semester you were to give aURL like this to your professor, they could subscribe to your RSS feed for your portfolio for the semester.Then whenever you add a new post all you would have to do would be to tag the post accordingly andyour instructor would be notified of the updates to your portfolio. You could also send this URL to friendsor family and they could subscribe via facebook, or other reader and stay up to date with the work you areproducing.

    Powerpoints, Presentations, and online textbooks and class supplements.

    its necessary and very helpful

    Using technology to enhance the subject you are learning is a unique way to use it in an

    educational context. It can help one to better understand a certain idea as well as expand on

    the idea by searching others' opinions.

    It has a huge presence in our lives.

    I think of blackboard. Teachers using the programs on the internet to post homework and/or

    helpful material and host discussions,

    i think of the use of computers - whether going to a computer lab to take our Spanish exam,

    doing research, or PowerPoint presentations. Another use of technology is projectors hooked

    up to the teachers' computer in most every classroom.

    technology is very useful and used a lot when it comes to education

    I think of things such as doing homework online, or using programs such as microsoft office to

    do projects.

    I think of the use of microsoft programs and onine websites to suppliment classwork.

    Information or excercises on the computer that reinforce class content.

    computers, over head projector, smart board

    resourcesa and formation are easier to find and access

    Technology can be an aid or a hinderance when it comes to education.

    boringUsing sites such as youtube and moodle in order to supplement the class. In my high school we

    used the supersite as well.

    Less interactions with learning and more on self-learning

    Video chat, essays, blogs

    When I think of technology in an educational context, I think of professors that use Powerpoint

    or videos to teach instead of just lecturing.
