Instructional
Design for K - 12 Educators
Welcome to our class. We will be focusing on utilizing technology-based
instructional materials.
The heart of education is in learning materials. How do teachers
develop instructional content for their classes and plan highly
interactive lessons? The challenge is to create meaningful
resource-rich learning experiences.
This class will examine every aspect of designing instruction
that is learner-centered and technology-based with criterion-referenced
assessment.
In this class, participants will create authentic and motivating
learning activities utilizing technology. Your instructional
plans will be based on your subject matter, your students,
and your district's curriculum goals and standards. The concept
of designing materials through Instructional Design will be
analyzed, and you will develop a unit of instruction that
you will be able to immediately implement in your classroom.
Participants will analyze WWW resources and have opportunities
for Web-based interaction, collaboration, and communication
that extend the boundaries of the classroom. The class is
designed for K-12 teachers, student teachers, administrators,
media specialists, and curriculum consultants. Cooperating
teachers and student teachers may participate as learning
partners.
Conducted completely online with no face-to-face class sessions,
this class allows you to participate from your home or school
computer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
