Systematic Instructional Design Project

Designed For: LDT 415: Systematic Instructional Development
Made With: Canva Design Software
Framework: Dick and Carey Instructional Systems Design Model (1978)
Time in Development: 10 Weeks

Inspiration

In the summer of 2015, an impromptu budget-airline trip to Barcelona made a fun way to send off my pre-grad school life in style. While it’s tough to spoil a Mediterranean sojourn, inefficiency at the airport on return unnecessarily introduced a shade of stress to the journey.

One of my first courses in the Learning, Design, and Technology program introduced Instructional Design as a systematic process. In meditating on the interdependent nature of systems and environments, I found the airport to be one system of which the users might benefit from a little training.


Process

As this was my first real practice in Instructional Systems Design, I followed the Dick and Carey process (1978) quite closely in developing this 20-minute module.

Throughout the research, design, and development process, I followed an iterative process that emphasized:

Careful planning before development:

  • Identify Instructional Goals (1)
  • Conduct Instructional Analysis (2)
  • Analyze Learners and Contexts (3)
  • Write Performance Objectives(4)

Building and testing in chunks

  • Develop Assessment Instruments (5)
  • Develop Instructional Strategy (6)
  • Develop Instruction (7)

User testing the minimum viable product

  • Design and Conduct Formative Evaluation (8)
  • Revise Instruction (9)
