Reflections on the Knowledge Society » Intro to Pearson’s OpenClass Last night, I followed a short webinar by Pearson introducing their cloud-based OpenClass learning management system (LMS). At first sight it looked good, lean and easy. The webinar used Cisco’s webex, but was painful because audio could only be received via a telephone call-in, which, from countries other than the US frankly isn’t economic. With so many other online webcast solutions available, this was probably the worse choice they could take. Anyhow, back to OpenClass. In total, the platform looks and feels like a mix between Twitter and Google Docs, embedded in a Moodle-style organisation structure. However, I did not get a clear response on enterprise functionalities. My impression was that the tool, or at least the webinar demo, was very much geared toward individual teachers deciding to hop into the cloud with their classes. OpenClass could be a longer term game changer if hosting courses in the cloud becomes a trend.
Instructional Design Models & Theories | Instructional Design Central Instructional Design Models and Methods "Models, like myths and metaphors, help us to make sense of our world. Whether derived from whim or from serious research, a model offers its user a means of comprehending an otherwise incomprehensible problem. An instructional design model gives structure and meaning to an I.D. problem, enabling the would-be designer to negotiate her design task with a semblance of conscious understanding. Models help us to visualize the problem, to break it down into discrete, manageable units. The value of a specific model is determined within the context of use.

The eLearning Guild: Community & Resources for eLearning Professionals ADDIE Model - InstructionalDesign.org The ADDIE model is the generic process traditionally used by instructional designers and training developers. The five phases—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—represent a dynamic, flexible guideline for building effective training and performance support tools. While perhaps the most common design model, there are a number of weaknesses to the ADDIE model which have led to a number of spin-offs or variations. It is an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model. Instructional theories also play an important role in the design of instructional materials. In the ADDIE model, each step has an outcome that feeds into the subsequent step. Analysis > Design > Development > Implementation > Evaluation Analysis Phase In the analysis phase, instructional problem is clarified, the instructional goals and objectives are established and the learning environment and learner’s existing knowledge and skills are identified. * Who is the audience and their characteristics?
Authoring Tools- The DevLearn Experience Last week, I attended DevLearn. I readily admit that I was unsure what to expect. I knew that its core audience would be instructional designers and e-learning developers. I suspected that the expo would feature a large quantity of rapid content authoring tools. From products that ranged from the latest versions of RCATs to new vendors in the space, including text to speech. I was enthralled. Anyone for Avatars? Everywhere you looked, someone was incorporating avatar characters. While most people were oohing and awwing over Articulate’s Storyline, virtually no one was checking out Sh! Not only was it doing the new “avatar” experience, similar to Storyline, but when you recorded your audio, they claimed it would synch up to the character’s lips – that is right, real synchronization. In the demo at their booth, they readily showed numerous avatars, and it would have been very cool to see the true synch experience – something that Storyline cannot do.

An Outline For Creating An Instructional Design Document An eLearning course is developed through the combined efforts of Instructional Designers, learning designers, multimedia developers, technology experts, Subject Matter Experts, and project managers. When you have so many stakeholders involved, how do you ensure that the project stays on course and does not lose its focus? What is the single document that binds all the people involved to work toward a common goal? The Instructional Design Document functions as a single reference point that guides multiple stakeholders as they perform their individual tasks related to developing an eLearning course. What Does An Instructional Design Document Do? The Instructional Design Document provides a framework that guides all key individuals involved in the eLearning development process. An Instructional Design Document answers questions such as: What is the purpose of the course? Additionally, it also specifies the overall course structure and detailed outline for individual modules. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
