Instructional Systems Design
Communicating and organizing a clear plan for instructing others on ways to complete a task was the main objective of Instructional Systems Design. This course really made me think about the steps involved in completing a task and being very detailed in the way that I communicated those steps. It stepped me through the process of analyzing the materials and facilities that would be necessary when instructing others on a specific task. I then had to identify and make evaluation tools and surveys to determine if the process was beneficial. I found that by breaking down the steps and being very deliberate about including each step, I was able to gain knowledge that would be necessary to instruct others.
This course not only taught me about designing, but it also gave me the chance to collaborate with others. The group that I worked with was very codependent, in that what one member included in the plan was used by another member to complete a different part of the plan. We also collaborated using Google docs which helped me to become more familiar with this tool. I had to problem solve in order to create and insert a drawing which is something I had not done with that program in the past. Working with others to create and design an instructional system that can be used with my staff was a very valuable experience.
