According to the Gannt Chart, the following items were due this week:
- CONTENT ANALYSIS - 100%
- Identify tasks for each instructional goal - 100%
- Assessment items; each objective w/ key - 100%
- Curriculum Map - 100%
Our team worked tirelessly this week - I put in over 28 hours alone and my teammates put in the similar hours. At first we began with the learning objectives and quickly realized that we should back up and write the curriculum map. Designing the curriculum map involved categorizing and sorting content from the Course Design Checklist.
The curriculum map when through many phases of revision:
After revising the map for clear tasks, the objectives and assessments were rewritten. Now, we are all happier with the content and we are moving forward with the project.
Just like last week, I realize how important reflection and revision are to the design process. I tend to think big picture first and narrow down my ideas to small, clear, bits over time. I think the process works for me but it can be very frustrating (and for others). The process works because I can keep the overall goal, audience, engagement in mind as I work through the process of design. This way of thinking is frustrating, because it requires me to go back and revise the details over and over until they are on target. Ultimately, the time put in is usually worth the end result.
I am also a self-directed, process oriented learner. As long as I know the goal, resources, and the due date I can get things done. I like to hash out ideas verbally but when it comes to getting the work done - I need to do the work in order to fully process my ideas.
Next week I will work on the following:
