EDF211 - Instructional Design
Credits: 3 Catalog Description: In-depth analysis and use of a curriculum design model to achieve learning outcomes by systematically planning, developing, revising, and evaluating instruction. Emphasizes instructional strategies and media/technology selection for both distance learning and classroom formats. Includes the production or revision of a course or unit of study. Prerequisite: EDF201 or equivalent. Lecture: 3 hrs. Student Performance Outcomes: Upon satisfactory completion of this course, students will be able to perform the following at a "B" or higher level: 1.Based on the components of educational philosophy, students can examine their preferred teaching strategies and redefine a personal philosophy of instruction. 2.Given the taxonomies of Bloom and Fink, students can state intended student learning outcomes for a course or unit of study in a manner that fosters deep and enduring understandings. 3.Using research regarding learning styles and multiple intelligences, students can design developmentally appropriate instructional activities that consider the variety of learning preferences. 4.Based on state or industry standards, students can align objectives and activities of a course or program at a particular level of study with defined expectations for learning. 5.Based on national educational technology standards and performance indicators for teachers, students can develop a course of study that may be delivered in whole or in part through a web-based environment. This course objective has been identified as an outcome that must be formally assessed as part of the College's Comprehensive Assessment Plan. All faculty members teaching this course will collect the required data (see Assessing Student Learning Outcomes form) and submit the required analysis and documentation at the conclusion of the semester to the Office of Assessment and Special Projects.
