4. Objectives
1. describe the designer’s role in materials development and instructional
delivery
2. describe factors that may cause revisions in media selections and delivery
systems for a given instruction
3. name and describe the components of an instructional package
4. list four categories of criteria for judging the aooropriateness of existing
instructional materials
5. name appropriate rough drafts materials for various final media
6. given an instructional strategy, describe the procedures for developing
instructional materials
7. develop instructional materials based on a given instructional strategy
5. Instructional Material
Instructional material is printed or any other media that is used to give
instructions and in return a student uses it to achieve a goal
6. The Designer’s Role in Materials
Development and Instructional Delivery
The Designer is the Materials Developer and Instructor as well
The instructional setting usually creates a one stop shop where the designer
is also the developer and teacher of the instruction
Examples include; lesson plans, syllabi, materials and instruction
7. Designer’s Role in Materials continued
Instruction is in given in three methods
Active Agent: instructor personally delivers instruction
Facilitator: designed to be delivered independently of the instructor
Active Agent/Facilitator: materials selected and adapted to their instructional
strategy
8. Describe factors that may cause revisions in
media selections and delivery systems for a
given instruction
With conditions changing across the board, there is a need to change the
delivery system and media selections
Three factors typically make up help determine these changes
1. Productions and implementation constraints
2. Amount of facilitation that the instructor will provide during instruction
3. Availability of existing instructional materials
9. Delivery System and Media continued
Availability of existing instructional materials
An example would be pre-recorded workshop on workplace bullying that can
be copied and distributed
Planned material sometimes has to have substitutes
Some materials can have alternatives when it comes to developing and
producing new and improved material
11. Components of an Instructional Package
After determining the delivery system and the media associated with the
delivery system then you must focus on the materials needed or create new
material and that includes specifications for your vision or system
12. Components of an Instructional Package
continued
Components that make up a package
1. Course Management Information - general description of the total
package that provides an overview of the materials also very important
2. Assessments – materials that are to be included objectives, tests and
product and performance assessments
3. Instructional Material – this material must contain content that is useful
to a student in order to achieve goals
13. Examples of Instructional Materials
Different groups of criteria that is to be used for planning material
Upon creating instructional strategy, then it is time to determine if material
can help achieve goals
15. name appropriate rough drafts materials for
various final media
Rough Draft Materials
Rapid Prototyping – process of using prototype approximations with software
design which test the application for specifications and this is a better way to
ensure success of a final product
Material Development Tools and resources – material that requires a certain skill
set and this skill set test how good the instruction are and the media is to be
updated more frequently to ensure that new developments have been updated
with the use of technology
16. an instructional strategy, describe the
procedures for developing instructional
materials
What is my instructional strategy? Learner analysis, identification of goals
and objectives
What budget do I have available? The cost of developing or adapting
material and the cost of maintaining the instructional material
What resources will I have on hand? Accessibility, and flexibility
17. develop instructional materials based on
a given instructional strategy
Learning Progressions - creation of instructional frameworks centered on
learning progressions
Instructional Materials for Students – the creation and substantial revision of
comprehensive curricula and supplemental instructional materials that are
research-based; enhance classroom instruction, preK-12; and reflect
standards for science, mathematics, and technology education developed by
national professional organizations
18. develop instructional materials based on
a given instructional strategy continued
Assessment – creation of tools for assessing student learning that are tied to
nationally developed standards and reflect the most current thinking on
developing resources
Applied Research – provides evidence for the effectiveness of materials and
feedback it also identifies possible new directions in instructional materials
and assessment
19. Lifelong Learner Summary
Being a lifelong learner the developing of instructional materials is quite
intense. This takes several steps that include development, production,
design and evaluation. During this process changes will come that will depend
on the delivery methods and media.
