Describe the importance of predetermined objectives and delivery methods of instruction prior to selecting course activities and assignments. Predetermined objectives and delivery methods are critical to the success of learning outcomes and pedagogical approaches in instructional design, and specifically in blended learning environments. This weeks reading emphasized the importance of this even further for me.Continue reading “Predetermined Objectives and Delivery Methods in Learning Outcomes.”

Reflection-Project B
As I work towards finalizing my project B assignment, I am analyzing the principles of multimedia learning that I am incorporating into the project, in order to enhance learning outcomes. There are three assumptions about how people learn, according to Richard Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) (Mayer, 2015). These three assumptions are :Continue reading “Reflection-Project B”
Week 14 Reflection Method of Loci – Take Two
In this weeks’ effort to sit quietly, and practice the Method of Loci, I took a different approach. The first time that I attempted this exercise, I was too literal with my visualization. I couldn’t separate my vision of the place that I was thinking about, from the exercise that I was working through. MyContinue reading “Week 14 Reflection Method of Loci – Take Two”
Self-Regulation
What does it mean to manage/regulate yourself (self-regulate) and others during learning experiences? How does it bring you towards goals? How important is communication in this process and what helps/impedes it? Self-regulation is a critical component to the learning process, and a pivotal aspect to finding balance for successful outcomes in all areas of life.Continue reading “Self-Regulation”

I would have never imagined that a coronavirus, of this magnitude and mystery, would be sweeping through, continent after continent, wreaking havoc on thousands of people’s lives. As I wake each morning, over these past couple weeks, I find myself taking longer to baskContinue reading “COVID 19”
Reflection: Method of Loci
I struggled with this process. That shouldn’t be the case, I’m a visual person, so this should come easy for me, but somewhere in the intricate wiring of my mind, my brain drifts off into the need to decorate the areas that I’m visualizing. The Method of Loci is based on the idea that youContinue reading “Reflection: Method of Loci”
(ID) and Me
A simple question, “What do I think about Instructional Design so far?” This seems like a simple and benign question to pose, but as I reflect upon this, I find that it’s a much more complex topic. I came into this degree with a basic idea, that I would be incorporating technology into the learningContinue reading “(ID) and Me”
Analysis + Design
As I reflect back upon the past couple weeks in class, our course objective has been the process of analyzing a clients’ needs for an instructional design project. I have felt challenged by this step in the process. It hasn’t been a challenge with presenting a concept, finding an issue, or proposing potential solutions. MyContinue reading “Analysis + Design”
Personal Theory of Learning
Learning is the cognitive process of inputing, rehearsing, and retaining various bits of information to be stored in our long term memory. It is built upon by use of tools, techniques, theories, and prior experiences, throughout our lives. As we go through each day of our life, we are inundated with information about various “things”,Continue reading “Personal Theory of Learning”
