Week's Summary
This week’s focus was on the design portion of the ADDIE model.
The design phase will help us with the development of our course outline assignment.
During this phase curriculum developers design assessments, choose the course
format, and create an instructional strategy. When designing assessments the
instructor must consider the goals, learners, context, and assessments. The
course format is the medium by which the course is presented to the learners.
My course format for the course design assignment is a blended course. The
class will meet every other week. The instructional strategy is the collection
of lectures, readings, discussions, projects, worksheets, assessments, and
activities to help the students learn the content. There are 5 major learning
components of the overall instructional strategy: pre-instructional
activities (use motivation), content presentation (concise
content/examples), learner participation (practice and feedback), assessment
(final assessments/practice assessments/attitude assessments), and
follow-through activities (review/internalization). All of these points will be
in our end product for the course outline assignment.
Item of Interest
I was worried about how I am going to be able to make my class
be skilled in learning the different tape jobs that an athletic trainer needs
to know. I think I can accomplish this by using a video and a web conferencing
section of the class. There is Blackboard Collaborate, which could be very
useful. I also will provide many example videos to show them how to
preform each specific tape job and the different steps for each of them. There
are also several apps or websites that can be useful. Most everyone has a
smartphone where they can download these apps. One is called todaysmeet.com,
which is kind of like a discussion board where everyone can go to (which I
provide them the correct link so they can access my class discussion). There
are also different ways we will be able to communicate if they are having
trouble or have questions.
Concern or Problem
One
concern of mine is how I can assess the student’s progress other than the face-to-face
meetings. I want to include weekly assessments to monitor the progress of each
student. Maybe each week that they are suppose to be practicing taping they
must record themselves preforming the tape job on someone and send it to me to
see if they need to work on a certain technique/step.
