Domains Of Instructional Technology

Question 1

The five domains of Instructional Technology:

Answer 1

DDUME

1. Design
2. Development
3. Utilization
4. Management
5. Evaluation

Question 2

Define Instructional Design:

Answer 2

Instructional Design is a systematic process that is employed to develop education and training programs in a consistent and reliable fashion. Instructional design is a complex process that is creative, active and iterative.

Question 3

Why use Instructional Design?

Answer 3

Instructional designers believe that use of systematic design procedures can make instruction more effective, efficient and relevant than less rigorous approaches to planning instruction. The systems approach implies an analysis of how its components interact with each other and requires coordination of all design, development, implementation and evaluation activities.

Question 4

Define ADDIE:

Answer 4

1. Analysis
2. Design
3. Development
4. Implementation
5. Evaluation

Question 5

Describe ADDIE:

Answer 5

1. Analysis often includes a needs assessment.
2. Development includes preparing instructional materials.
3. Design includes writing objectives in measurable terms.
4. Implementation includes delivering settings for which designed.
5. Evaluation includes both summative and formative.

Question 6

Difference between summative and formative evaluation:

Answer 6

“Formative” collects data to identify needs for instruction revision. Summative collects data to assess overall effectiveness and worth of the instruction. Revision involves making needed changes based on formative evaluation data.

Question 7

Characteristics of Instructional Design:

Answer 7

1. Instructional design is learner centered.
2. Instructional design is goal oriented.
3. Instructional design focuses on meaningful performance.
4. Instructional design assumes outcomes can be measured in a reliable and valid way.
5. Instructional design is empirical, iterative and self-correcting.
6. Instructional design typically is a team effort.

Question 8

Define Instructional Technology:

Answer 8

Instructional Technology is the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management and evaluation of processes and resources for learning.

Question 9

Instructional design is learner centered:

Answer 9

Means learners and their performance are the focal points of all teaching and learning activities. Self and group study, technology based instruction and teacher based strategies are all options to be considered with result of all being a mix of options.

Question 10

Instructional design is goal-oriented:

Answer 10

Goals should reflect client expectations for the project and if met, ensure its appropriate implementation. Establishing well defined goals is central to the instructional design process.

Question 11

Instructional design focuses on meaningful performance:

Answer 11

Rather than requiring learners to simply recall information or apply rules on a contrived task, instructional design focuses on preparing learners to perform meaningful and perhaps complex behaviors including solving authentic problems.

Question 12

Instructional design assumes outcomes can be measured in a reliable and valid way:

Answer 12

Related to the issue of performance is creating valid and reliable assessment instruments. Reliability concerns the consistency of the assessment across time and individuals. Obviously, if the assessment is not stable, its validity is seriously compromised.

Question 13

Instructional design is empirical, iterative, and self-correcting:

Answer 13

Data collection begins during the initial analysis and continues through implementation. For example, during the analysis phase, data may be collected so as to compare what learners already know to what they need to know. Guidance and feedback from subject matter experts ensures the accuracy and relevance of the skills and knowledge to be taught. Data collected during formative tryouts identify needed revisions and data from the field after implementation indicate whether the instruction is effective.

Question 14

Instructional design typically is a team effort:

Answer 14

Although, it is possible for a single individual to complete an instructional design project (ID) project, usually it is a team effort. Most projects require a team that consist of a subject matter expert, instructional designer,production personnel, clerical support and a project manager. One person may have multiple positions.

Question 15

Over the years, a variety of different labels have been used, including such terms as, audiovisual instruction, audiovisual communications and educational technology. The term used most frequently is:

Answer 15

Instructional Technology

Question 16

The roots of the instructional technology field with the production of educational film during the 1920s:

Answer 16

There was a marked increase in the use of visual materials such as films, pictures and lantern slides in public education. These efforts were part of the “visual instruction movement.”

Question 17

During the late 1920s thru 1940s, there were advances in sound recordings, radio broadcasting and motion pictures with sound, the focus of the field shifted from:

Answer 17

Visual instruction to audiovisual instruction which continued with the growth of television thru the 1950s

Question 18

In 1963, the first definition to be approved by the major professional organization within the field of educational technology was published and it indicated the field was not simply about media. The definition was produced by:

Answer 18

Commission established by the Department of Audiovisual Instruction (now known as the American for Educational Communications and Technology), was a departure from the “traditional” view of the field in several important respects. First, rather than focusing on media, the definition focused on “the design and use of messages which control the learning process.”

Question 19

The 1963 definition given to what is now Instructional Technology identified a series of steps to be taken in designing the learning process:

Answer 19

The steps included planning, production, selection, utilization and management similar to several major steps associated with what become known as “systematic instructional design.”
