PART 1 BA CKGROUND (TOPIC) AND ID MODEL
BACKGROUND (PART 1A)
This project was created for the purposes of training the 160 teachers
(hereafter, referred to as trainees) in the SC School District of Washington County to
use the Blackboard Learning Management system to supplement their teaching and to
support the learning of their students. Trainees will be trained in a computer lab
with broadband access with a timeframe of one to three hours and will include hands-
on activities including using the Blackboard Learning System with follow up activities.
This training is intended to be delivered in two workshops, of which the first is 120-
minutes, with follow-up activities, then the second workshop is 60 minutes.
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL (PART 1B)
Gustafson and Branch (2002) describe different models of instructional design.
One of the models described is a product-oriented model. This will work best as a
product needs to be developed, in this case, a training package. Also, a front-end
analysis has already been conducted and a determination of the need of the school
district has been decided to use a learning management system, Blackboard. The
only thing left to determine is how the district will use the product. Lastly, product-
oriented models assume that a technically sophisticated product will be produced in
the end. In this case, the need for instructional materials and a workshop is needed
by the school district.
The specific model chosen for this project is the Seels and Glasgow ID Model 2
(pictured below). This particular model was chosen because Blackboard the

implementation of Blackboard is a big project with many different tools and will be
implemented by another school district. Gustafson and Branch (2002) state that
product models are best when there is a need to develop an operator training
package to work with a new machine. In this case, the operators are the 160
trainees and the new machine is Blackboard. In this model, the need to determine a
problem (why the district has chosen to use Blackboard, and which tools will work
best to meet the needs of that problem) will help the district address any problems
their school district wants to attempt to solve with this learning management system.
The middle section will be used in this case for the workshop and can be used in the
future by the school district. In addition, the materials development comes after the
task analysis as well as a formative evaluation after the materials have been
produced. Also, the process is not linear and the model allows not only for
assessment of the learners, but feedback and interaction along the way. Finally,
there is an implementation and maintenance component that will fit well with the
implementation of Blackboard.

PART 2 ANA LYSIS OF THE LEARNING CONTEXT
The learning context includes several aspects that are in need of consideration.
First, there are 160 trainees that need to be trained on a system that has already
been procured, installed, and is available to trainees. The system is the Blackboard
Learning Management System. The focus of this learning context will address the pre-
workshop deliverables, the workshop itself, and follow-up activities by the trainees as
requested by the school district.
Prior to the training (the pre-workshop phase), an interview of the IT
department and/or administration will take place to ensure that the system is
properly installed and configured, making sure that all trainees are already enrolled
in training courses with dummy students enrolled in their classes. All trainees will
also need to have access to their real course shells where students have the ability to
login to the system. Trainees have a training facility consisting of 40 broadband,
newer computers where trainees will participate in hands on training. We will need
to determine whether these computers have browsers that are most compatible with
Blackboard, what Java Run-time Environment is installed on the machines, and what
type of access trainees have to a training environment.
Next, the actual workshop is part of the learning context. Due to the nature of
the change, we will use an innovation model of needs assessment, as the precipitating
events underlying this change, dictate that trainees will be required to learn
something new. The innovation model of the needs assessment will determine
additional information necessary to proceed with designing instruction. The needs

6/35

assessment will utilize a variety of ways to collect the data necessary to put the
context of learning into a more useable approach. This will include a determination
the learning goals that accompany this innovation, whether the goals are appropriate,
the priority of the goals, eventually describing a more realistic learning environment
for the workshop. Prior to the workshop, we will make these determinations to more
focus use of tools in Blackboard to address these needs with follow-up materials.
What we know at this point is that trainees will need to learn at the basics of
the new learning management system to use with their students. We will determine
that all trainees should be able to use the basic tools necessary to deliver a lesson on
Blackboard to their students. This will help focus the workshop. The follow up
training materials will focus more towards using additional tools of Blackboard to
more effectively meet the needs and goals of use of a learning management system.
As to the nature of the change, the administration of the Washington County SD
will need to clarify whether there will there be new policies with regards to the usage
of the Blackboard system by trainees? Does the usage of this system represent a
paradigm shift in the way instruction is delivered to students? In other words, will
more students be required to learn in an online environment or will the trainees have
more discretion, such as handpicked assignments, remediation, communication with
parents or something else? Depending upon the investigation into these questions,
then follow-up activities will be more extensive if necessary. This would include
obtaining funding to address the digital divide that most likely will be an issue for the
8/4/2019 EDTECH 503 - Instructional Design Project 1
7/35

6
institution; in other words, having appropriate access by both staff and students to
computers, a reliable internet connection, and the appropriate software.
As to the learning goals that accompany this innovation, administration will
need to answer the following questions in terms of their perception of and actual
change of learning goals of the organization. Will the usage of the tool be considered
in employee performance? Will this change what employees must know how to do or
understand? In other words, will all trainees be using the tool for the same purposes?
If so, what are these expectations? In other words, what tools will all trainees be
expected to utilize in the system? These questions will be determined by interviews
with administration and other means addressed in the learner analysis.
As to the appropriateness and priority of the goals, several key questions will
need to be answered by administration and district IT staff. What resources do
trainees have in their classroom? In other words, in addition to the 40 computers with
broadband access, do the trainees have computers in the classroom and/or at home in
which to utilize the system in other settings? What will trainees be expected to do
with their students in the system first? Does the classroom have computers for
students use, or will the students use a computer lab that requires scheduling of this
resource? Will students be expected to access the system at home and how will the
digital divide consider access to this system at home?
Answering the questions described in the previous three paragraphs will
address the over-arching questions that will come up during the implementation of
Blackboard and will need to be addressed by the workshop facilitator. At this point,

the learning context includes training of 160 trainees on how to use Blackboard the
new system with the goal for each of them to develop at least one lesson using
various tools in the system.
PART 3 ANALYSIS OF THE LEARNERS
PLAN AND RATIONALE
The plan of learner analysis will consist of assumptions, and where we cannot
make those assumptions, we will survey the trainees. The goal of the analysis will be
to gain as much information about the trainees sensory capabilities, cognitive and
affective characteristics, motivations, beliefs, values, and most importantly, specific
prior knowledge. The intent of gathering this information is to assist in writing the
objectives outlined in the next section as well as development of appropriate
instructional materials.
Since the audience is made up of trainees, assumptions in the learner
characteristics will be made. We will assume that all learners have the general
ability to read and write in the English language as they are trainees; therefore, some
learning of the system will take place on the system where trainees will be expected
to read and write with minimal technical terms (planned follow-up activities). We
will also make some assumptions about their computer aptitudes as entry-level skills.
Additional entry-level skills for trainees will be addressed in the task analysis section
that follows.

As to the unassuming factors that, gaining information about sensory
capabilities will enable us to decide what types of materials would be appropriate.
For instance, a person with a visual problem might need accommodations with
instructional materials being available in multiple font sizes or with less images
depending upon the problem. Obtaining information about cognitive and affective
characteristics will provide information about effective ways to deliver the workshop
and training material. More specifically, it will give insight as to how many examples
to provide, ways to present, and types of graphics to use. The beliefs, values, and
motivations will reveal information about the trainees where we can consider
activities that include ways to motivate trainees and helping trainees to understand
how technology can help their students. Finally, specific prior knowledge will reveal
how much scaffolding will need to be provided for the follow-up activities.
We will gather information about the trainees learning through a survey that
gathers data that will address those non-assumption aspects of learning. This will
help gear the learning tasks to fit their similarities and differences. Smith and Ragan
(2005) explain the importance of these factors as well as the single most important
factor being specific prior knowledge about a subject. The survey will reveal the best
plan of action for the objectives to be developed in the next section.

The responses to the surveys were 85% of the 160 trainees, or 136 total
responses. The responses for specific prior knowledge are graphed for reference,
where the rest of the sections are summarized.
As to the sensory capabilities, about 96% reported that they had no difficulties
with visual, auditory, or physical capabilities. Of the 4% of learners reporting
problems with their sensory capabilities listed above, 1 person reported having
difficulty with reading from a computer screen. Another person reported having
difficulty seeing from a distance. Two people reported problems visually
discriminating images on a computer screen. These trainees should be considered for
preferential seating during the workshop and be taught how to adjust Blackboard to
meet their visual needs.
As to various cognitive characteristics, 20% chose the lecture only option, while
95% indicated a need for pictures. Eighty-two percent stated that they like to
practice after learning. Twelve percent stated that they learn best by reading
independently. Ninety nine percent stated that they needed multisensory inputs to
learn best. Finally, only 5% chose other where they elaborated on how they use a
variety of ways to help them process information.
The table below summarizes the percentage of trainees that reported needing
examples, practice, or extra time when learning about computers. All three
questions were 5 point scales and the percentage includes those reporting at a 3 or
higher. This data should be considered when delivering the workshop that the
trainees will need extra time and practice as well as examples when using the system.

This data also suggests the need for a some scaffolding as a high percentage of the
responses indicated an overall need for practice, extra practice, and examples.
Providing a template for trainees to fill in for starters, rather than a blank class shell
could provide some scaffolding and help with time constraints that will be involved in
the initial two hour workshop. This template will be loaded into all training and real
class shells allowing teachers to fit the learning tasks into a framework that will allow
for time management, less of a need for practice, and provide a good example of a
class shell. The template will consist of a set of menu buttons with folders inside of
each menu item to provide a starting reference for insertion of content.
Figure 1. What teachers need when using computers
As to affective characteristics, a surprising 80% felt confident when using
computers in the classroom, while 22% percent reported having anxiety when learning
about using computers. This suggests that this same confidence could shine through
with the system, but consideration should be given to address the anxiety when these
other learners are learning about the system. This data supports the previous data in
the need for a scaffolded class. Trainees with this extra support will likely have much
less anxiety learning the system. The deliverer of the workshop should also consider

identifying the trainees that need extra support, and group them with another trainee
that has less anxiety and more confidence. Lastly, 19% reported being novice to
intermediate computer users while the other 81% reported being above intermediate
to advanced. This same 19% should be identified and grouped with more advanced
users.
As to values the chart below summarizes the value trainees put on the use of
technology to support and engage students in learning, more than 90% reported being
excited about using Blackboard to help their students learn. Positive results as high
as 76% percent believed that technology can engage students in learning, while 100%
believed that it can enhance students learning.
In addition there were varying opinions about common beliefs held about
online learning as follows:
Common Belief % of
Traineesin
Agreement
All students must know how to learn in this fashion 96%
Not all students can learn online 89%
Online learning can only work for specific types of learning 8%
Technology can never replace a teacher 100%
Teachers that use technology will replace teachers that do not 98%
Online learning lacks something that only the classroom can provide 89%
As to specific prior knowledge, the following graph represents the number of
trainees who had actually used similar web tools or performed similar web functions
to those available and commonly used in Blackboard:

PART 4 ANALY SIS OF THE LEARNING TASK
LEARNING GOALS
When given access to a blank Blackboard course shell with a default menu
trainees will develop, publish, make available, and grade a fake lesson for their
students consisting of an announcement, an assignment, a discussion board, and a 10-
question quiz.
When given access to a real course shell (all students fully enrolled) in
Blackboard, trainees will utilize a training course consisting of video tutorials and
links to specific areas of the Blackboard Instructor Manual, and develop a lesson to
use with their students consisting of an announcement, graded assignment, graded
discussion board, and graded assessment in Blackboard where all lessons are fully
graded using the Grade Center.
TASK ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
The tasks in both learning goals will be the same, but the later goal will not
take place during the workshop, but during follow-up activities and the second
workshop. During the first 120-minute workshop, teachers will participate as students
in each area, then create their own area by navigating back and forth between
classes. This approach will provide plenty of practice in navigating in the system. It
will also free up cognition from developing real content and allow for learners to be

15
focused on learning all of the tasks. It will also allow the trainees to produce a model
structure with which to create a real lesson (addressed in the second goal).
In an effort to address the varying degrees of usage and self-rating in the
previous section, we will be using a template-based learning. This is because there
was not overwhelming areas of expertise with prior usage of Blackboard.
The first workshop will focus on the trainees completing the tasks below with
the overall outcome being an example of how they will build their real class shells.
This workshop will be recorded with voice and screen capture, broken into parts as a
reference tool for the follow up activity. In between the first and second workshop,
teachers will build real content (learning goal # 2) using what they learned in the first
workshop, the Blackboard Instructor Manual, and video tutorials developed and made
available to them. During the second 60-minute workshop, feedback will be provided
and teachers will self-assess their learning using a rubric (addressed in assessment of
learning in next section). The diagram and table in the next section provides an
overview of the entire task analysis for the learning goals described above.
LEARNING TASKS AND OBJECTIVES
Given a class template with navigation, folders, and structure, trainees will
develop a lesson in Blackboard consisting of an announcement, posting of an
assignment, posting of homework, an upload area for student submission of
assignments, and an assessment.

OUTCOMES REVIEW
Goals 1 thru 6 address a variety of outcomes. Smith and Ragan (2005) list
various learning outcomes that should result from learning goals. These include
declarative knowledge, concepts, principles, procedures, domain-specific problem
solving, cognitive strategies, attitudes and psycho-motor skills. The table below
summarizes each of these diagrams and lists the learning goal that has this type of
outcome.

PART 5 ASSESSMENT OF THE LEARNING
Assessment of learning will be conducted in two fashions. First, a formative
assessment will be conducted at the initial workshop in the form of feedback,
observation, and post-workshop review of the content created using the rubric in the
next section. Feedback will be sent to each attendee participating in the workshop.
Second, since teachers are well versed in assessment practices, this would suggest
that they can self-assess their work. This self-assessment (considered the summative
assessment) will be based on the same rubric in the next section and will be part of
the feedback and question/answer session of the second workshop. Doing a self-
assessment (or peer assessment if the teachers decide to do so) should allow for many
questions about fine tuning each course and will allow for a good 60-minute round of
questions and answers.
