Introduction

The VISION Developer module

e FOCUS Learning Corporation

Facilitates the Analysis, Design and Development phases of the SAT (ADDIE) process.

VISION Developer supports:

• Analysis, Design and Development phases of the SAT process;

• efficient use and re-use of the data;

• and ongoing change management to keep it all up to date.

e

Objective


The VISION Developer module supports the following:

1. First, document the Analysis and Design phases of A-D-D-I-EThis results in an SAT database foundation for integrated programs.

2. Develop (or connect) course contentContent is stored as “learning objects” connected directly to objectives.

3. Generate exams, training materials and other productsCourse materials and exams are generated on-demand from the database.

5. Keep it all up to dateUse the data foundation links to pinpoint areas affected by change.

Main Idea- How it works

4. Share and re-use data objects across programsMinimize redundant effort, speed up development, lower the burden of change.

How a VISION Database is Organized

Projects and Work Areas

The flow of information

Interaction across projects

Introduction


Objective

Explain how a VISION database is Organized as projects and work areas.


Project 1

Project 2

Project 3

Project 4

Database

Work Areas

Analysis Objectives/Questions Program

Main Idea- VISION Database


A VISION database is organized as follows:

• The database is separated into projects.

• Each project can have three types of work areas: Analysis, Objectives/questions, Program

• Information “flows” from analysis, to objectives, to program.

• There can be many projects in a database.

• There can be more than one of any of the three types of work areas.

• Information can be viewed and shared across the projects.

Explanation- VISION Database


If you are planning how to organize a VISION databasefor your enterprise, an important part of your plan is how to separate

the database into _______ .projects

A project can be broken into three kinds of work areas. Name them:

How Data is Connected

The Instructional Design Foundation

How reports and documents are produced

Why this makes change management easier

Introduction


Objective

Explain how training information is connected within and across work areas.


1. Arranged in three areas: Analysis, Objectives, Program.

2. Connect JTA components to objectives (with drag/drop).

3. Create test questions directly linked to objectives.

4. Assign (link) objectives to lesson units (with drag/drop).

5. Result is a traceable audit trail from any aspect of the SAT data.

6. Extend the audit trail with cross-references (tables).

7. Develop content at the objective level as “learning objects”.

8. Use all of these connections to produce products from the database.

VISION data is connected as follows:

Summary

1. Conduct a systematic instructional design process to establish a database foundation for training programs;

2. Develop content as “learning objects” attached to the foundation;

3. Leverage the foundation to find, share and re-use content;

4. Generate training, testing and performance support products on demand from one integrated source;

5. and better manage change to ensure constant instructional design and subject matter integrity.

Introduction

The Purpose of an Objectives Hierarchy

• what an objectives hierarchy looks like• what it represents• why a hierarchy of objectives is important


Objective

Name four advantages of representing the learning objectives in a separate hierarchical structure in VISION.


Main Idea- Objectives hierarchy

1. transforms a “work-breakdown” structure into a “learning and qualification” structure;

2. provides a visual “roadmap” for chunking and sequencing;

3. gives us one central location: faster to find, share, re-use or change an objective;

4. preserves the learning order regardless of how they appear in lessons.

An objectives hierarchy:

Introduction

The Relationships Between Analysis and Objectives

• Instructional design perspective• VISION system perspective


Main Idea- analysis to objectives

The following relationships can exist between…

Direct: one to one

Consolidate: many to one

Elaborate: one to many

analysis components and objectives


Main Idea- analysis to objectives

The following relationships can exist between…

Indirect: Parent is Linked

No relationship

analysis components and objectives


Objectives can be “indirectly” linked to a task via their link to a parent objective, which is directly linked to the task.

Objectives can be “reverse linked” back to analysis components.

Links provide an important trail for later queries or audits.

Keep in mind:
