Instructional Design and Learning Theories

My Learning Objects:

 

This course was my first real introduction to the world of insturctional design (ID).  I encountered new theoretical frameworks that would guide me on my journey toward becoming an instructional designer.

 

Several of the ID theories or models I learned in this course include:

  • Gagne-Briggs Model 

    • The nine instructional events focus on mastery of content.  The nine are: gain attention, inform learners, recall prior learning, present stimulus, provide guidance, elicit performance, provide feedback, assess performance and enhance retention and transfer.

  • Dick and Carey Model

    • Utilize a systems approach for the design of instruction

  • Gerlach and Ely Model

    • Based on strategies dealing with the selection of media witin instruction

  • ADDIE Model

    • Based upon the five phases for building effective design: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation.
