Download - Instructional Design Overview
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
John Dewey
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
Bill Gates
Men have become the tools of their tools.
Henry David Thoreau

Why do we need instructional design?
• Modal shift• Competing interests• Learning from learning• Students at the center• Goals-aligned movement• Quality is the real frontier• Improve communication across partners
quality is the real frontier
• holistic course design• student interactive modes / group learning• improved instructional technique, delivery• flipped classrooms• data-driven instruction• multiple learning paths
Understanding by design framework(first 3 of 7 tenets)
1. Learning is enhanced when teachers think purposefully about curricular planning. The UbD framework helps this process without offering a rigid process or prescriptive recipe.
2. The UbD framework helps focus curriculum and teaching on the development and deepening of student understanding and transfer of learning (i.e., the ability to effectively use content knowledge and skill).
3. Understanding is revealed when students autonomously make sense of and transfer their learning through authentic performance. Six facets of understanding—the capacity to explain, interpret, apply, shift perspective, empathize, and self-assess—can serve as indicators of understanding.

How it is done?design methodology
IDEO, design methodology, 2013
Stage 1• Begins as a conversation: modal change– Hopes, desires– Trade-offs
• Who is your target audience?• What are the overarching goals of your course?
What are the essential questions you and your students will ask?
• At the end of your course, what will students have achieved
Adapted from Understanding by Design Framework, ASCD 2013
Stage 2
• Design assessment methods for goals• How will this be measured? • Assessment types– Formal and informal– Formative, summative
Adapted from Understanding by Design Framework, ASCD 2013
Stage 3
• Select pedagogical methods that will best suit these goals as well as content type
• Plan activities and design based on these goals• Recognize technologies that can assist these

Where does this fit edX?
Complex systems theory
At UPS, the average driver makes about 120 deliveries per day, …To figure out how many different possible routes that driver could travel, just start multiplying: 120 * 119 * 118 * . . . * 3 * 2 * 1. The end result, Levis likes to say, far exceeds the age of the Earth in nanoseconds.
Education and Variability
• Complex systems• This is the case in the universe. • Education itself is a variable term• There is no perfect course, or even perfect
lesson.
• civic engagement• skills development• moral / ethical development• critical thinking• literacy
“Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself.” John Dewey

Brain of learner with autism
Affective networks that monitor the internal and external environment to set priorities, to motivate, and to engage learning and behavior.Recognition networks that sense and perceive information in the environment andtransform it into usable knowledge.Strategic networks that plan, organize, and initiate purposeful actions in the environment.
