Drupal is complex. Instruction is complex. instructional design for Drupal is super-complex, and needs to use a model for complex learning. This session will lead you down the best path for tackling this task.
"The best?" you ask,
I reply with confidence, "Yes, the best. The science indicates as much (Sweller, 2003)."
I am an instructional designer. I design academic programs to achieve societal outcomes. Ex: Improve the school-related outcomes in the lives of the children in which our graduates serve as principals (or teachers). This session will teach you to start there, follow a focused strategy, and answer the big and small questions associated with your learning tasks. Is the strategy for each course based on the best current evidence from practitioners in the field? Is the course design based on similarly strong science? The societal outcome of this session (and related efforts) is to improve the quality of training built by agencies through the use of the 4C/ID model.
The 4 Components are:
- Learning Tasks
- Supportive Information
- Procedural Information
- Part-Task Practice
This session will teach the process I use for designing academic programs based on the Four-Component Instructional Design (4C/ID) model. In their book, Ten Steps to Complex Learning: A systematic Approach to Four-Component Instructional Design, Van Merrienboer & Kirschner (2012) provide the field of instructional design with its most compelling, effective model to date, and I plan to bring that to Drupal, starting with this session.
I have seven years in higher education following two as a teacher. I love liberty, the music of 311, baseball, ID, and Drupal, each less than my family.
