Course description and aims

Students learn the basic knowledge necessary of instructional technology for the design of lessons, instructional materials, and educational ICT systems while understanding the latest related research trends.
In order to learn instructional design techniques through experience, the course will use both the IAG system, an e-learning platform for developing effective instructional materials, and PowerPoint to completing exercises of each class.
Students will also organize their results on developed instructional materials as research papers, and make presentations.

Student learning outcomes

Students are required to achieve following objectives:
1) Understand evaluation viewpoints of educational technology research and methods for creating original and valuable themes in educational technology research through literature reviews.
2) Explain procedures, ways of viewing and thinking, and internal knowledge necessary for performing better research as well as the reasons of their necessity, based on "warp and woof model of problem solving" and exercises in instructional material development.
3) Explain student models and communication strategies useful for designing lessons and instructional materials, and methods of formative and summative evaluation for instructional materials and educational practices.

Keywords

Instructional technology, instructional design, ID process model, learning science, teaching and learning process, taxonomy of educational objectives, student model, meta-cognition, ways of viewing and thinking, dimensional analysis, nine events of instruction, ARCS model of motivation, GBS theory,

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

- Students are required to study each e-learning material and complete the exercise before attending the class. At the beginning of a class, a knowledge confirmation test is conducted. After its answer is explained, mutual assessment, discussion about the pre-exercise, and/or exercise to develop an e-learning material is performed. Students are assigned homework for each exercise class.
- Students are required to inform own m-domain e-mail address before April 8th at noon to grad-ask[at]et.hum.titech.ac.jp.
