Instructional Design Activity: Lesson Design
Overall Instructor Rating: Satisfactory Ratings explanation:
Instructor's Overall Feedback: Your objective: Your objective is good, but I recommend that you add more details to this objective by adding a specific condition and behavior to go along with the learned capability verb "demonstrate" in your original instructional objective of “The student will be able to demonstrate how to conduct an advanced search with GALILEO”. To add specific behavior and condition, just insert the phrase "by [behavior]" at the end, and insert the phrase of “Given [condition]”, such as in this example: "Given a certain academic topic, SWBAT demonstrate how to conduct an advanced search with GALILEO by using various advanced searching restrictions such as keywords, publish year, journal name, author name, etc . (defined concept)" Recall the "recipe": "A-B-C, and maybe D, but definitely include the cap-a-bil-a-tee." ...which translates to: The student will be able to (Audience), Learned Capability, Behavior, Condition, and add Degree if it makes sense, and if you have the basis for determining this.

Your content presentation: You may want to let the instructor give students some step-by-step instructions in the content presentation part before letting the students to work on their own using the job aid. Otherwise the instructor will be exhausted because there will be so many questions from the students when they work on their own without being shown how this searching works. According to my experience of attending librarians’ workshop and my experience of teaching students web-related operations, it is usually important to show students what the whole process is like step-by-step first using a projector and at the same time ask the students to follow you by operating on their own computer. After this they can use the job aid as a guideline to work on their own topics. Learner participation: Very good. Your assessment: You may also want to be more specific in the assessment section: what are the criteria that students learned the advanced searching skills using GALILEO? How will the teacher check with the students’ searching process? Your media choice and rationale: I think the Internet here is also the media and it is for the whole five components. I agree with your buddy, your media choice is fine but maybe it could be more creative. For example, a pre-recorded video (most likely is a screen captured video) about using the GALILEO advanced searching skills can be a very useful and re-usable tool for students’ reference. Besides, the rationale of using paper-based job aid, is not quite reasonable for me. Because every time when you need to use this job aid, you must have been on Internet and ready to use the GALILEO. So it is not necessary to carry the paper-based job aid "anytime, anywhere", and I think maybe an online tutorial is more efficient since it will never be lost and it is easy to find.
The purpose of this activity is to design a specific lesson based on the lesson objectives identified in one of your unit instructional curriculum maps (ICMs). This IDA is designed to give you practice in planning lesson based on Gagne's events of instruction (see Dick, Carey, and Carey, chapter 8). Complete the instructional strategy planning sheet below for one lesson of your choice. Preferably, this is a lesson that you identified during the unit design analysis. However, you can choose any lesson you wish. As outlined by Dick, Carey, and Carey, it may be helpful to organize the events of instruction in the following major groups or components: Pre-instructional activities, Content presentation, Learner participation, Assessment, Follow-through activities. Your instructional plan should emphasize materials-centered instruction. That is, you should consider resources other than a live instructor for the delivery of the lesson. As you consider possible media, also consider the affordances, or special characteristics, that various media possess. Instructional Strategy Planning Sheet Write the instructional objectives of your lesson here (it can be more than one): Your final response: The student will be able to demonstrate how to conduct an advanced search with GALILEO The instructor's feedback to this step: No specific feedback given on this step.
Enter your instructional plan for each of the instructional components. Also indicate your media choice for each instructional component.
Provide a rationale for your media choices. How do the media you have selected support the instructional plan you have designed? Do the affordances of the media you've selected match the instructional strategy and support student learning? Examples of media affordances:
Your final response: The main media used in this lesson is a paper-based job aid that describes the procedures of conducting an advanced search with GALILEO. It is difficult for students to remember all the procedures just by attending one training session. However, with a job aid, they can easily go through the procedures when they need to do so. Also, as it is paper-based, not computer-based, they can carry it with them at anytime, anywhere.
