Chapter 5
Instructional Design for Distance
Education
1. Unit Model Topic: UMT approach is based on
best practices in course design and delivery.
2. Thread Discussion: Instructors post questions related to
reading, viewing, and or listening to assignments, then students post comments
in a discussion area.
3. Orienting Context: Students reason for being
in a course
4. Instructional Context: The learning environment
5. Transfer Context: How the knowledge will be used by
students.
6. Place-Shifted: Synchronous but are not in the
same location.
7. Time-Shifted:
Asynchronous, where students access the class at different time.
8. Course Management System: Learning management
system or virtual learning environments allow students to manage their classes,
assignment, activities, quizzes and tests, resources and more in an accessible
online environment.
9. Proprietary: Single vendor systems are
software products that are purchased or licensed from on vendor. (example
Blackboard)
10. Open Source: Free educational software that
are maintained by users who implement, modify, and support their system to meet
local, specific needs (example Sakai Project and Moodle).

Best Practices for Designing Distance Education and the
U-M-T Approach
This website
discusses the What, When and How to Instructional Design.
Selecting
Media in Distance Education
This website
discusses the different types of media and how and when they should be used.
Designing web-based instruction: A human-computer
interaction perspective
This website
discusses the design of web-based instruction from an HCI perspective,
raising issues which instructors and designers need to consider in the design
of web-based instruction and suggesting ways in which instructors and designers
can build optimal web instructional sites and pages.
Chapter Objectives
1. Explain why it is important to plan ahead when
teaching at a distance.
It is important to plan ahead when
teaching at distance to ensure that learning is taking place. Distance Education is also view as a system;
therefore there is a relationship among all components.
2. Describe a systematic design process for
instructional design.
The systematic design process consists
of the learner, the content, the method and material, the environment and
technology.
3. Describe the types
of learner information to be collected for planning.
Learner information collected for planning consist of ability of the
class, potential for learning interactivity, understanding learner
characteristics, understanding the orienting context, instructional context,
and transfer context.
4. Explain the decisions about content that
need to be made.
The content of a course needs to be
sufficient to ensure the entire learning experience will lead to the desired
outcome.
5. Explain why it is
important to examine teaching strategies and media.
It is important to examine teaching
strategies and media so that all the learners are actively engaged.
6. Discuss how
technology and resources influence the distance learning environment.
Technology and resources are very
important element of the learning environment.
Instructors must be aware how to use all resources effectively. Once students are able to use the resources
the instructor can then reflect on the quality of the lesson.
7.Discuss the
literature dealing with “best practices.”
The literature for best practice offer
guidance in the area of designing and
developing distance education.
8. Design a course
using the Unit- Module-Topic model.
3 credit course ; 9 units; 27 modules; 81 topics; 81 learning outcomes
9. Describe the process for assessment of learning
per
1 major assignment per unit and 1 minor
assignment per two or three modules.
As a Change Agent of Instructional Design for Distance
Education I will reassess my process of the systematic process to make sure I
take into consideration all the components of the model. To insure a successful learning systems, I
must include the learner, content, the method and materials, the environment, technology,
and evaluation.
As a Change
Agent I will be more aware about learner, such as the number of students in a
class, the nature of the audience, the social, cultural and economic background
of the students to create a quality learning experience. This will also provide me with a means of
providing more individualize instruction.
