Systematic Design

Criteria: Specify and sequence the anticipated learning and performance outcomes

Artifact: Learning outcomes document and the storyboard that I developed for an e-learning lesson I created regarding the sneakerhead culture

Reflection

For the competency of “Specify and sequence the anticipated learning and performance outcomes”, I am using a learning outcomes document and the storyboard that I developed for an e-learning lesson I created regarding the sneakerhead culture.  The learning outcomes document outlines the learning objectives, learning outcomes, and instructional needs to be addressed. The main objective was to give new sneakerheads a crash course in sneakerhead culture.

I chose these artifacts because they both provide guidance on an e-learning course that could offer more information to an aspiring sneakerhead. The learning outcomes document specifies the learning outcomes, which are supported by the learning objectives. The instructional needs address topics such as the rationale for the learning, the target learners, and the subjects to be covered. The storyboard provides a detailed description of the e-learning's structure and its alignment with the learning outcomes and objectives.

Working on this assignment was a new experience for me. Previously, I worked on e-learning, but I was on the content development side. So, doing the learning outcomes document was new. In my jobs, I've always been involved in the entire ADDIE process when creating instructor-led training. This assignment gave me the opportunity to practice that process in developing e-learning. Usually, by the time I was developing e-learning, I was creating the storyboard and developing the product. In this assignment, I contributed to developing the learning objectives and overall learning outcomes. I conducted analysis and provided comprehensive input on the design and development of the e-learning in terms of learning outcomes.  

This experience provided a broader perspective and the opportunity to practice the entire ADDIE process (specifically the Analysis phase) for e-learning.  In this project, I had the opportunity to develop the learning outcomes and objectives rather than adopt preexisting ones, and to develop a product with no input.
