Text design
Designing a concise, strategic set of materials is critical for the success of the instructional design. When aligning instruction with materials, there are several factors that have to be addressed for the instruction to be the most effective. By doing a project based on the introduction of useful technology, there are many options for materials to include in the instruction.

I will utilize the preinstructional strategies as a foundation to create my resources. The resources needed for the message design are:
  • Pretests
    • I will design both a pre and posttest to first assess the knowledge base of my learners, and second to assess the learning that took place in the continuum during the instructional process.
  • Behavioral Objectives
    • I will design behavioral objectives that are measureable and observable. These objectives will be clearly stated at the onset of instruction and will be used as a tool to make the learners aware of the expectations of learning.
  • Overviews
    • I will use the overviews to prepare the learners for the learning tasks. During this section, I will use facts and concepts as the focus of instruction.
  • Advance Organizer
    • This tool will be used to create the conceptual framework needed to clarify content for the learner
  • Other resources: handouts, PPT, task cards

Using the sequencing process strategically will allow the instruction to flow, and the learning will move through a continuum for the learners. By tailoring our instruction to the needs of our learners, we will be able to effectively use our instructional design.
