Needs Assessment feedback -- Dbyrne (talk) 17:30, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

Hi Amy,

Your course is taking a really good form! You've made a clear connection between some broader goals for the course and it's applicability to a wide audience. A particular strength is incorporating the educational benefit and assessment of auditory learning. If you were to actually run this course (which you might for CASDA, or some other entity), you might want to also include a note about exceptional learners and the differentiation potential that these tools/embedding this technology can have.

Hi Amy,

It is clear that you're working hard to think through each of the components of your course. Excellent work so far! I think that I can help you can expand your learning objectives a bit more by recommending the ABCD model in the ID text (p.119). You currently have the Audience (A), and the desired Behavior (B), but you can add a bit more about the Conditions (C) and the Degree (D). I think you'll find that while you are in the process of building your modules, having your activities flushed out and listed in your Task Analysis will also be helpful to you. I noticed in your discussion posts that your course is self-directed (that was what I understood from your Instructivist approach, and your point that audio learning is not so interactive---although maybe you could set up some type of online discussion area (?)). Believe it or not, the Library of Congress (go to Teacher Resources) has an amazing archive of audio materials. You might find something there that piques your interest! http://www.loc.gov

I don't have additional feedback right now, except to say that your progress and work so far is excellent, and I am looking forward to looking at the course!
