Create an instructional strategy : What is the material with which students will engage, to learn the content of the course and achieve the objectives? This includes any reading material, lectures, projects, worksheets, discussions, activities, and assessment. As suggested by Dick and Carey the instructional strategy includes defining the: ● pre instructional activities that will motivate students, communicate the objectives, and show them the relevance of instruction with the real world and their own goals. ● presentation of the content that needs to be concise, in line with the objectives, including detailed examples. ● learners’ participation, specifically the tasks they will practice and the feedback they will gather ● assessment, including the formative and summative assessment of learners’ skills, attitudes, and satisfaction ● follow-up activities that will allow the leaners to review what have learned, promoting self-reflection and metacognition. In the ADDIE model, the design is followed by the Development phase where we: 1. Create a sample of the instruction , a prototype, based on what has been described during the design phase. This can be evaluated by external or internal evaluators at the University. 2. Develop the actual course material based on the instructional strategy defined and the sample of the instruction. 3. Conduct a run-through, a “rehearsal” of the instruction , experimenting with participants who can provide you with feedback. Then we actually implement the instruction. During Implementation , we: 1. Train/prepare the instructor . This is applied in cases where the instructional designer, engaging with the design of the course, and the instructors are not the same person. In many universities those who teach the course are also the designers/developers. In any case, this is the step where the instructor is prepared (either on his/her own or by the instructional designer) about the official delivery of the course. 2. Train/prepare the learners about the instruction, ensuring that enrollment is completed, they meet any prerequisites for attending the course, and they are familiar with or even trained on how to use the digital tools and LMS.
