- Select a learning theory that applies to the instructional design of the project. Provide a rationale for your selection.
- Determine three (3) learning theory principles and specify how they apply to your project.
- Examine the information gaps that still exist within the project. Determine the information that would be necessary in order to complete the project more effectively. Provide a rationale for your response.
- Specify the next steps to complete the delivery of the instruction. Identify final preparations needed such as the location, resources, equipment, transportation, and food.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
- Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
- Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
- Design an instructional product that integrates analysis, design processes, and assessments to address an instructional problem.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric
.
The following are notes for assignment 3 instead of making a video so it’s important that you read this entire message and note the instructions I give below regarding this week’s written assignment. Do not complete the assignment without reading my instructions below. There will be no second chances with the assignment if I grade you down for not following my instructions below with this major assignment worth 260 points (pay close attention to all the highlighted areas below).
This final project must be between 15 -20 pages and will include all the following: If any of the items I listed below are missing from your paper the grade will suffer and there will be no retries for this assignment.
Compile the previous assignments and:
- Create a quarter-page (1/4) informative abstract for your final project.
- Revise your “Project Analysis and Instructional Objectives” Assignment, incorporating any feedback that you received.
- Revise your “Design Processes and Delivery Strategies” Assignment, incorporating any feedback that you received.
Then you will write six – eight NEW pages in which you: (Everyone knows what NEW means)
- Create an evaluation plan that clearly correlates to the three (3) instructional objectives you developed in Assignment 1. Specify the measures that best fit each objective.
- Prepare a five- (5-) question test that correlates with the learning objectives from Assignment 1. Design the test so that it reflects multiple levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
- Determine the type of evaluation approach that is most appropriate for your project. Provide a rationale for your selection.
- Select a learning theory that applies to the instructional design of the project. Provide a rationale for your selection.
- Determine three (3) learning theory principles and specify how they apply to your project.
- Examine the information gaps that still exist within the project. Determine the information that would be necessary in order to complete the project more effectively. Provide a rationale for your response.
- Specify the next steps to complete the delivery of the instruction. Identify final preparations needed such as the location, resources, equipment, transportation, and food
Note: In this assignment, I expect to see all the level one headers from assignment one and two then the new level one header’s for assignment four to correspond for the assignment topic’s instructions.

Needs Analysis to Enhance Technology in Schools
There are many advancements in technology that need to be implemented in the education sector. They may help to enhance the relationship between students and their teachers while making the learning process fun and more meaningful. Technology has made life easier and better in many other aspects of our lives, however, when it comes to education, people often hesitate to implement it. However, it is believed that the implementation of technology can greatly improve the quality of education while preparing students for the real world. Due to lack of technology implementation in teaching, many students end up not being technologically savvy causing them to have a hard time when they get to the job market. This leads to many losses since vast resources have to be utilized to help them to learn the technologies that are being utilized. With the implementation of technology in teaching, the students will get to the job market aware of the existing technologies hence eliminating the need for training. There are many obstacles to the implementation even in areas where it has been proposed. The major obstacles include lack of experts that are able to implement these technologies and poor or total lack of integration plans. Therefore, there is need for this sectors to be catered for to ensure that the project is implemented successfully in the schools. This discrepancy further indicates that there is need to have a well laid plan with appropriate technology leadership to ensure adequate implementation of the project (Vatanartiran & Karadeniz, 2015).
Learner Characteristics
The learner characteristics for this identified need are varied depending on the age group it is being implemented in. Some types of technology have found their way into the class room, in addition to e-learning, electronic whiteboards, tablets and computers are also used within the classroom environment. The education system is struggling with an increase in the number of students and this further emphasizes the need to implement technology in education. To implement this, first people need to understand the technological knowledge possessed by the students. Basic knowledge on the use of either a computer or a tablet is important in the implementation of this project. There is also need to come up with appropriate ways of assessing the students if learning is taking place using the technological advancements. Instructional designers are very important in the implementation of the project as they are equipped with skills to analyze all the factors involved and come up with a system that is appropriate and beneficial for the students (United States department of education, 2017).
Instructional Objectives
The implementation of technology in education aims at achieving set targets for the students. In the cognitive domain, it aims at improving the application of learned concepts in real life situations. This will assist in the transformation from the classroom into the workplace since the students will already have had experience on what they will be working with. This can be achieved through collaborative learning rather than the traditional learning method where the teacher instructs the students. In the behavioral domain, the implementation of the project aims at improving the perception of objects or events by the students. Technology allows for a level of independence by the student especially in the case of e-learning. The students become more independent as they have to plan their time to complete the assigned work within the specified time. In the affective domain, it aims at getting the students exposed to technology consequently creating a good impression towards it. This is an important objective since technology forms a major part of our daily lives and it is important for the students to have positive attitudes towards it early. This will enable them to adapt better in their lives outside school and consequently become more productive individuals in the society (Clark, 2015).
