Design Process

Throughout my teaching career, my design process for instructional delivery, classroom activities, and learning tasks has never followed one specific model, but instead could be mapped onto a variety of them. This project draws on these models for the:

  • evaluation of classroom technology integration (SAMR)
  • design of specific learning tasks based on:
    • content to be learned (Gerlach & Erly)
    • learner needs and characteristics (ASSURE)
    • desired learning outcomes (Backwards Design)
    • learning challenges (Design Thinking)
  • design of overall curriculum (Kemp)
