Final Instructional Design Project: ePortfolio and Target Setting Google Site

In the ePortfolio site below, the instruction materials for the ID project are built and presented in the Help page. The other pages in the site are for the students to use for their evidence and it is the instructional materials in the help page that provide them with the info they need to edit a Google Site.

Videos were built in alignment with Multimedia Design Principles (Clark, R. C., & Mayer, R. E. (2008)), and the pace of the YouTube demos are appropriate and uses an appropriately “conversational” style.

View the full site here.

Keller's ARCS Motivation Model

Keller's ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction) is a pedagogical framework, that can be used in conjunction with other frameworks, to enhance the motivation of a learner through intrinsic and extrinsic motivations.

Larson and Lockee (2014, p. 170) highlight that ARCS is an acronym that provides a guide for designing instruction:

  • Gain and maintain the learner's Attention;
  • Provide Relevance to make the connection between the instruction and the learner's personal learning goals explicit;
  • Encourage the right amount of Confidence in the learner so that they make sufficient effort to learn the material; and
  • Satisfy the learner that their needs will will be met by completing the instruction.

Grant 1.4 - Final

The final grant proposal has developed from a series of submissions and reviews of each section of the proposal document. The feedback from the instructor has led to continuous revisions leaving this final document requiring little revision from the previous draft; I am pleased with the result.

This document is an example of whole school technology integration and represents a final artifact for the School Technology Coordination certificate. It represents professional knowledge and the skills of writing grant proposals for a particular audience. The evaluation plan highlights elements of assessing and evaluating learning goals with the collaborative support of subject matter experts.
