Formative evaluation can fit in a lot of different places and in a lot of different ways. In this short video, I give some examples of formative evaluation techniques that can be used to enhance instruction at the design phase, in face to face instruction, and in eLearning.

Assessment typically falls into one of two broad categories. Formative Assessment which hopefully in”forms” your teaching and allows for minor course corrections. And Summative Assessment which sort of “sums up” how you did with your instructional design and instruction. Both are important but I’ve found that formative assessment is often neglected. In this video, I…

There is more to a learner analysis than just determining “entry level skills” evaluating “prior knowledge” and the other aspects of a formal analysis. Those are all important but there is are important intangible insights that you can gain when you are able to break through the barriers and actually sit down with your potential…

Hi Everyone, Today I wanted to talk about learning objectives or performance objectives. Specifically, why are they important and what are the different parts of a quality learning objective. It’s a nice short video and as a bonus here is the URL for a quick and dirty learning objective generator that I’ve used a couple…

Hi Everyone, After yesterday’s video about the Dick & Carey Method I received a few questions about the context analysis, specifically how that works with online courses and eLearning and how come it’s bundled with the learner analysis. In this video, I try to answer both questions.

Hi everyone, today I wanted to share a really quick and dirty overview of the Dick and Carey Method. This is the instructional design methodology that I start my graduate students on in their first course because it really helps to break down the instructional design process in nice compartmentalized boxes that can more easily…

I’ve accepted a challenge to make an instructional design/technology related video every day this next year so I’ve got a request for ideas, if you have any topic ideas for a short video please let me know so I can add it to the list. #technology #instructionaldesign #challenge
