Reflection:

During this course, we have explored the stages of instructional design--mainly the analysis stage and the design stage. We have developed a project proposal, a questionnaire, a flowchart, a storyboard and a prototype, wrote learning objectives and assessment strategies collaboratively as a group. The process of actually doing it by ourselves help us understand the procedure on a more practical level.

On the other hand, I have read the suggested materials in the course and searched for additional resources, which include the history of instructional design and technology, and many other models for instructional design such as the events of instruction, multimedia learning theory, 4C/ID Model, Learning by Doing Model (by several authors), Resource-based learning model (several authors) and Constructivist Learning Environment, and also issues on Web 2.0 and education. These theories and models have enlightened me on instructional design from different perspectives.

I have also learnt from Bigg's SOLO taxomony and constructive alignment in writing learning objectives and designing assessment strategies; read materials on learning theories; and explored examples of learning technology products such as educational games and learning objects (They are all presented under the specific subjects) These all have helped me to form an overall understanding of instructional design.
