Instructional Materials development

With the instructional strategy in hand, you are ready to start selecting existing instructional materials and/or creating materials for achieving the objectives. The exact materials that you need to develop vary widely from project to project, depending on the audience, goals, and what you specified in your design

In this assignment, you will create instructional materials for learners and the instructor.

Instructional Materials for Learners (Learner’s manual)

The learner’s manual contains the content that the learner can use to help them achieve the objectives. This can include but is not limited to

• Learning materials include existing instructional materials and/or materials developed by you specifically for the objectives

• Concept maps, charts, or tables

• Guidelines or information that the learners can use to guide their progress through the instruction.

• Activity guides and rubrics

• Study guides

• Resources lists

• Frequency Questions and Answers

Instructional Materials for Instructors (Instructor’s manual) Assume that you will not be the person who teaches the unit, so the instructor’s manual should contain materials and enough details to let other teachers know what they need to do so that they will end up implementing the instruction as you designed it. The instructor’s manual can include but is not limited to

• An overview of the project

• Instructional goal and objectives

• Lesson preparation – what should do or prepare before the lesson begins

• Assessments (entry skills tests, practice tests, pre- and post- tests, answer keys, and rubrics, etc.)

• Learning materials include existing instructional materials and/or materials developed by you specifically for the objectives

• Instructions for implementing and using the instructional materials

• Assignments

• Resource lists

I’ll be looking at:

• The instructional materials accurately implement the design of the instruction.

• The instructional materials completely teach the goals and objectives.

2

• The instructional materials include a variety of elements to make teaching and learning easier and more successful.

• The instructional materials are written at a level appropriate for the learners.

• The instructional materials help instructors implement the instruction successfully.

• The instructional materials are nicely formatted. Visuals are used appropriately for the goals and the learners.
