Not an assessed activity |
Food for thought:
The sample OTARA is for a small set of related activities. Can you think of one thing that is missing from the model above that the other models have?
If you were to create a similar activity for a completely online course, what additional information or support would you need? (Think about what happens during the face to face time and how does that compliment the online material)
How does this activity support the learning in future weeks. What is dependent on this activity being completed and how is this important?
You may like to answer these questions later in your blog (not assessed).

Instructional Design Model - Practical
Start thinking about the final assessment requirements of this course. Using whatever Instructional Design methodology you find suits your needs, start to plan your learning object, or course. Map a broad course outline, identifying learning outcomes, how you will assess student success and make a list of possible resources you will need. This is a working document, so you will revisit this over the duration of this course and modify as required.

Add a post (or two) to your blog and reflect on any issues that surround the use of mobile and digital learning technologies used during the "field trip".
- Answer the following questions:
- Identify the mobile device and operating system you used
- If you didn't bring a device to the field trip, explain why not
- What issues did you notice when using a device during the field trip
- What could be done to improve this experience (focus on the use of technology)
- Include any photos or media you captured during the tour.
If you attended virtually:
- Comment on the questions above from your perspective
- What issues did you notice when using Adobe Connect as the virtual classroom technology
