This Open Educational Resource is an interactive eBook in the form of a website titled ADDIE Explained. The eBook focuses on instructional design from the perspective of the ADDIE Model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) and is designed for novice instructional designers. ADDIE Explained includes a number of educational and technological affordances designed and developed to assist the learners in comprehending the subject matter.

The arrival of artificial intelligence has sent shockwaves through numerous industires. Instructional design and education, like many other fields, are bracing for impact. The conversation around AI in instructional design and education has ranged from doomsday scenarios to claims of a new savior. The only constraint in these projects is a general lack of data supporting either scenario. To inform our strategy plan for the utilization and adoption of AI tools, the AI working group at Emeritus Institute of Management conducted a pilot study, assaying the impacts of two tools, ChatGPT and Blue Willow, on the efficiency and effectiveness of these tools in completing common design tasks. This paper describes our study design and the results of our experiment.

This Pressbook contains video training modules for creating accessible content within digital environments and using content authoring programs, such as the Microsoft Office 365 suite and Pressbooks platform. Each section has an optional self-assessment checkpoint for viewers who wish to check their learning progress. Videos have been migrated to permit open-access.

This collection provides practical approaches and design ideas that can be easily implemented in tertiary education. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to use technology for teaching, you’re in the right place.

This comprehensive guide illuminates the art and science of educational assessment, blending ancient alchemical wisdom with modern AI innovations. Part one lays the foundation, exploring essential principles of assessment and evaluation and its pivotal role in shaping learning outcomes. Part two delves into diverse assessment types, from formative assessments driving real-time adjustments to summative evaluations measuring overall achievement. Part three offers expert guidance on crafting effective assessment designs, ensuring authenticity and inclusivity. Part four examines the alchemy of feedback and grading, empowering educators with strategies for constructive engagement and growth. Part five focuses on evaluations, showcasing methods to assess program effectiveness and student progress over time. Whether you’re an educator refining assessment practices or an instructional designer harnessing AI’s potential, this book equips you to turn every educational challenge into a golden opportunity.

Are your learning initiatives accomplishing what you want? What do you want to be able to say about what participants learned? How would you find out what they learned? In this module, you will discover how to assess learning and evaluate connected learning initiatives.

The work plan outlined here is intended to facilitate a 4-hour session for a collaborative work group of subject matter experts. This group's mission is to develop course learning outcomes that blend collaborators’ course learning outcomes into one set of outcomes. Our objective is to craft a course module template aligned with the new course learning outcomes that is versatile enough to be adopted by multiple institutions across the globe.

In this module you will get to know your teens, your neighborhood, and the community assets that can help you create connected learning experiences in your library.

In this module, you will learn how to expand your programs, your resources, and your audience by partnering with people and organizations in the community.

In this module, Connected Learning Programming, you will learn how connected learning fits in with a 21st century library. This module provides an overview of the program design process and offers some springboards to help inspire your next teen initiative.

The (Advanced Instructional Design) course provides students with the knowledge and skills for designing and facilitating highly contextualized, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences based on the principles of constructivism, situated cognition, and connectivism. Readings expose students to a range of epistemological and theoretical perspectives as evidenced by instructional design literature and applications.The focus is on grounded or theory-based design. The course emphasizes the design of online or technology-supported learning environments (TSLEs) using a variety of pedagogical models such as situated learning, anchored instruction, problem-based learning, cognitive apprenticeship, and cognitive flexibility hypertext.

This Course Review and Approval Tool (CRAT) is the “workbook” that faculty use to design and plan their course with best practice in mind that addresses: curricular alignment with objectives, learning activities, practice assignments and quizzes, and higher-stakes assessments. The 10-tabbed spreadsheet is a digital multitool that centralizes and aggregates the entire course development, review, and approval processes. This tool is used to plan the course prior to its build in the Learning Management System (LMS) as part of an eight-module LMS-based support course that steps faculty through the process and gives them a learner-based perspective on how the tools work together and the features available to them for use in their own courses.

In addition to facilitating communication with multiple stakeholders who may share the document, the process MODELS a self- and peer-reviewed authentic assessment strategy that adapts itself well to any curriculum, whether for training, orientation, or credit-bearing coursework. It supports and models features of an intersection of agile design, backward design, and reflective practice in addition to encouraging authentic and formative assessment strategies. Providing all necessary documents in one easily accessed and bookmarkable document facilitates the process of course development by providing both a model and a touchstone for faculty who are often overwhelmed with the complexity of the process of developing or redeveloping courses regardless of delivery modality. While most of our faculty came to the program because of requirements for online or hybrid learning, most have exclaimed happily that they now apply this process to all of their courses and their learners have shown appreciation for the clarity and consistency that the tool promotes and supports.

The document also includes a dynamic link to future updates for anyone who adopts it and wants to follow its evolution. Feel free to adapt!
