4. Why Does ID Matter?

5. Why Does ID Matter?
• Like it or not, we all play an instructional role
• Design is being recognized as an important factor
in the creation of all things experiential
• Good design for learning = engagement,
motivation, logical progression, achievable goals
• Poor design for learning = confusion, frustration,
unhappy customers who will not be back

6. Why Does ID Matter?
“A common mistake that people make when
trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity
of complete fools.”
- Douglas Adams

7. So What Is Instructional Design?
• Purposeful
• Logical
• Progressive
• Learner-centered
• Multi-modal
“What I hear, I forget.
What I see, I remember.
What I do, I understand.”
- Confucius

19. Embedded + Blended
Librarians helping faculty develop instructional strategies

20. Context
Private university with professional focus
2200 FTE
How can the library reach more students and faculty?
Have worked with the concept of embedded librarians for
several years.

21. What if ?
We embedded a librarian in the online instructional design
course for faculty?

22. Faculty comments
"The librarian found great information to help accounting
students. I have no idea the resources she found existed..."
"Thank you. This is great. I know the students will enjoy!"
"You all do a remarkable job, of listening and creating as well
as researching!"

23. How did we get there?
Idea of blended librarians was introduced.
Not many takers. What to do?
Embed a librarian in online professional development for
faculty-Instructional Design for Online Courses.

24. Specifics
Take one of your learning outcomes for the course you are
creating in the practice area and email it to the librarian.

25. What I do
Search the library.
PANIC!
Reply to the faculty.
Post to the course discussion board.
Embed the resource in the practice class.

26. Bonus!
"Would it be possible to for you to suggest some interesting
videos to show in the classroom - Marketing related?"

28. Application
How might you apply this in your library?

29. Applying Instructional Design
Teen Technology Tutors

30. Applying Instructional Design
Analyze: What do you know about your learners?
 Many are technophobic
and lack confidence.
 Some have basic navigation skills,
but have “holes” in their tech
knowledge .

31. Applying Instructional Design
Analyze: What do you know about your learners?
 Some have physical challenges i.e. arthritis,
tremors, hearing difficulty
 Preference for step-by-step instruction

32. Applying Instructional Design
Analyze: Your Lesson Goals:
Example: Mousercise
Goal: To surf the internet and shop online, by
Learning how to use a mouse,
Learning to use a browser, and
Learning how to fill-in online forms.

33. Applying Instructional Design
Design: Learning objectives:
Example: Mousercise
• Scroll up and down a webpage.
• Move the cursor accurately to click on a link.
• Double click to open a program.
• Use a drop down menu and fill out an online
form.

34. Applying Instructional Design
Develop: Instructional Strategies:
 multi-modal
- Older adult hears the instruction from the teen.
- Older adult sees the demonstration by the
teen and reads the handout.
- Older adult does hands-on practice.

35. Applying Instructional Design
Develop: Instructional Strategies:
 Go slow.
 Repeat instruction as needed.
 Take time to answer questions.
 Don't try to go over too much at one session.

36. Applying Instructional Design
Develop: Procedures:
 Use the patron's laptop if available.
 Don't reformat their disks, install software, etc.
 It is ok if you can't answer their question –
just ask a librarian at the reference desk

37. Applying Instructional Design
Implement your lesson:

38. Applying Instructional Design
Evaluate - Distribute a survey to learners,
or ask for verbal feedback.
