Topic 1 (Designing and Planning of Instruction. The Dynamic Instructional Design Model)

From this topic I realize that our designing lesson was encouraged by the instructional designer to consider using student-centered instructional design and the first question that comes in my mind is how will I cover all my material in my subject? Then I think is the important of the instructional design is to assured the student didn’t take much time to waste by assuming the learner is actually learning the material when simply coping notes from a lecturer.

The materials we can be provide through text-based or brief video-based learning but the essence of active learning is for students to do more and the instructor less. So, it means that our process of learning was encouraged by technology.

It is vitally important to ensure that designing and planning are taken into consideration when teaching and learning with technology. Educators much understand the many variations in learners: cognitive abilities, culture, previous skills and knowledge to characteristics and overall differences in order to promote learning. Then with technology, too much can drown out what the intended lesson should have been and too little can make it boring, there must be balance. This means no one method is perfect but staying abreast and constantly making changes in the design will produce more successful results.
