Instructional Design

Through this blog I must choose three additional links and incorporate my thoughts focusing on this week's lesson of the brain and learning.
The first design that caught my attention I have never seen this before and its ADDIE process:

Analyze - analyze learner characteristics, task to be learned, etc.
Design - develop learning objectives, choose an instructional approach
Develop - create instructional or training materials
Implement - deliver or distribute the instructional materials
Evaluate - make sure the materials achieved the desired goals

The second design is called the Carey made a significant contribution to the instructional design field by championing a systems view of instruction as opposed to viewing instruction as a sum of isolated parts. The model addresses instruction as an entire system, focusing on the interrelationship between context, content, learning and instruction. According to Dick and Carey, "Components such as the instructor, learners, materials, instructional activities, delivery system, and learning and performance environments interact with each other and work together to bring about the desired student learning outcomes"(Dick, Walter, Lou Carey, and James O. Carey (2005) [1978]. The Systematic Design of Instruction (6th ed.). Allyn & Bacon. pp. 1–12. ISBN 0205412742. http://books.google.com/?id=sYQCAAAACAAJ&dq=the+systematic+design+of+instruction.)

The last design was http://www.ericdigests.org/1999-1/tools.html which provided tools for automating instructional design. This site provided four types of tools through the ID process expert systems, advisory systems, information management systems, and electronic performance support systems. It then goes into details about each tool and how the AID tools focus on cognitive process.

Learning theories also play an important role in the design of instructional materials. Theories such as behaviorism, constructivism, social learning and cognitivism help shape and define the outcome of instructional materials.
