ID Project Final Report

The Final Report

You are now at the end of the instructional design process you began at the beginning of the course. Throughout the duration of this course you:

  • Learned about the systematic process of instructional design.
  • Defined a need you wanted to address with instruction.
  • Wrote an appropriate, feasible, and clearly stated goal statement.
  • Analyzed your goal statement to identify goal steps, substeps, and subordinate skills.
  • Analyzed your learners.
  • Analyzed both the performance and learning contexts.
  • Wrote objectives for each of the skills in your instructional analysis.
  • Created assessment items to help you determine if your instruction is successful.
  • Developed an instructional strategy detailing how you will present your instruction to the learners.
  • Described how you would go about developing and delivering your instruction.
  • Described procedures for conducting a formative evaluation of your instructional materials.

The last thing you will do in this course is to compile all of the pertinent parts of your Instructional Design project into one big exciting Final Report. Mainly this will involve cutting and pasting from your previous documents to the Final Report document. However, the important thing to remember is that this report should contain any revisions you have made to earlier parts of the project. These revisions may have been based on the feedback you received, or any changes you made on your own. You do not need to go back and revise each individual part of the project, but your Final Report should contain the "finished product" from each of these parts. This is your last chance to bring it all together in a finished form.

Here is what your Final Report should contain:

  1. From Part One of your ID Project:
    1. Your summary description of your learning need. Do not include your answers to the individual questions.
    2. Your finished goal statement. Again, do not include your answers to the individual questions.

  2. From Part Two of your ID Project:
    1. Summary of which learning domain your goal is classified into.
    2. Completed instructional analysis flowchart listing all goal steps, substeps, subordinate skills, and entry behaviors. If you wish you may put the flowchart at the end of your document and point the reader there.

  3. From Part Three of your ID Project:
    1. The summary description of your learners.
    2. The summary description of your performance context.
    3. The summary description of your learning context.

  4. From Part Four of your ID Project:
    1. Your three-column design evaluation chart that lists your skills, objectives, and assessment items.

  5. From Part Five of your ID Project:
    1. Your entire instructional strategy, including all of the charts.

  6. From Part Six of your ID Project:
    1. The summary description of your proposed development procedures.
    2. The summary description of your proposed formative evaluation procedures.

Use appropriate headings to separate each of the sections. For example, you might structure your report like this:

  1. Need for Instruction
  2. Goal Statement
  3. Learning Domain
  4. Instructional Analysis
  5. Target Population
  6. Performance and Learning Contexts
  7. Skills, Objectives, and Assessment Items
  8. Instructional Strategy
  9. Proposed Development Procedures
  10. Proposed Formative Evaluation Procedures

However you choose to organize it, your report should be easy to follow, and should accurately describe the instructional product you intend to develop.

Submitting Your Final Report

Your Final Report should be typed up in Microsoft Word. At the top of the paper type "ID Project Final Report". Underneath that include your name, email address, and the date. When you save the file name it "final.doc". When you have completed your activities, upload the Word document to the "instrdes" folder in your Filebox. When you have finished uploading your file, proceed to the online student interface to officially submit your report for grading. The Final Report should be completed and submitted by midnight on Friday, May 3. When you do that you are finished!
