Title of Training Module Design Plan

1. Title of Training Module Design Plan Your Name Date Course # and Name

2. Needs Assessment: • The instructional/training problem or opportunity • The analysis of the gap between what is available and what should be available • The recommended solution for filling the gap Note: You may want to list each of these on a separate screen.

3. Instructional Goal: • Use this slide to state your instructional goal. An “instructional goal” is a broad statement of what you want the learners to know and be able to do after completing your training module. • Clearly state your instructional goal in 1-2 sentences. Sample Goal Statements: • After completing this training, teachers will be able to transfer files from one computer to another. • After completing this lesson, students will be able to identify the major parts of the human body.

4. Performance Objectives: • Objective #1 (written with Condition, Behavior, Criteria) • Objective #2 (written with Condition, Behavior, Criteria) • Objective #3 (written with Condition, Behavior, Criteria) Sample Performance Objectives written in correct format: • Using Windows XP (CN), the learner will copy files from the host computer to the guest computer (B) with 90% accuracy (CR). • Given a 3D model of the skeletal system (CN), the learner will name the major parts of the human body (B) using common terminology (CR).

5. Assessment of Learning Outcomes: • Use this slide to describe how you will evaluate the learner's mastery of the concepts or processes addressed in your training module. • Use the following table to align your performance objectives to your assessments. You should develop one assessment for each objective.

6. Learner Characteristics: • Use this slide to describe your target audience. Provide at least three learner characteristics along with a description of their possible implications for the design of your instruction. When thinking about the learner characteristics ask yourself the following questions: • Who is the intended audience for this training module? • What skills do they have or need in order to successfully complete the training? • What additional information do I need to know about the intended audience in order to develop the best training possible for this group?

7. Learning Context: • Use this slide to describe the learning context. • Provide a description of the intended instructional setting (e.g., classroom, computer lab, workplace setting, at home, online, etc.), including its characteristics, resources, and constraints.

Note: Use as many slides as necessary to cover the entire training outline.

9. Instructional Resources: • List and describe the materials learners will need in order to participate in the training (computer, whiteboard, hardware/software, Internet access, manipulatives, and supplemental materials).

10. Training Module Blueprint: • Use the PowerPoint drawing and charting tools to create a storyboard or flowchart that shows how the learner will move through the training module. • The blueprint should graphically display the lesson and its components in the order in which they will appear in the lesson.

11. Formative Evaluation: • Use this slide to describe the two strategies you intend to use to evaluate your design plan (for example, Subject Matter Expert, peer evaluation, small group evaluation). • Briefly describe how you will carry out each evaluation strategy (See Part 4 Evaluation and Revision for additional information regarding acceptable formative evaluation strategies).

12. Summary • Use this slide to summarize your design plan. Remind the reader of the purpose and goal of the training module you plan to develop.
