Producing Instructional Systems: Lesson Planning for Individualized and Group Learning Activities (Instructional Development)

This book examines the decisions that face an instructional designer when developing detailed lesson plans and selecting instructional materials. At this "micro" level, specific tasks must be selected for explaining, demonstrating, illustrating, practicing and evaluating the subject matter to be mastered. Part 1 presents a detailed analysis of the concept of individualization, adapting the teaching to the needs of individuals in both group and self-study situations. Part 2 illustrates the application of the principles of course design to practical examples of course planning. Part 3 considers the detailed planning of lessons and training exercises, laying stress on the need for formative evaluation during development and after.
