Class Activity 1

Explain the different Instructional Design Models

Are there any similarities between them?

Are there any instances where one model would be more useful than the others?

Do you think any of these will be useful in helping you design your courses? How?

Finding and evaluating Learning Resources

What learner resources are you going to need for your training program? Learning resources can include:

• a prescribed text book
• a specific website
• Notes written by trainer
• online course/course materials eg. Cisco
• online courses from Lynda.com (LinkedIn learning) or similar
• YouTube videos
• Articles from a variety websites

Class Activity 2

Find an example of some (5) of the above learner resource types that could be used during the delivery of the following units:

• ICTICT209
• BSBHRM509
• CHCDIV003

How do you evaluate whether the resource is suitable for the unit/topic? What criteria would you use?

Tools and apps for trainers

There are lots of free or freemium apps and tools that trainers can use to deliver content, check learner comprehension, and/or explain concepts.

Class Activity 3

Review the lists of tools above and evaluate one that you think would be useful in the delivery of your unit. How might you use the tool? How would it add value to your course? Are there any others that you use or know of?

There is no class next week as we have a student free day and I will be attending PD sessions.
