DISTANCE EDUCATION AT A GLANCE
GUIDE 3: Instructional Development for Distance Education
This development process is now seriously set in my brain! I have now reviewed so many processes, and have a good understanding of these steps that vary with each model, but are generally the same basic framework.
Needs Assessment: A Systematic Approach for Successful Distance Education
Robert G. Stewart, Darcey M. Cuffman http://www.mtsu.edu/%7Eitconf/proceed98/rstewart.html
I found this conclusion well stated, and enforces that a systematic approach is so very essential to success:
“Moore and Kearsley (1996) conclude that “there cannot be within any unit, institution, or the nation at large, or even in a global network, a viable distance education program in the future that is not in some way integrated into a total system” (p. 245). Likewise productive needs assessments are dependent upon an systematic approach. The integration of needs assessment as part of a total distance education system should benefit all stakeholders (e.g., faculty, administrators, students).”
I have practically been a resident at ROI Rubric for online instruction. These are so incredibly helpful for me to get this first run of instruction going ….
I want to just keep our Ped2 class going at this point, I feel like I am just getting into this!
I am a little worried as I know I am behind in my final project. I really should have gone through three revisions of it by this point, but I am very nervous about it all, mostly because it is new, and also the multiple layers of understanding and being both teacher and student. I am confident I will have a successful outcome, but it is so daunting….The sample projects from Karen Case and Katie O’Connell are a great guide, and the fun part is that I know them from class….The first trimester I started at MCGC, I only took two classes, L&E and Planning for Change which is where I met Katie and Karen.
Steady on…. whew – breathe ….

My only wish is that you had felt confident enough to talk to me or others more as a part of your learning process. I don’t expect you to have it all down pat – otherwise you wouldn’t be in the class, right? what I do expect is that each person is where s/he is and makes a good faith effort to learn/apply/own the material being discussed. And it certainlyseems like you have done/are doing this.
I do not have preconceived notions of the different ways in which each person learns. but certainly one of the ways to make projects less daunting is to break them into smaller pieces ….

I wish I had the confidence too, to ask more from all, but I didn’t feel like I was ready, I get shy to ask, I often feel I need more time for things to sink in, and then the waves push me over, and I get overwhelmed.
Yes, smaller pieces, and chunks of information are best.
