Assessment and Evaluation in Instructional Design
Course Description
This course explores data collection and analysis in two key aspects of instructional design: the needs analysis phase and the evaluation phase. these two phases not only bookend the instructional design process but are also data-driven decision points by nature. Students explore methods and approaches of collecting, organizing, and analyzing data through the lens of these two instructional design junctures.
Instructor: Carol A. Sharicz
Major Takeaway
“A needs assessment identifies not only what the performance problem is, but also who it affects, how it affects them, and what results are expected from the training. Needs assessment drives all the following steps in instructional systems design” (Brandon, 2022).
