"Instructional Design Essentials" Week 3

*Note: Though published, this post is still a work in progress!* 

BLOG POST (Due by October 5): 
Watch the videos and complete the required readings (we don't mind if you skim). Think about how each theory interacts with your instructional activity for your final project and address the following two points in your blog:

1.       In your blog, discuss which theory/ies might be most applicable to your instruction and outline a specific activity/assignment/exercise that would facilitate learning according to that theory. Outline, design, or wireframe that activity in a way that  makes sense to you so you will be able to design it more in depth when you have time. Post all of this in your blog.
PowerPoint works great for developing wireframes; use anything that is quick and easy and don't try to make it pretty!
2.       Write a brief post addressing how you are going to motivate your learners/students, and align your response with the information drawn from Small's article on motivation.
For this class, we expect that the majority of you are intrinsically motivated to complete this course. Your enrollment was of course optional, and you are likely doing this for reasons that are important to you. We've added in a few extrinsic motivators as well (e.g. blog posts viewable by your coursemates, a certificate of completion).
