Description The purpose of this module is to enable learners to understand and integrate the models and instructional strategies used to develop effective instructional artefacts for the holistic learning environment, as well as an appreciation of the art of creative instructional design. Learners will interact in a series of lectures, workshops and discussion on key concepts and strategies within creative instructional design. Learners will create a 'print' resource pack (which may include factsheets/ worksheets/ activity sheets/ assessment sheets/ posters etc) and will design lesson plans that explain the effective use of this artefact within a learning environment. There will be practical computing sessions designed to upskills the learner in using software such as QuarkXPress to develop these print materials. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
