Instructional Design & eAuthoring Module (Week 8)
The following is a reflection on the Tuesday morning class that took place on 13th December 2016 from 10:00 to 13:00 using Gibbs Reflective Cycle.
Description
Each of the three groups gave a presentation on their Storyboards and eLearning Artefacts. My group, The Compostivists, were last to present.
The first group gave an oral presentation without any digital backup resources. Their project was in the are of emotional intelligence and was still in its embroyonic stages. It appeared to be an ambitious project whose aim was to improve how bus drivers related to their passengers through the use of scenarios.
The second group, The Northsiders, created a website with multimedia elements (graphics, video, audio) whose aim was to develop a cultural awareness of their surroundings for young people living in the north side of Dublin.
The third group, The Compostivists, created a storyboard (in Microsoft PowerPoint) and an eLearning Lesson (in Adobe Captivate 9) with multimedia elements (graphics, video, audio) whose aim was to teach young people about composting.
Feelings
Evaluation
Here is the evaluation that my group received from Damian Gordon / class peers via an email from Damian on 13/12/16:
I like:
=====
- the use of Captivate
- the work around the storyboards
- the emphasis on recursive drafting process during development
- starting off with images and developing descriptive text and editing back into images
- excellent storyboard – felt I could have developed an appropriate resource from it
- great insight into using Captivate, thanks for that. And good insight into ambition vs reality
- content/knowledge within artefact
- powerpoint images
- really clear and well-planned resource
- including the science was brilliant. You made what could have been a boring subject interesting and interactive
- the visuals (storyboard and main artefact)
- the idea of the project: it’s very clearly a prominent topic with climate change.
I would like:
===========
- perhaps more voices in the Captivate artefact
- to see an easier and quicker navigation system
- to see this embedded somewhere easier to access.
