DESIGN
Instructional Design
Instructional design (ID), is the practice of creating "instructional experiences which make the acquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient, effective, and appealing." (Merrill, 1993, 5-7). For my personal understanding, I think an instructional design is systematic and using instructional theories and models to make the quality of instruction. In the instructional design has many different models, Instructional design uses these models to allow the learner to absorb information more efficiently.
Models
ADDIE:
The ADDIE model is the generic process traditionally used by instructional designers and training developers. The five phases—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—represent a dynamic, flexible guideline for building effective training and performance support tools (Piskurich, 2015).
Analysis:
The Analysis phase is a process of deciding who, what and how. “Who” is to find out the target audience. “What” is to make sure instructional goals, content, problem, method, model, and delivered system. “How” is to let people gather information, and understand limitations.
Design:
The design phase focuses more on writing the learning objectives and assessments. Visual aids and design should also be done in this phase including the storyboard. In this phase, lesson planning is another important part to be processed to design more details.
Development:
The development phase is developing the materials. Get feedback from Analysis and Design stage and revising materials, develop the content and learning interactions, and produce content, graphics, audio, and photography.
Implementation:
The Implementation phase has two ways to do it. First, we are the designer, and we need delivered the learning materials and develop the guideline to the instructor. Second, we are an instructor and designer. Then we need to deliver our learning materials to our learners.
Evaluation:
The evaluation phase is to summarize the quiz and analysis data to evaluate how to improve the learning process and content. The evaluation has two ways that are formative and summative. Formative evaluation is evaluating every procedure of the project according to feedback and final grade. Moreover, at the end of the formative evaluation, revision plan should be presented. Summative evaluation is at the end of the program activities，and conclusion of the project’s result according to audiences’ final grade and feedback.
Work Sample
ETEC544:
The title of our project: CSUSB partnership program students visualized tutorials
Instructional material: https://2018etec.wixsite.com/mysite/
Three classmates and I worked on a project in our Design and Development of Instructional Materials (ETEC 544) Course where we applied the Analyze, Design and Develop stages within the ADDIE Model. We are doing "CSUSB V-Tutorial". The target audience is about 1+2+1 international students. We created a website to delivered our video. It has three videos on this website; it’s about how to download free software from our website, how to pay the tuition fee without convenience fee, and graduation requirements.

ETEC644:
The title of My project: How to Apply OPT and SSN
Instructional material: https://kimi5120.wixsite.com/optandsnn
The purpose of this learning material is to teach learners how to apply OPT (Optional practical training) and SSN (Social Security Number). All of the instructional material will be posted on the website. It has four pages on the website, Home, OPT, SSN, and Contact. The “Home” page contains a brief introduction and has the flowchart of the website. The “OPT” page discusses how to get OPT. This page includes all of the processes of how to get OPT, for example, it has OPT application requirements, the OPT documents and forms the learners need to read or download, and how to know if they applied the OPT successfully. The “SSN” page is about how to apply for the SSN and all of the processes required to get it. The “Contact” page is about instructor information. If learners encounter any problems they can find the instructor’s contact and information in this page.

Reflection
ETEC544:
ETEC 544 was my first introduction to Instructional Design. I learned the ADDIE model, in our course project we used the first three phases, Analysis, Design and Development. Three classmates and I conducted a learning project. The title of our project is CSUSB partnership program students visualized tutorials. Through this project, I know how to write down the analysis report, design document, development document, and beta test. For example, in the analysis report, we need to write who, what, and how. The target audience? What is the content? How will one know if the project is successful?
ETEC644:
In the ETEC 644 class. I learned several things in this quarter. First, I learned several more theories, such as Dick and Carey model, Kemp ISD models, Visual design, and so on. Those designs I can use in my future when I design my learning projects. The visual design can help me when I create a game or a website to make sure everything is balanced. Secondly, I know how to build a good flow chart. “The flowchart (or navigation map) is a visual representation of the sequence and flow” (p. 1). Last, I know how to use Wix to create a website and input HTML code to add the check list. I believe the knowledge and skills learned will be very useful in my future career.
