Identifying a Need, writing assignment help
Identifying a Need |
Identify a problem or area of need for which instructional design might be able to support a solution. Your problem can be in an academic or industry setting. In your initial post, you will:
- Identify which one of the needs assessment methods from your text you are using.
- Justify the problem as an instructional design issue.
- Describe the steps you would follow to complete a needs assessment for this issue. This is an issue that you will continue to develop throughout the course, so choose carefully.
If you have completed EDU120 since May 2013, you cannot use the same problem used as the final project in that course unless you have made previous arrangements with your current instructor of EDU232.
You may respond to this discussion in any format you wish, as long as each of the required components is included. If you choose to respond in a format other than text, you can attach the document (picture, presentation, etc.) to your discussion post. If you choose a format hosted on the internet (video, VoiceThread, etc.), post the link within the discussion box. Ensure that the project is publicly available or provide the required access info.
