Reflection:
Remembering: This week I…
- Contributed to discussions on project development
- Contributed to discussions on Project Plan updates
- Worked on edits to our Project Plan on our team website
- Had a pre-production meeting with Long John Silvers owner/ manager
- Took video samples at Long John Silvers
- Made various other updates to team website
Understanding:
I think the most important thing I learned about this week was on the importance of talking with a subject matter expert. The process of shortening maintenance is something that I really do not know anything about. So I have been kind of concerned about creating an instructional unit on something that I really didn’t know about. However, after meeting with a subject matter expert on shortening maintenance I feel much more comfortable that we will be able to create this unit. I now have a better understanding and appreciation of the relationship that instructional designers and subject matter experts need to have.
Applying:
I will be able to apply this new knowledge in future instructional design projects. I also believe that this new knowledge will help me gain confidence in future ID projects.
Analyzing:
The main pattern that I continue to see is the importance of teamwork with my partners. This is the first instructional design project that I have worked on with other people. I am beginning to have a better understanding of sharing not only responsibilities, but also sharing knowledge with my other team members.
Evaluating:
I believe that I have done a good job with my contributions to my team and with my work on our team website. I would like to continue to improve on team discussions and being able to share knowledge with my teammates and ask for help when I need it.
Creating:
Our next step is to work on our Content Analysis. After completing our Content Analysis, our group needs to begin the development phase of our project.
