Defining Instruction
From class with Dr. Andy Gibbons today:
An instructional event is an Activity combined with a goal (which is the task to be learned).
Instructional events are made up of more instructional events.
Instructional design, then is creating the series of activities meant to achieve specific goals, which are all the pieces of the overarching goal of what is to be learned.
Each instructional event begs you to ask what is happening on the myriad layers of instruction as described by Gibbons earlier in the year: Representation, control, message, strategy, content, data management, media logic.
An instructional event is a clearer concept than lesson, because a lesson doesn't clarify what or how many goals will be covered in a lesson.
P. 42 Vol. 2 -- course design document -- single-spaced 5-10 pages.
Management plan.
Evaluation plan.
