What is Involved in The Design Phase?

The design phase involves several steps:

• Instructional Analysis: what content should be taught, and in what order?

• Goals & Objectives: what should students be able to do when they finish the unit or course, in both general (goals) and specific (objective) levels of analysis?

• Evaluation Design: how will you assess whether students are actually learning the material?

• Instructional Strategy: this is the “road map” specifying how you’ll get from the objectives to actual student learning.
