Our instructional goals/performance objectives document was still on the table for the Genesis Learning team this week. Over the weekend my task was to revise the wording in the document so that it was consistent throughout.
During our Monday evening meeting we tweaked the objectives a tiny bit and then it was off to one of our 6200 consultants for final proofreading and editing.
I’m beginning to see that not being able to work with each other face to face on a daily basis, like in a real job situation, makes keeping a consistent work flow a little more challenging. However, I believe our team keeps everyone in the loop through e-mail and Goggle Docs so we work through that glitch fairly well.
Our next tasks are revising the timeline, developing the user profile, creating a treatment rationale, defining our hardware/software needs, designing a screen design, and forming an evaluation plan. A lot to accomplish but I think we’ll get through it with flying colors.
Thursday in class we and Dr. Clinton will discuss our assigned article by Larson and Lockee which is about aspects to consider as we work toward Instructional Design as a career.
Next week:
1. Work on user profile and treatment rationale
2. Consider questions to propose for Dr. Powell when we meet on Feb. 21st.3. Work on ideas for activities within module.

This week the Genesis Learning team worked on the development of performance objectives based on the instructional goals taken from the Needs Assessment.
There are seven instructional goals which I was responsible for developing numbers 4) Describe basic procedures for handling cash and 5) Identify camp store income, expenses and calculate profit margin.
In my opinion, I’m not sure how appropriate goal 5 is as far as how we will be able to teach someone to identify income. Or perhaps I’m not clear on what we are to teach in this section. I am by no means an SME on finances so I’m not sure if I what I think is pertinent.
However, I think if we word the objective such as:
"Given a list of examples, the CDWBAT identify and categorize income and expenses with at least 80% accuracy. " Written in this fashion I think will work.
We are to meet on Thursday and hash out some of these issues because we would like to present the objectives to Dr. Powell for sign off, so at that time we will come to a consensus.
Next week:
1. Revise performance objectives.
2. Begin development of our instructional strategies.
