      Describe at least three possible reasons (factors) why the project had very littleeffect on the instructional practices employed by the teachers. Each of the factorsyou identify should be related to the factors mentioned in this chapter as to whyearlier forms of instructional media (i.e., films, radio, and television) had verylimited effects on instructional practices.b. Describe at least two strategies that could have been employed to help mitigatethe factors that you think contributed to the minimal effect this project had oninstructional practices. Indicate why you think each of these strategies might havebeen helpful.2. Congratulations! Your instructional design consulting company has just been selected asone of the finalists to receive a contract to design a print-based instructional unit that willteach sixth-grade students throughout the United States how to multiply fractions. Now, inorder to receive the contract, the contracting agency has asked you to prepare a memo inwhich you describe why your company is well-suited to take on this task. However, asnoted here, this memo isn’t your normal memo!The agency’s chief contract officer feels that the contract should be awarded to someonewho understands the history of instructional design and can apply the ideas from thathistory to today’s instructional design tasks. Therefore, he has asked that each of theReiser, R. A., Carr-Chellman, A. A., & Dempsey, J. V. (Eds.). (2024). Trends and issues in instructional design and technology.

      1. Teachers were not involved in the process--they did not provide suggestions or had any other input. 2. Teachers were not provided any training on how to use the tech. 3. Technology was introduced in the classroom, but methods on how to implement the tech were not given. SUGGESTIONS: 1. Involve teaches in the process from beginning to end--show them the benefits of using tech in the classroom. 2. Allow them to give input on what tech to use and the process of implementing it. 3. Train them on teaching processes and how to use the technology.

      These include teacher resistance to change, especially (change mandatedtop-down changeby school administrators with little or no input from teachers),

      When we consider why tech in education didn't live up to its high expectations, I wonder how much of it was because the technology wasn't effective and how much of it was because the failures to implement them correctly--not addressing teacher's resistance to change, implementing it from the top-down without input from the teachers. What I'm trying to get across is the lesson: we need to address people's resistance to using technology for learning or not be overly optimistic about the usefulness of tech in edcuation.

      Although there was little time and opportunity to collect hard data regarding the effectof these films on the performance of military personnel, several surveys of military instructorsrevealed that they felt the training films and filmstrips used during the war were effective trainingtools ( ). Apparently, at least some of the enemy agreed; in 1945, after the warSaettler, 1990ended, the German Chief of General Staff said: “We had everything calculated perfectly exceptthe speed with which America was able to train its people. Our major miscalculation was inunderestimating their quick and complete mastery of film education”

      Here it seems that videos were more effective that a human instructor at training soldiers. I think this is an indication that different modes of education/learning are going to be more effective depending on what is being taught.

      Define the field

      Learning Design and Application: the study and application of practices, the goal being to empower learners to learn new, and strengthen their skills and implement them when needed. (I leaned heavily on the 2023 AECT definition for my definition and field name because I think it demonstrated the emphasis on learning rather than instruction, which resonated with me. I also stayed away from mentioning any mediums such as human instructors or technologies.)

      First, rather than focusing on media, the definition focused on“the design and use of messages which control the learning process” (p. 38). Moreover, thedefinition statement identified a series of steps that individuals should undertake in designing andusing such messages. These steps, which included planning, production, selection, utilization, andmanagement, are similar to several of the major steps often associated with what has becomeknown as systematic instructional design (more often simply referred to as instructional design

      This is a misconception I had myself--thinking of instructional technologies as a medium rather than processes. Already beginning to shift my understanding of the subject.
