Concurrent Design: Instructional and Motivational Strategy Planning

Abstract

Once the objectives are clustered, the next set of essential design tasks in the concurrent design stage is to determine the instructional and motivational strategies for online instruction. Formative evaluation continues as the instructional strategies take form. To promote a sense of continuity, the designer uses a conceptual framework for describing these instructional and motivational strategies. The WBID Model uses the WBI Strategy Worksheet as the means to frame and document such strategies. While creating these strategies, the designer must bear in mind other factors that impact online delivery: class size, navigation and learner control, feedback, and interactivity. The designer also determines the types of media to incorporate into the online instruction, if it has not already been predetermined.
