23. Project Evolution
The following are some of the things that changed throughout my project plans:

24. Project Evolution
The following are some of the things that changed throughout my project plans:
The pilot group changed from ten teachers to six teachers due to time constraints

25. Project Evolution
The following are some of the things that changed throughout my project plans:
The pilot group changed from ten teachers to six teachers due to time constraints
On the Introduction web page, the video changed from a Google selection to one I created so the theme and narration matches

26. Project Evolution
The following are some of the things that changed throughout my project plans:
The pilot group changed from ten teachers to six teachers due to time constraints
On the Introduction web page, the video changed from a Google selection to one I created so the theme and narration matches
I embedding all the videos so learners are not directed away from the main web pages

27. Rationale for Instructional Design
After determining the learning goals and choosing Google Sites for my instructional design, it was time to select the mode of delivery for my learning object.

28. Rationale for Instructional Design
I chose to create a website to help teachers learn how to use Google Sites to create a classroom-based website

29. Rationale for Instructional Design
Let’s take a closer look!

30. Rationale for Instructional Design
Multimedia Example:
Each lesson contains a lesson overview
A video tutorial is embedded in the web page
A self-evaluating quiz is included

31. Rationale for Instructional Design
Lesson Overview:
Each lesson overview explains what the lesson is about
The lesson objectives are clearly identified
Screen shots are provided with arrows and labels

32. Rationale for Instructional Design
Video Tutorial:
Each video is embedded on lesson web page
Calls outs help to guide learner to key information
Zoom and pan features are used

33. Rationale for Instructional Design
Lesson Quiz:
Each quiz reviews key lesson information
Hyperlinks are used to reveal answers or return to main page

35. Lessons Learned
Carefully select the tools you use in a design project to ensure viability and reliability throughout course work

36. Lessons Learned
Carefully select the tools you use in a design project to ensure viability and reliability throughout course work
Do not assume every learner comes with prior knowledge about a concept and cognitively processes information the same way as you do

37. Lessons Learned
Carefully select the tools you use in a design project to ensure viability and reliability throughout course work
Do not assume every learner comes with prior knowledge about a concept and cognitively processes information the same way as you do
Applying proven multimedia principles will not only make your product look better, it will help the learner learn better

38. Lessons Learned
Carefully select the tools you use in a design project to ensure viability and reliability throughout course work
Do not assume every learner comes with prior knowledge about a concept and cognitively processes information the same way as you do
Applying proven multimedia principles will not only make your product look better, it will help the learner learn better
Summative evaluation is an important step before delivering learning objects to the actual learners
