2. Extended Instructional Design Model
[Handout p. 5]
2
① Needs Assessment: What do learners need to know?
② Analyze the Present: What do learners already know?
③ Define Goal & SLOs: What will students do & learn?
④ Select Formats, Methods & Materials: What are the best
method(s) to teach the content & processes online?
⑤ Devise Test & Assessment Procedures: Create prototype.
⑥ Construct & Teach Prototype: Performing it online.
⑦ Evaluate & Analyze Outcomes: What did learners take
away? Did they meet defined SLOs?
⑧ Revise & Recycle Steps: What will be different next time?

3. Needs Assessment (Handouts pp. 6-7)
3
① Gather information directly from learners
② Do performance analysis
③ Identify discrepancies
④ Identify resources & constraints
⑤ Rank priorities & goals
⑥ Write revised Instructional Goal
Statement, SPIOs, & ACS Outcomes

4. Learner-Based Instructional Design
Model for Information Literacy (Handouts p. 8)
4
① Obtain learners’ structured self-reports of information
research experiences
② Use content analysis to extract SLOs
③ Classify SLOs on the info search competence matrix
④ Expand SLOs with ACS elements
⑤ Create active learning experiences for ACS SLOs
⑥ Conduct pre-test to assess skill levels
⑦ Initiate & complete instruction
⑧ Post-test to assess skill levels
⑨ Obtain structured self-reports of new information
research experiences

5. Exercise: Usability Testing the
Needs Assessment Survey
5
 Make the Form Live: Form menu, Accepting
responses, Go To Live Form
 Copy/Paste Form URL in GG new post, click link, go
to Form
 Everyone fills out the survey and examines the
resulting spreadsheet
 Form menu, Show Summary of Responses
 Make changes as needed, test changes
 Make Form Live (Nahl sends link to Professor James)

6. Design Workshop: Constructing
Measurable ACS Outcomes (Handout verbs pp. 15-17)
6
 Overall Instructional Goal (revised) (Examples p. 12)
 Standard (selected from ACRL competencies)
 Performance Indicator (based on one extracted from
the chosen ACRL Standard) (Examples pp. 12-13)
 Measurable Outcomes (based on one or more
extracted from the ACRL PI above, expressed in
holistic SLOs) (Examples p. 10)
 [A] Affective learning outcome (attitude or value)
 [C] Cognitive learning outcome (thinking or solving)
 [S] Sensorimotor learning outcome (doing or performing)
 Transparency of Learning: SAOAC 5-part components
(Examples pp. 9, 12)

7. Exercise: Teams Review Goal, ACRL
7
SPIOs, ACS Outcomes, SAOAC
 Meet with your Team
 Examine and revise your chosen SPIOs
 Revise or edit ACRL Outcomes to fit your lesson content
 Transform ACRL Outcomes into ACS expressions pp.
10, 12, & handout of prior 665 students
 Create and/or revise SAOAC with criteria for
meeting SLOs (e.g., % correct) pp. 9; 12

8. Exercise: Peer-review of Goal, ACRL
Standards, PIs, ACS Outcomes, SAOAC
8
 Meet with other Teams
 Google Team 4 meets Google Team 5
 Identity Team 1 meets Identity Team 2 & Identity Team 3
 Review other Team’s ACRL Standards, PIs & ACS
Outcomes, and SAOAC (pp. 9; 12)
 Identify gaps, missing elements, unclear or incomplete outcomes
 Discuss how Outcomes will be assessed, what methods will be
used to show and to provide evidence to document
learning, what criteria for success is established (e.g., % correct
for each).
 Reciprocate & review the Outcomes of the other
teaching Team(s).
 Teams revise Outcomes & assessments based on reviews
and discussion on Google Docs.
