Assignment 1: Project Analysis

Due Week 3 and worth 180 points

In Week 1, you identified a need, such as new equipment, expanding curriculum, change in procedures, and so forth, that you want to address through the instructional curriculum you will create for your class project. You also provided a rationale why the problem or need exists. Each week is a building block as we move through the stages for planning instructional design to address the identified need. The purpose of this assignment is to document the planning process. Use the Internet to locate information that you believe will assist you with your project.

Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you:

1. Create a needs analysis for the identified need.
2. Determine the learner characteristics for the identified need.
3. Create three (3) objectives from the cognitive, behavioral, and affective domains for the identified need.
4. Create a procedural analysis flowchart using Excel, Visio, or one (1) of their equivalents such as OpenOffice or Dia. In the flowchart, identify the starting points, decision steps, and ending points related to the learning task. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

1. Include at least two (2) references (no more than ten [10] years old) from material outside the textbook. Note: Appropriate academic resources include reputable Websites, scholarly texts, and peer-reviewed articles. Wikipedia and other wikis do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
• Include charts or diagrams created in Excel, Visio, MS Project, or one (1) of their equivalents such as Open Project, Dia, and OpenOffice. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze theories and models of instructional design in relation to learner and program needs.
• Analyze trends, standards, resources, and issues related to instructional design.

• Use technology and information resources to research issues in instructional design and development.

• Write clearly and concisely about issues in instructional design and development using proper writing mechanics.

Additionally, attached is the Week 3 Assignment 1 sample paper. Please pay very close attention to the APA format of the papers and please use the EXACT format of the sample paper. when you develop your own paper. In other words, use the sample papers as a template to develop your own paper. Each paper that is submitted MUST include the exact same headings as the sample papers. The headings should be placed above each paragraph as shown in the sample papers.  In-text citations and source integration must also be embedded throughout the papers. Remember, if in-text citations and source integration is not included in your papers, it implies that you have plagiarized your work. In addition, ALL papers MUST be in APA style with a cover page, a running header, and a reference page. References should not be older than 10 years and ALL references must include a year of publication or a date that it was retrieved. ALL papers MUST be typed and doubled spaced using Times New Roman size 12 font. Again, it will be very important to review the assignment requirements and expectations for each major paper that will be submitted.  You will have 2 attempts at submitting your paper via the blackboard system. If your paper is not submitted in the EXACT format as the sample papers which also includes being submitted in PDF, it will not be graded and you will be asked to re-submit it in the correct format so that is can be graded properly.   Additionally, PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ANY ASSIGNMENTS TO ME. ALL PAPER ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN PDF THROUGH THE BLACKBOARD PLATFORM TO BE GRADED USING THE BLACKBOARD PDF GRADING TOOL.  ANY ASSIGNMENTS SUBMITTED TO ME VIA EMAIL WILL NOT BE GRADED. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILTY TO MAKE SURE THAT ASSIGNMENTS ARE SUBMITTED (UPLOADED) TO BLACKBOARD PROPERLY (Correct APA format and in PDF).  Lastly, please do not ask to resubmit your papers for a higher grade, such requests will not be granted.  

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
