Week 4 Report

Supplemental Instructions (review the instructions and rubric in the course for more information):

Although the text and lectures suggest that the instructional designer may be responsible for course promotion, project schedule, and budget creation, as a faculty member, you will mostly likely not have a significant role in those tasks within higher education. However, some familiarity with those processes will enhance your competency as an instructional designer, especially within organizational contexts. Accordingly, this document is a sample planning and budget document. Institutions may use various forms of this document, which may often be separated into two distinct documents.

· Complete the basic information (e.g., course code, title, description, etc.) in the first table. You may continue to show development in your thinking on some of those items (e.g., title, description).

· Provide a one paragraph summary of most important things you have learned about instructional design during the first 3 weeks of the course project. Provide citations as helpful to support your perspective.

· Create the Project Schedule using the provided table. The text book also has a sample table.

· Provide a brief summary of three most important things you learned while completing the project schedule. Provide citations as helpful to support your perspective.

· Create the Staffing Budget Estimate using the provided table. The textbook also has a sample table.

· Provide a brief summary of the three most important things you learned while completing the staffing budget estimate. Provide citations as helpful to support your perspective.

· Complete the references at the end of the document for any citations used during your narrative summaries.

Complete This. Provide a one paragraph summary detailing the most important things you’ve learned about instructional design to this point in the process (i.e., from your week 1 – 3 work).

Project Schedule The project must be completed within a two month period. Starting Date: complete this Projected Completion Date: complete this The plan for the work and milestones are shown in the following timeline: Complete the columns and rows below. Add more rows as needed. Based upon the analysis, design, and development work that you completed during the first three weeks of the course project, break the instructional design work into a series of workflow tasks, expected dates of completion for each task, and who is responsible for each task. Also anticipate any remaining tasks to implement your curriculum (i.e., make it student ready). A sample table is provided in the course text (although, the sample table does not include a column for responsibility. It does have responsible persons in parenthesis at different points. However, a typical project management sheet would have a separate column/area for responsibility. Making those distinctions in this table will help you in the budget table below).
Dates:	Tasks:	Responsibilities: (who is responsible for tasks)
