Assignment Title: ADDIE: Analysis: Needs Assessment and Predesign
Assignment Overview: In this class, you will practice with some very basic instructional design
strategies by creating a course in the Moodle Learning Management System. This week, you will start
the analysis phase of the project, create your Moodle course, and participate in a Wiki activity. You
will complete your needs assessment using a worksheet based on the ADDIE Instructional Design
Model. We will review the ADDIE model in more depth in Lesson 2, but this website provides a brief
overview of ADDIE to get you started.
Deliverables: Assignments are due on or before Sunday at 12:00 Midnight of week. Submit the
instructional design template as an attachment using the file name protocol NUR670 Week 1_last
name
Assignment Details: There are three components to this week’s assignment. Be sure to address
each one in the required format.
1. Start the analysis phase of the ADDIE instructional design model using the attached
Instructional Design Worksheet. You will add to this document each week as you create your
course.
2. Check your student email for instructions for logging on to your Moodle course shell. Become
familiar with the LMS and how things work. Look at the Moodle instruction document and the
tutorials.
• Create a faculty profile with background information, teaching philosophy, and photo.
• Put your course description and learning outcomes in the Getting Started description area.
• Find an image that represents your course content and upload it to your course home
page.
3. Wiki Post (on Canvas): Canvas does not have an actual Wiki tool, but we will use the “pages”
feature to create a common document. Find an interesting educational technology tool not
covered in the Week 1 Lesson and share it on the Wiki Page. Provide an overview of the tool
and suggest at least two ways you and/or your students could use this tool in a classroom
activity or out of class assignment. Be specific. Start your entry with the name of the tool and
your name. Upload an image that represents the tool. Resize it to no more than 150 X 150.
Make it appear to the right of your title, flush right alignment. A sample entry is provided at the
top of the page. Do not select a simulation program. We will cover simulation later. Read
the lesson to see examples of technology tools.
Grading: All three components are graded in one rubric associated with the Week 1 Assignment. Be
sure that you complete all activities in the assignment. Read the rubric carefully. The assignment
components will be graded on content, organization, presentation, writing mechanics, and correct
APA formatting.
