Bringing
Design Online:
A Hands-On Workshop Applying Instructional Design Principles to Digital
Spaces
Friday, May 13, 2011
8:30 am – 3:00 pm
Pollak Library, California State University, Fullerton, 92831
As our institutions increase the number of distance and hybrid classes,
how can librarians bring what we’ve learned about effective
in-person
instruction to the Web? In this one day workshop,
attendees:
•
learned about instructional design principles
• saw how our colleagues have
managed to create online materials
that instruct and provide feedback
to their students
•
attended two hands-on sessions
that enabled participants to
practice applying instructional design principles and constructivist
ideas about learning when creating
online learning materials
The tools used in the sessions were Camtasia, a popular
screencasting software, and myUdutu, a free, online lesson builder.

Description of presentations
Keynote
Instructional design theories and principles have contributed to
education over the last century in military and workforce training,
classroom teaching and more recently, online learning. In the
1980’s
David Merrill was credited as the first educator to separate
instructional content from learner performance through use of his
Component Display Theory (CDT). By reflecting on content types (facts,
concepts, procedures, principles) separately from performance (find,
use, remember), instructors can clearly define learner outcomes. While
Merrill’s work has been applied to various instructional
settings, CDT
has proven to be especially useful in designing online instruction.
Dominique Turnbow demonstrated how to use CDT in combination with
Richard Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning
Theory to
design effective online learning.

Session
Descriptions
All participants attended either a basic or an advanced Camtasia
workshop and one myUdutu workshop.
Camtasia - Basic
In this 1 ½ hour session, participants worked in pairs as
they were introduced to Camtasia 7.1,
a proprietary multimedia software, that enables you to create and edit
screencasts with better audio and picture quality than you can get
using Jing.
In this workshop, participants learned tips and “best
practices” for screencast production and left being
able to:
•
set audio levels
• shoot a simple video
• edit the video
• produce the video
Camtasia -
Advanced
In this 1 ½ hour
session, participants learned how to use some
advanced
features in Camtasia that make it an effective tool for information
literacy instruction. This includes the ability to pan and
zoom in
order to focus students’ attention, add callouts that provide
additional explanatory information, and to create short quizzes or
other interactive exercises that will allow students to receive
feedback on their understanding of information literacy concepts or
skills.
