Instructional Design Brief
Project Title: Writing Instruction for Computer Science Majors
Target Audience: Junior-level undergraduate Computer Science students; also applicable to graduate-level CS courses.
Rationale:
Some students have difficulty with basic writing abilities, including paragraph structures, thesis development, and integrating research. This module supplements the Pro-Seminar Writing Lab (Graduate Writing Assessment Requirement) to reinforce these skills interactively without adding class time.
Objectives:
- Identify tools for organizing ideas for academic writing.
- Explain topic sentence components and their relation to the thesis.
- Describe supporting paragraph elements relative to the thesis.
- Define thesis statement properties and their role in academic writing.
Instructional Strategies:
Behaviorist approaches guide practice and skill refinement, informed by Gagné’s Nine Events and Clark & Mayer’s Principles of Multimedia Instruction.
Activities / Learning Exercises:
- Analyze sample paragraphs for topic sentences, supporting details, and thesis alignment.
- Draft paragraphs with guided prompts, followed by self-review and interactive feedback.
- Use prewriting tools to structure assignments effectively.
Assessment:
- Knowledge checks embedded in the module.
- Pre- and post-instruction assessments via multiple-choice and true/false items (Google Form).
Graduate Professional Client Project
This project was a team collaboration that I coordinated. Our sole purpose was to create a storyboard to generate ideas for a learning strategy in relation to writing at the higher education level for military officers advancing in their rank.
Our client, and subject matter expert, however, did not require us to implement evaluation strategies. We were informed that the client’s design team would be taking that on in accordance with their curriculum programming.
Our team had some difficulty not creating the evaluation metrics, as they were engrained within us from our faculty to provide. To that effect, our professor for this course implored us to add something of metric value, as it was part of completing the assignment. We explained to our client this was a feature we could not miss.
Knowledge checks are evident in the document, but the metrics were formulated in then slide note feature at the time of submission.
