Reflections:

Remembering:

I have done the tasks listed in the above table.

Understanding:

As part of my activities this week, I had to prepare drafts of two evaluation checklists that the faculty could use to evaluate their performance. Additionally, I prepared survey in Google Forms.  UofM faculty are expected to use the survey for giving feedback to the client.  Our team added this component so that the client will have data to use in order to improve the Instructional Guide later on.  This shows that instructional product has to be improved continuously so that it can serve its learners better. 

Applying:

The task of collecting data from users can be applied in many situations.  Even in teacher-based instruction, collecting data from learners is important for the success of the instruction.  After collecting such data, different improvements can be made accordingly.  The improvements can be done in the delivery method, media usage, testing qualities, and other elements of the instruction.  

Analyzing:

While writing the survey, I had to apply analytic skills to identify components or qualities of the instructional resource.  Taking such approach is helpful because the data that will be obtained from the survey will be significant in improving the instruction further.   The analysis will ensure that all major parts of the instruction are evaluated by the users.

Evaluating:

I had successful experience this week.  The activities gave me more opportunities to think in detail how the instructional resource is going to look like.

Creating:

The next task is to prepare final draft of content for the instruction.  Moreover, I will also review the instructional treatment further.
