During this Instructional Design course, we will work both individually and in groups to create plans for developing instruction. There is an emphasis on gaining a practical understanding of the instructional design process, conducting a front-end analysis, and making an instructional design blueprint.
My topic for all of these assignments is based off the idea of creating a standardized set of training modules for new prepress hires at my work at Impact XM.
Needs Assessment
While working on my needs assessment, I had to think about who would be my best Subject Matter Expert (SME) that I could talk with to develop more of my idea. I worked with my supervisor and talked about things that could be implemented in an updated training program. From there, I thought about different things that were needed based on our conversation and what problems are happening because of the gaps.

Objectives Practice
I found the objective practice worksheet to be incredibly useful. I was a little unsure if I really understood the difference between declarative and procedural objectives. Working on this worksheet really help solidify my understanding of it.
