As you draft your post this week, describing how you will use learning theory and an instructional design model to select an instructional technology and to create appropriate assessments. Be clear about the alignment between all of the elements created during the design process. The assessment needs to assess the learning objectives, the technology needs to support instruction and assessment, and it's essential to be explicit about why you choose the tools and assessments. Following is an example:

• Goal - Managers across departments need to level-set metrics used to evaluate employees who serve similar functional tasks (ex. customer service).


• Objective - Managers evaluate employee functional tasks using common performance metrics that deliver a rating with clear feedback that supports the assigned rating.


• Assessment - Each manager applies performance ratings to evaluate employee performance for common functional tasks. Employees who serve similar functional tasks receive a performance review that includes the common performance rating and clear feedback to support the rating.


• Technology - Something as simple as excel can be used as a tool to support the employee evaluation with common ratings and feedback - don't get caught up on this type of technology. To achieve the goal, managers will need instruction. There are numerous modes that instruction may take - there's no one right way, but rather it's important that your chosen mode be supported by research.
