Instructional Strategy and Media Selection

Designer's Notes: WebQuest

This unit does not cover attitudinal parts of the orientation to give the [removed] culture subject matter experts an opportunity to develop a face-to-face presentation on [removed] culture. The WebQuest grounded instructional strategy has been modified to meet the needs of [removed] pre-orientation paperwork requirements. WebQuests are an inquiry-based strategy in which most or all of the information used by the learners is electronic. They focus learners' time and attention on using rather than looking for information. They are also used to support learners' effort to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate. The critical attributes are pulled from the WebQuest template. This portion of the training is intended to be completely web-based.

Media Selection Rationale

Webpages were selected o deliver most instructional events for a number of reasons:

First and foremost, the context analysis indicated that the material is to be delivered via the Internet. As such, the webpages provide the most accessible means of providing a combination of audio, video, text and graphics.
The content and learning objectives for this unit is primarily focused on the acquisition and use of verbal information and filling out of forms. As such, the use of text and graphics are most essential which the webpages support in an effective manner, particularly with the availability of using hypertext links.
No face-to-face interaction is necessary for the web based events.
Allows for a student centered approach and will allow time for Human Resources to focus on culture and attitudinal goals in a face-to-face meeting.
Provides a dynamic environment to present orientation materials and multimedia. No longer will Human Resources need to keep stacks of pre-sorted photocopies and re-arrange prepared packets for information updates.
Serves as a job aid for future reference. Employees can refer to it for the most updated information whereas information from the new hire packet in paper form can become outdated.
Focuses on the dissemination of information. Hypertext links can be beneficial in communicating extra information.
Allows for immediate feedback.
Face-to-face time requirements are reduced for Human Resources staff.

Unit 1 Learner Assessment Alignment Table

Designer's Notes: The enabling objectives for Unit 1.0 focus on the acquisition of verbal information, declarative knowledge, and attitudes rather than higher order thinking skills, therefore a checklist is suitable for assessing new employee success in orientation. The terminal objectives for the new hire orientation focus on conceptual, verbal, and attitudinal domains. Each objective addresses the audience, required behavior, condition, and criteria or degree to which the performance will be measured.
