Design PlanMany Instructional designers must develop a blueprint for the instruction, called a Design Plan so they can communicate to a group of developers. In this assignment you’ll write a brief narrative (~1200 words) which describes your proposed instructional materials in detail (as if someone else were going to develop them). You’ll use paragraphs to describe your reasoning but also instructions for the learner. Use the five "learning components" (in chapter 8) as subheadings. Think of it as a set of design specifications for your Instructional developer(s), not as a lesson plan. A learner will literally be able to pick up your print-based materials, and do what is requested, without instructor facilitation. Remember this is the plan not the product (that’s Assignment 6). Finally, graphics (screen shots, sketches or photos) and tables are helpful to guide both your developers, and the learners.

Assignment Reflection
The design plan assignment was a great teaching tool that I will definitely use in my current workplace. Even though I am not in charge of the designers, this assignment taught me how to develop a plan to communicate to the instructional designer on my team. In writing a narrative for the designers, I was able to create a detailed proposal with clear instructions on material, content, activities, and assessments. My design plan taught me how the learning
components are incorporated, how to provide specifications on the design criteria, and how to describe the instructional material along with helpful
images to guide a developer.
