Learning Experience Design Foundations Review

What is a goal of instructional design? 

• Solve problems related to marketing of a training 

• Solve problems related to hiring the correct subject matter expert 

• Solve problems related to the learner experience 

• Solve problems related to technology integration 

What is a characteristic of learning experience design?

• It requires emerging technology integration. 

• It helps users learn in a human-centered and goal-oriented way. 

• It starts with the prototype development process. 

• It emphasizes the instructional delivery more than the learning process. 

Which question would be appropriate in guiding a designer during the implementation phase of the human-centered learning design process? 

• What are the goals and desires of my target audience? 

• How will I measure the success of my solution? 

• How do I make sense of what I have learned about my audience? 

• What feedback will help me improve my prototype? 

What is a key difference between the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) and the ADDIE approach? 

• The SAM approach starts with the evaluation phase, while the ADDIE approach starts with the assessment of instructions. 

• The SAM approach takes more time to complete than the ADDIE approach.  

• The SAM approach is a more iterative process than the ADDIE approach. 

• The SAM approach follows the Understanding by Design (UbD) approach, while the ADDIE approach does not. 

What is a key characteristic that distinguishes the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) from both ADDIE and the Understanding by Design (UbD) approach? 

• Constant iterative process 

• Nonsystematic approach 

• Backward design process 

• Linear workflow 

A designer interviews an instructor who just finished teaching a course. The instructor says that the course excited learners and that the provided resources assisted students in learning the required information. The designer says, “That’s wonderful!” and asks questions to further understand the successes of the course. 

Which phase of the Design Thinking Process is this designer in? 

• Define 

•  Ideate  

• Empathize 

• Prototype  

Which step in the ADDIE process is similar to the ideate stage of the Design Thinking Process? 

•  Evaluate 

• Implement 

• Design

• Develop 

Which grammar activity aligns with the behaviorist approach?

• Learners engage in peer editing and discuss suggested edits together.

• Learners create instructional videos for their peers on an assigned grammar rule. 

• Learners edit sample sentences and then correct them using an answer key. 

• Learners create a humorous image to illustrate the importance of a grammar rule.

Which learning activity aligns with the cognitivist approach? 

• Collaborating to create a trivia game with questions specific to a topic  

• Completing repeated drills and memorization of a topic 

• Reflecting on prior experiences with a topic 

• Working as a group to create a mock podcast about a topic 

Which learning activity aligns with the cognitivist approach? 

• Learners compete in a team trivia game that is about a novel, the time period the novel was published in, and the author’s life.  

• Learners read a chapter of an assigned novel and discuss it with peers in an online forum.  

• Learners create a poster to visually organize information about a novel and how the novel relates to their prior life experiences. 

• Learners work collaboratively to write a short play based on a chapter of a novel.
