MIT 500 Instructional System Design: Theory and Research
MIT 530, Evaluation and Change in Instructional Development, is designed to introduce to the students the process and the techniques involved in the evaluation of instructional and training modules, programs, and curricula. This course also intends to equip the learners with knowledge and tactics of change management related to evaluation. In addition to the theoretical framework, this course provides students with hands-on experience in planning and conducting evaluation, collecting and analyzing data, and developing a plan, which identifies and reduces resistance to change in an organization and to ensure successful implementation of changes.
This course is
divided into three components: needs assessment, change management, and
summative evaluation.
1. Define basic terminologies associated with evaluation.
2. Explain the purposes and benefits of various types
of evaluation.
3. Plan and conduct needs assessment.
4. Plan and conduct
summative evaluation.
5. Design and develop
evaluation data collection instruments.
6. Collect, analyze, and interpret evaluation
data.
7. Report evaluation results.
8. Define basic terminologies associated with change management.
2. Explain the main four elements involved in the diffusion of innovations.
3. Describe the stages of planned change.
4. Develop strategies to identify the key individuals/ groups in an organization who can impact planned change.
5.
Develop strategies to identify different types of potential
adopters.
6.
