Instructional Architect

Nutrition
Assessment
In order to ensure that my students were completing the tasks, I had them take some notes. On the first video that I have them watch they have to write three things that they learned from the video. In the second activity, the students had to take notes on what each nutrient does and one source of the nutrient. The last activity was a game where the students have to create a balanced diet so that the rocket ship can take off. At the end there is an option to print their menus. I have asked the students to print off their menus, and told them that I expected appropriate menus.

Implementation
I set up my IA as a homework assignment. It turned out to be pretty long so I would give students a couple of weeks to work on it. So I would type up something that had the web address on it with simple instructions (i.e due date, time management, etc.). After the due date I would have students take a small assessment that would be anonymous, to see if they learned what they needed. If not then, I would take time in class to teach it.

I thought it was a very good idea to have them work on it as a homework assignment. One question that arose was how would you deal with students who might not have access to the internet?
