Course # and Name
Needs Assessment:
 The instructional/training problem or opportunity
 The analysis of the gap between what is available and what
should be available
 The recommended solution for filling the gap
Note: You may want to list each of these on a separate screen.
Instructional Goal:
 Use this slide to state your instructional goal. An “instructional
goal” is a broad statement of what you want the learners to
know and be able to do after completing your training module.
 Clearly state your instructional goal in 1-2 sentences.
Sample Goal Statements:

After completing this training, teachers will be able to transfer files from one
computer to another.

After completing this lesson, students will be able to identify the major parts of
the human body.
Performance Objectives:
 Objective #1 (written with Condition, Behavior, Criteria)
 Objective #2 (written with Condition, Behavior, Criteria)
 Objective #3 (written with Condition, Behavior, Criteria)
Sample Performance Objectives written in correct format:

Using Windows XP (CN), the learner will copy files from the host computer to
the guest computer (B) with 90% accuracy (CR).

Given a 3D model of the skeletal system (CN), the learner will name the major
parts of the human body (B) using common terminology (CR).
Assessment of Learning Outcomes:
 Use this slide to describe how you will evaluate the learner's
mastery of the concepts or processes addressed in your training
module.
 Use the following table to align your performance objectives to
your assessments. You should develop one assessment for
each objective.
Performance Objective
Assessment
1.
[Write Performance Objective 1 from
previous slide here... ]
[Describe how you will assess Performance
Objective 1. If you are going to use a quiz or
test, write your quiz questions here. If the
assessment involves the development of a
product, include the assessment criteria from
your rubric here.]
2.
[Write Performance Objective 2 from
previous slide here... ]
3.
[Write Performance Objective 3 from
previous slide here... ]
Learner Characteristics:
 Use this slide to describe your target audience. Provide at least
three learner characteristics along with a description of their
possible implications for the design of your instruction. When
thinking about the learner characteristics ask yourself the
following questions:
 Who is the intended audience for this training module?
 What skills do they have or need in order to successfully
complete the training?
 What additional information do I need to know about the
intended audience in order to develop the best training possible
for this group?
Learning Context:
 Use this slide to describe the learning context.
 Provide a description of the intended instructional setting (e.g.,
classroom, computer lab, workplace setting, at home, online,
etc.), including its characteristics, resources, and constraints.

Note: Use as many slides as necessary to cover the entire training outline.
Instructional Resources:
 List and describe the materials learners will need in order to
participate in the training (computer, whiteboard,
hardware/software, Internet access, manipulatives, and
supplemental materials).
Training Module Blueprint:
 Use the PowerPoint drawing and charting tools to create a
storyboard or flowchart that shows how the learner will move
through the training module.
 The blueprint should graphically display the lesson and its
components in the order in which they will appear in the lesson.
Formative Evaluation:
 Use this slide to describe the two strategies you intend to use to
evaluate your design plan (for example, Subject Matter Expert,
peer evaluation, small group evaluation).
 Briefly describe how you will carry out each evaluation strategy
(See Part 4 Evaluation and Revision for additional information
regarding acceptable formative evaluation strategies).
Summary
 Use this slide to summarize your design plan. Remind the
reader of the purpose and goal of the training module you plan
to develop.
