TROY Online
EDU 6613: Principles of Instructional Design
T5, 2016
For course syllabus posted prior to the beginning of the term, the instructor reserves the
right to make minor changes prior to or during the term. The instructor will notify
students, via email or Blackboard announcement, when changes are made in the
requirements and/or grading of the course.
TROY ONLINE Courses at Troy University
All TROY ONLINE courses at Troy University utilize the Blackboard Learning System. In
every TROY ONLINE course, students should read all information presented in the
Blackboard course site and should periodically check for updates—at least every 48
hours. Remember: This is not a “correspondence course” in which a student may work
at his/her own pace. Each week there are assignments, online discussions, online
activities and/or exams with due dates. Refer to the schedule at the end of the syllabus
for more information.

http://shoptroytrojans.com/. For further instructions on how to order your course
materials go to “How to Order Textbooks”.
Students should have their textbook by the first week of class. Not having your textbook
is not an acceptable excuse for late work. Students who add this course late should
refer to the “Late Registration” section for further guidance.
Attendance Policy
In addition to interaction via Blackboard and email contact, you are required to contact
the instructor via email or telephone by the first day of the term for an initial briefing.
Although physical class meetings are not part of this course, participation in all
interactive, learning activities is required.

Method of Evaluation
1) ADDIE Review Paper (15 Points): Review the literature to learn about three different
ADDIE models:
• Describe each briefly and analyze all three to note commonalities among the
models.
• Describe the commonalities.
• Compare the Dick and Carey model with the broad idea of ADDIE and
describe how the Dick and Carey model compares with ADDIE.
The paper will meet all APA stipulations (no abstract required), and will not exceed six
pages of narrative (these six pages do not include title page and references). You may
use the Seels and Glasgow reading provided in Blackboard as one of your references.
2) Instructional Design Project (40 Points): Chapters 1 through 8 of our text describe the
activities that an instructional designer undertakes in a design which result in various
instructional products. Every week you will be assigned activities commensurate with
chapter information that will lead to the development of these various products for a
single, well-done instructional design project.
3) Discussion Participation (15 Points): Every week there will be discussion board
questions on the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS). You are expected
to participate in the discussion board, offering comments, replies, or inquiry to further
the topic’s analysis. The instructor’s role is to facilitate and evaluate the quality of
discussion; he will participate as needed. A quality posting offers an informed, well
written opinion. Restating obvious information; poorly written responses; or postings
that demean, attack, or complain are not acceptable. A rubric is included in
Blackboard which will help you respond to the various discussion board questions.
Each week a grade will be assigned using the rubric, and, at the end of the term, these
scores are averaged to provide a final score.
4) Quizzes (15 points): There are weekly chapter quizzes posted on Blackboard. Each
quiz must be completed by Sunday each week.
5) Final Exam (15 points): A final exam will be administered to determine your grasp of
the essential concepts of our text, Chapters 1 – 8.

Make-Up Work Policy
Missing any part of this schedule may prevent completion of the course. If you foresee
difficulty of any type (e.g., an illness, employment change, etc.) which may prevent
completion of this course, notify the instructor as soon as possible. Failure to do so will
result in failure for an assignment and/or failure of the course. (See “Attendance”
Policy.) If I have not heard from you by the deadline dates for assignments, exams, or
forums, no make-up work will be allowed (unless extraordinary circumstances exist,
such as hospitalization). Requests for extensions must be made in advance and
accompanied by appropriate written documentation. “Computer problems” is not an
Late Registration & Registration During The First Week of the Term
If you register during the first week of the term, you will already be one week behind. If
you fall into this category are expected to catch up with all of Week #1 and Week #2's
work by the end of Week #2. No exceptions, since two weeks constitutes a significant
percentage of the term's lessons. If you do not feel you meet this deadline you should
not enroll in the class. If you have registered, you should see your registrar, academic
adviser, GoArmyEd or Military Education officer to discuss your options. Also note that
late registration may mean you do not receive your book in time to make up the work
you missed in Week #1. Not having your book on the first day of class is not an excuse
for late work after the deadlines in the Course Schedule.

Incomplete Grade Policy
Missing any part of the Course Schedule may prevent completion of the course. If
circumstances will prevent the student from completing the course by the end of the
term, the student must complete a request for an incomplete grade.
Note: A grade of Incomplete, “I”, is not automatically assigned to students, but rather
must be requested by the student by submitting a Petition for and Work to Remove an
Incomplete Grade Form. Requests for an incomplete grade must be made on or before
the date of the final assignment or test of the term. A grade of “I” does not replace an
“F” and will not be awarded for excessive absences. An “I” will only be awarded to a
student presenting a valid case for the inability to complete coursework by the
conclusion of the term. It is ultimately the instructor’s decision to grant or deny a
request for an incomplete grade, subject to the policy rules below:
Policy/Rules for granting an Incomplete (I):
•
The student must request that an incomplete be issued.
•
The student’s progress in the course must be satisfactory at the time of the
request (e.g. the student must be passing the course), but is unable to
complete the course grading requirements because of documented
circumstances beyond his/her control.
•
If both of the above criteria are not met an incomplete cannot be granted.
•
An “I” is not a substitute for an F. If a student has earned an “F” by not
submitting all the work or by receiving an overall F average, then the F
stands.
TROY Email
All students were required to obtain and use the TROY email address that is
automatically assigned to them as TROY students. All official correspondence (including
bills, statements, emails from instructors and grades, etc.) will be sent ONLY to the
troy.edu (@troy.edu) address.
All students are responsible for ensuring that the correct email address is listed
in Blackboard by the beginning of Week One. Email is the only way the instructor
can, at least initially, communicate with you. It is your responsibility to make sure a valid
email address is provided. Failure on your part to do so can result in your missing
important information that could affect your grade.
EDU 6613, Reynolds
Page 5
Your troy.edu email address is the same as your Web Express user ID following by
@troy.edu. Students are responsible for the information that is sent to their TROY email
account. You can get to your email account by logging onto the course and clicking
“Email”.
Internet Access
This is an online class. Students must have access to a working computer and access
to the Internet. Students can use a TROY computer lab (if available), a public library,
etc., to insure they have access. “Not having a computer” or “computer crashes” are not
acceptable excuses for late work. Have a back-up plan in place in case you have
computer problems.
