Final Report
learner Analysis
The results were that the audience was expected to be broad, with all kind of educational levels and backgrounds. The expectation was to have from kindergarten teachers up to university level teachers, school board members, administrators, owners and all kinds of education-related individual that were interested into the transition of traditional to online settings. It was highly expected that the audience could lack of advanced English levels or could not speak English at all.
TASK ANALYSIS
Context analysis
The context was determined to be at a home environment, with low and basic resources for teachers, who should have access to internet and have available a notebook or computer desktop to prepare and elaborate the online courses.
Most of these instructors had basic to no skills in online teaching and technology as well, which is a context that they were expecting it would be the same for their students.
Design
aND DEVELOPMENT
rEPORT
The instructional model chosen was Agile project management (AGILE), due to the need to have more flexibility for the design and development of the instructional product.
Also some steps of the Dick & Carey model were followed.
With that context, it was developed a PowerPoint slide presentation, using what was determined by the IDT Department as basic information and general topics that were delivered to them in Spanish, their native language, for them to feel more comfortable. The slides were designed following Mayer’s principles for multimedia learning (Mayer, 2009). The presenter was expected to engage with the participants by using real-life situations for them to identify themselves with the topic. A survey was prepared to assess the teachers about the topic after the presentation.

REPORT
