Evaluation and Implementation (3)

• 

  Evaluation and Implementation

  This competency domain recognizes the importance of evaluation in instructional design. Without some sort of evaluation, the instructional designer does not know whether or not the proposed intervention meets its objectives and is successful. Such information can then be used to determine the appropriate revisions need in instructional design plans and materials. Finally, through the evaluation work, the instructional designer can become more aware of any issues that need to be addressed with the implementation, dissemination, and diffusion of the interventions. Learners will be expected to showcase mastery in two competency areas: Evaluate instructional and non-instructional interventions. Design a plan for dissemination and diffusion of instructional and/or non-instructional interventions.
