Shontell Woods is the Director of the Rothwell Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence College of Aviation at the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide. Woods presented with Marquita Powell, an Instructional Designer at Embry Riddled, on collaboration. The title of their session was “Fostering Collaboration: The ADDIE Model’s Role in Higher Education.” Powell noted that they work remotely from Charlotte, NC. Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Wold Wide has 1,114 faculty for 19,340 students with nine-week terms. They have several campuses including Daytona, Florida. (Woods’ location). Fifty two percent of the population of students has military connections. Terms overlap and result in about 900 courses! There are three colleges: sciences, business, and aeronautical sciences. Powell described the ADDIE Model Framework. The steps are:
- Analysis to identify learning needs and student characteristics.
- Design to create learning objectives and select teaching strategies.
- Development to produce instructional materials and activities.
- Implementation to deliver the course and engage learners.
- Evaluation is the last step to assess effectiveness and revise as needed. This all is a circular process.
The first session is the analysis meeting with instructional designer(s) and the reviewer, designer, and senior or director of ID. The instructional consultant is also invited along with an academic advisor. Powell spoke about active listening, appreciative inquiry, collaborative problem-solving, and constructive feedback are needed for effective consultation. Ninety percent of faculty are adjuncts. Powell noted that they work collaborative using project management software.
