Introduction/Executive Summary
Problem/Need Background
As the MIST program is an accelerated program, predominantly done online, it is
important for students to be ready for the first face-to-face (F2F) seminar. There has
been an identified need for students to be better prepared for the first F2F MIST
session, in order to be prepared for this fast paced program. Through the student
survey on the F2F seminar, some students expressed that they were not satisfied with
the seminar. This was due to unclear guidance regarding necessary technologies
students should bring to the seminar and incomplete MIST organizational procedures
for student access to programs. In addition, the students varied levels of knowledge
and skills about such technologies, reduced the efficiency of the seminar instruction,
due to time spent bringing everyone up to the same level.

Goals and Objectives

The purpose of this instruction is to better prepare students for the F2F session, so that
the learners will make the most out of the F2F session.

Constraints
The learners who would be affected most by this instruction are new incoming students
in the MIST program at CSUMB. The access to this targeted audience to gather
information might be limited during learner analysis, since the prospective student group
for the new program may have not formed yet. Alternatively, learner analysis can be
conducted on current students enrolled in the first semester at MIST program in attempt
to design instruction that would fit the targeted audience.

Resources
Available resources include current MIST V students, MIST instructors, and possibly
previous MIST students. Previous survey results on the F2F seminar are available for
reference on iLearn. Also, software and computer tools are available, including
Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Internet, and online communication tools, such
as Skype, iLearn, and email.

Ethics/Diversity Issues
An important cross-cultural issue to consider is that the MIST students come
from diverse cultural backgrounds. The different learning environments that
students are familiar with is another cultural issue. This cultural aspect may
affect the learners role and expectations when coming to the F2F meeting
where they will be required to work in a group setting.

Needs Analysis
Problem or Need:
From the needs analysis survey, personal experience, and communication with MIST
faculty and students, there was identified need for instruction before the F2Fseminar to
make the session more productive for the students. The survey results suggested that
students were not satisfied with the F2F seminar and expressed frustration with
technical difficulty of the session. It was found that identified problems with the F2F
seminar exist in a few areas; administrative and technical issues, and the information of
the seminar content.
Current Performance Levels:
The survey result indicated that, although a lot of information regarding prerequisites for
the F2F seminar was provided via email, learners did not seem to have acquired
necessary information before coming to the seminar. Not having enough background
knowledge about topics and technology covered during the seminar, some students
found it hard to follow the seminar session. Also, students were not satisfied with the
amount of technical support provided during the session.
Desired Performance Outcomes:
Students should be able to come prepared to the F2F seminar with basic knowledge on
the topics to be covered, so that they would not be overwhelmed with new information.
Also, students should be able to focus on the seminar sessions without technical
difficulty.
Possible Causes of the Problem or Need
Incomplete course registration and account set-up and not enough understanding of the
topics covered during seminar are attributed to be the causes of the unsatisfying
outcomes. Lack of knowledge on course registration requirement may be caused by not
effective communication media. More structured and detailed information about the F2F
seminar session will improve this problem. For the technical aspect, having to deal with
the account set-up and access to iLearn created some frustration during the seminar
program. However, the MIST program is responsible for technical support and thus, this
instruction will not address the issue other than learners part, which is brining a
wireless functional personal computer.
Proposed Appropriate Interventions & Why intervention addresses the need:

Kiyoung Sohn:

ksohn@csumb.edu

IDD: Are You Ready for the F2F Seminar?

2009

Students should feel prepared for the seminar knowing what to expect in terms of
program contents and coverage. The performance gap would be closed by advance
information about the seminar topics and technical support. With the completed course
registration and account set-up on iLearn, students should be able to focus on the
activities during the seminar program. Also, there was expressed need for more detailed
introduction about what will be covered during the seminar. More detailed information
about the topics covered during the seminar would help prepare students to come with
necessary skills and attitude for the seminar. Therefore, a proposed solution is to
provide a more structured guide of information, such as registration requirements and
more detailed information of topics covered during the seminar sessions, in order to
ensure the learners success of the F2F seminar.
Methods/Protocols of Data Collection:
The primary target audience for this instruction is incoming MIST students. For this
need analysis, having in mind the limited access to the prospective student population,
current MIST students and MIST faculty were the participants. For the online survey
conducted with the help of the course instructor, MIST faculty and focus group were
given the survey. Due to short timeframe, only one faculty and two MIST V students out
of selected group of five responded. Additionally, personal observation and
communication with the faculty and peers were taken into consideration.
The primary data collection method was the online survey questionnaires. The sampling
method was convenience/judgmental procedure due to the limited access to the target
population. Descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the findings of the survey
since the results were open-ended responses.

Learner/Target Audience Analysis

The optimum learners of this instruction would be incoming students to the MIST
program at CSUMB. Current MIST V students, who experienced the first F2F session
and felt the need for pre-F2F instruction, are alternative target audience for this
instruction. Descriptive profile type was used. In an attempt to make the assessment
free of bias and stereotyping, and to address any ethical and cross-cultural concerns,
the questionnaires were carefully developed so that the questions are strictly related to
relevant learner characteristics. Also, the survey was answered anonymously.

Learner Profile
MIST students are all adults whose ages range from twenties to fifties. The learners
have undergraduate degrees or equivalent and are admitted to the accelerated masters
program, which is predominantly done online. The learners all have experience using
technology and are comfortable using computer tools and software to varied degrees.
The target audience is a group of multicultural individuals, some of whom are from
different countries other than the United States, and have different first languages. Most
of the learners are local to the Monterey County and are full time workers. Some are
part-time workers and a stay-home moms. Many of them are teachers in different
settings including K-12, and higher education including a military language institution.
Some learners work for the city and companies. Most of them have previous experience
of attending a face-to-face seminar.

Learner Characteristics
Prerequisite knowledge for this instruction is learners basic knowledge of computer
tools and software including Microsoft PowerPoint and Word, Web-based instruction.
Learners should have an audio functioning computer with Microsoft PowerPoint and
Word programs installed with Internet access. Learners should have means to visit the
CSUMB campus to register. Learners also should have English comprehension skills to
follow the instruction and transfer their learning. Learners are motivated to start the
intensive program and spend some time to get better prepared for the first face-to-face
seminar.

Work Setting (Environmental) Analysis

Relevant Work Setting Characteristics
MIST programs mission, goals, plans, philosophy, and perceived values of the program
need to be considered for the instruction to be successful. The success of learners in
the F2F seminar appears to be in line with the organizations vision of providing high
quality education. It appears to be important to make the first F2F seminar successful to
start the fast-paced online MIST program. A specific characteristic to this instruction is
that this instruction will be the first one the incoming students will experience in the
MIST program. This nature of the instruction may impact the learners involvement and
participation.

Development
Characteristics
Important characteristics of the development environment that may affect how the
designer would proceed with the instructional design include the result of the needs
assessment. The findings from the needs analysis confirmed the need of more
structured, clear guidance before the F2F seminar. To achieve the organizational
mission to provide high quality education, getting ready for the seminar properly will
make the F2F seminar successful for the students and ultimately can pave the way to
provide high quality education to the students.
Constraints
Since the program environment is online for the most part and the communication is
done online, there may be some time delay in acquiring feedback as opposed to on-thespot, face-to-face contact. Such delay in gathering feedback information may impact the
development stage of instruction. Also, the limited amount of data collected from the
needs analysis may be a critical issue in representing the need for the entire target
population. Time and knowledge of software and hardware available for developing
instruction of the designer may limit the maximum effect of the project.
Resources
MIST V students, and instructors are resources that the designer can refer to for their
expertise in developing web-based instruction. Information and knowledge about the
tools and software are available on iLearn and other online resources.

Delivery
Characteristics
One of the characteristics of the delivery environment that the designer would want to
assess in determining the best method of access is learner involvement. Since the
method of the instruction is web-based PowerPoint instruction, the instruction should
mainly rely on online methods. Thus, how willingly the participants involve themselves in
online activities would impact how the designer would deliver the computer-based
instruction. Another characteristic which needs to be considered is instructor support.
How much the instructors will support the learners during instruction of the pre-F2F
session needs to be determined. Instructor support outside the main instruction will also
be provided with regards to additional questions and problems which may occur during
the transfer of the learning. For example, additional help may be available in completing
the course registration. How much time the learners are willing to spend would be
another issue to consider in the delivery of instruction since the instruction will be
delivered prior to the official start of the MIST program. Also, innovation is another
concern because some learners may not be familiar with online instruction and feel
uncomfortable.
Constraints
It was decided that the instruction length will be three to five minutes and this time
constraint may impact the efficiency of the delivery environment. Learners familiarity
with delivery media, narrated Microsoft PowerPoint, may limit the maximum effect of the
delivery of this instruction.
Resources
MIST V students, and instructors are resources that the designer can refer to for their
expertise regarding the delivery of the instruction. The organization support in delivering
the instruction is available through web-based community, MySpace account.

Application
Characteristics
The characteristics of the application environment that may impact the use of this
instruction by learners include learners involvement and motivation. The degree that
learners willing to participate and commit to the F2F session and make the most out of
the seminar would affect the application of the instruction. Other characteristics to
consider include personal problems that may hinder the application of learning. Work

2009

problems may come into play when the physical and psychological fatigue resulting
from heavy work load and issues to deal with at their respective work sites.
Another question to ask would be whether instructors and the program managers
support exist for the continuous F2F seminar. This supervisor support will impact on the
learners transfer of the instruction. If so, the need for making the F2F session more
successful will be recognized by the target audience, MIST program students.
Constraints
There is no set time to view the instruction and transfer learning into practice because
the learners can participate in the instruction at their convenient time. Overwork of
learners personal life and work life may be carried into the application stage of the
instruction. Resources available for carrying out the learning may be in the way of the
application. For learners who may not live in the vicinity of the campus, San Jose, for
example, arranging time and a vehicle to visit the campus may be more challenging
than others. Also, the reduced summer business hour of the campus offices may be an
obstacle for full time workers who would find it hard to come to the campus for
registration.
Resources
As for course registration task, the campus registration office is available for additional
help in the application stage.

Ethics/Diversity
A cultural issue that may affect this instruction includes individual learning style.
Interactive online instruction may not be common practice among some cultures other
than the United States and some learners may have more difficulty than others.
Methods of Gathering Data
For the purpose of investigating the characteristics of the work setting, the designer
communicated with MIST student and made an observation on the learner population
and the organizations culture.

Design, Development & Implementation

Lesson Plan
Needs
The MIST program managers/faculty have identified that the face-to-face MIST seminar
has not met the participants expectations and they decided that there is a need for
instructional guidance for the participants to be better prepared for the face-to-face
session. This is an online instruction which will be delivered to incoming students prior
to the face-to-face seminar so the students are ready to start the MIST program.
Objectives
After watching the narrated PowerPoint instruction, the learners should be able to
acquire detailed information in regards to administrative and technical issues such as
course registration procedure, Otter ID for iLearn login, and should be able to complete
necessary steps to obtain them prior to the face-to-face session.
Audience
The target audience for this narrated PowerPoint instruction is incoming students who
are admitted to MIST program at CSUMB. The MIST program is an accelerated
graduate program that offers online courses to the students so that they are
professionally equipped with emerging technologies and knowledge in education and
training fields.
Anticipated constraints and challenges
Time constraints between the delivery of the instruction and the actual face-to-face
seminar may have an influence on learners success. Having this time limit in mind, it
would be important for the program manager/faculty to make sure that the instruction
can be delivered at the earliest possible time after deciding the admission of incoming
students. The required time limit for delivery of instruction (three to five minutes) can be
a challenge on the designer side in designing comprehensive instruction to deliver the
identified needs. The learners may have to spend extra time in completing the tasks,
such as downloading learning objects and filling out forms, other than the actual delivery
time. Lastly, although it is assumed that all the learners are familiar with PowerPoint
presentations, they may encounter a technical difficulty following the narrated instruction
with unknown reasons.
Treatment/ delivery mode
The treatment of the instruction will be based on PowerPoint slides with narration, which
will include text, visual graphics and links directed to learning objects. Since the
instruction will be provided prior to the first official meeting, which is the face-to-face
Kiyoung Sohn:

ksohn@csumb.edu

16

IDD: Are You Ready for the F2F Seminar?

2009

MIST seminar, the instruction will be delivered online to reach dispersed learners
efficiently.
The narrated PowerPoint instruction will last 3 to 5 minutes in length.
Prerequisites
It is expected that the learners are comfortable using the PowerPoint software. Also, the
learners are capable of using web-based instruction, of getting to the linked objects.
Learning theories/ Instructional strategies
In designing the instruction both cognitive and behavioral learning theories were
considered. Schemata theory was considered in designing the instruction by activating
learners previous experience of any face-to-face seminars, so that they can relate their
personal experience to the instruction and be contextualized with the topic. In an
attempt to bring about the desired behavioral changes in their readiness for the seminar,
some tasks required behavioral responses. For example, to make sure the learning
occurred, the learner will be asked to complete the form with appropriate information. To
address the advantage of behavioral aspect of learning and promote learner
involvement the materials will be provided in a way that encourages the learners to
actively engage in the instruction as they move along the slides, rather than viewing the
instruction passively. The learners will be asked to respond to the questions posed
during the instruction by pointing or clicking action buttons with the mouse and follow
the links to locate necessary materials to complete the tasks. Background music with no
words will be linked with the slides and narration in an attempt to provide a pleasant
setting for the learning environment. Also, in an attempt to tap into different learning
styles, visual images and graphics will be embedded for visual learners.
Title
The title of this instruction is: Are You Ready for the F2F MIST Seminar?
Production
Prerequisites for this instruction include knowledge and skills using and having access
to software and computer tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, and a
computer equipped with recording capacity including a microphone. Visual aids that are
related to MIST program, registration, different software and tools that MIST requires
will be used to enhance the presentation. Internet access is necessary in producing this
instruction. The course registration form and the face-to-face seminar schedules and its
short description will be required to provide the links in the instruction. There will be no
additional personnel needed for the instruction other than the designer.

Evaluation
A simple quiz section will be embedded after the first part of the instruction to check the
learners comprehension. Also, the learners will be asked to download objects and fill
out the obtained registration form that they will need in applying the learning, which is
visiting the campus to register. After the second part of the instruction, another quiz will
be added to check the viewers descriptive knowledge on the content of this instruction.

Evaluation
Summative Assessment:
An embedded quiz at the end of the Part 1 of the instruction will be provided for the
learners to take because quizzes are easy and a quick way to assess the learners
descriptive knowledge on the content. The learners will also be asked to complete the
task by registering and report the status to the instructor. This is to make sure the
learning has occurred and transferred to the actual real-world setting. For Part II of the
instruction, a short quiz to check the comprehension will be provided at the end of the
instruction. To consider any ethical issues, the questions will be directed solely to the
content of the instruction. The results of both quizzes and the progress report will be
analyzed to evaluate the desired learning outcomes.

Formative Evaluation:
In order to evaluate the developed instruction, the beta-run of the instruction will be
conducted to MIST faculty and students on August 29, 2009 during the face-to-face
meeting before implementing the instruction. The delivery of the pilot testing will be
done on MySpace, where all the participants for the beta-run would have access to. The
feedback and comments will be collected from the survey questionnaires by MIST
faculty and students, who will decide whether the instruction would solve the identified
problems, and how effective and efficient the instruction will be in so doing. The
feedback and comments provided by the pilot-test audience will be considered to
improve any shortcomings discovered.
