Reflection

Remembering: What did I do?

See the Team-Assigned Tasks for specifics. Contained within this list is a considerable amount of development of narration and eLearning content, through Articulate Studio 2. I also communicated with my team, the sponsor, and client.

Understanding: What was important about what I did? Did I meet my goals?

This week, many disparate requirements came due. Some were involved in producing parts of the content, while others were involved in planning the formative evaluation. These were important because they have direct implications to the satisfactory completion of the course.
I was able to meet my goals, with the exception of sending the formative evaluation plan for Sponsor and Client send off by Friday.

Application: When did I do this before? Where could I do this again?

In other projects, in both cases. Also, the content production activities were similar to some of what I did last week.

Analysis: Did I see any patterns or relationships in what I did?

Not so much, apart from a regrettable procrastination (i.e., waiting for the weekend to complete the Formative Evaluation Plan), which seems to come up more often than I would like.

Evaluation: How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?

I feel that most of my assignments were done well (other than the lateness of the Formative Evaluation Plan, as noted above). The narration came out very nicely, and the content I produced worked well, minus a technical hiccup that will be fixed in the next iteration. The formative evaluation plan is solid and useful, I think.

Creation: What should I do next? What is my plan/design?

This week, I will receive Client and Sponsor sign-off on the formative evaluation plan, and communicate with the Client regarding the identification of eight to eleven candidates for one-to-one and small group trials.
I will record remaining narration, based upon the Lead Instructional Designer's content requests; create web-streaming video from the video clips we recorded on Thursday, and add these learning objects to the Lead eLearning Developer's Articulate course.
This alpha prototype should be uploaded on Tuesday, giving my teammates and I the better part of the week to perform design review and finalize a beta-1 prototype.
As soon as the beta-1 prototype is completed, I'll send it on to the Client for SME evaluation.
