In week 9 class, I really like the activity of job aids peer review. This was an extremely helpful activity especially for job aid creator. It's true that sometimes other people can see clearer and find errors than designers or creators themselves. Although I have developed my job aid draft for a long period of time, some missing or unclear steps were found while my group members were reading out loud my instruction and acting out what the instruction said. Moreover, I feel difficult in keeping balanced on the amount of information included in my job aid. I understand that it depends on who your audience is and what your audience needs, but I still have been struggling with having no idea how much prior knowledge my audience has. Lots of time we expect our audience should have known this and that as their basic knowledge and skills, but there are always some learners who are not as what we expect.
In terms of our major project, we started our website design in week9 and hopefully could complete the website construction before week10 because we need to do the trial run in week 11 in all the w200 course sessions. I think all of my teammates have experienced the fact that a good design takes time thinking and developing. During the process of website designing and developing, I feel so constrained by using design templates and design functions on the Wix website creator. Perhaps there's a need to learn advanced Dreamweaver skills so that I would be able to thoroughly present the whole instructional design ideas. To conclude, the knowledge and skills are somehow the same important in instructional design field.
