The Third Level of Analysis: Selecting and Planning the Tactics of Instruction

In Part 2 we reviewed the instructional design decisions that should be taken regarding the overall structure of the system we are planning. We considered decisions on sequence, methods, group size and structure, media and other resources required to implement the instructional plan. These decisions can be taken either at the ‘project’ level, for the course or course unit as a whole, or at a more detailed curriculum level, that considers each major terminal objective individually. We referred to these as the first and second levels of instructional design.
