Go to the Discussion tab and participate in this discussion:

 * Please share your experiences with Advance Organizers.

**5.1 Background and Rationale** With the analysis and design of your instruction completed, you are ready to move into the development phase of your instructional design project. This is where you make all your plans a reality. In our architecture/building analogy, it is time to pour the foundation and start building the house.
 * This phase involves the following tasks:
 * Researching availability of existing materials/assets and decide what needs to be developed
 * Developing a detailed instructional plan
 * Pre-instructional strategies
 * Learning activities
 * Developing required instructional materials in various formats (print, graphics, posters, web pages, video, audio).
 * The development of instruction differs greatly depending upon your delivery method. During this week you will need to research the web for more information about your chosen method of delivery.

During this phase much of the lesson plan or training blueprint will be filled in to specifically define what is going to happen during the instructional event.

**Guiding Questions**
 * How can existing assets provide leverage for your development?
 * What is the trade-off between the time it takes to develop all new materials for instruction and the advantage of totally customized materials?
 * What role does the lesson plan/training blueprint play in the development of instruction? What parts of the lesson plan/training blueprint will be completed during the development phase?
 * How can Gagne’s “nine events of instruction” be used as a set of guidelines for full development?
 * What development challenges are presented by various delivery methods?

**Outcomes** By the end of this week’s lesson, you’ll be able to:
 * Research your chosen method of delivery for development procedures and tips.
 * Develop a lesson plan or training blueprint for an instructional topic.
 * Choose activities that enhance learning.
 * Develop an advance organizer for your instructional project.
 * Using Robert Gagne’s “nine events of instruction,” document your plans for developing your instructional unit.

**5.2 Project Deliverable** This week you will expand some of the information you created during the design phase and create a specific product that will be used in your instruction – an advance organizer. These two items are due on **by the end** of Week 5. This part of the development can take different formats depending on your environment and project. The basic goal is to expand on your project design to provide something that will be useful to you as you actually implement your training. Be sure to let your facilitator know which method you are using to accomplish this task. Here are some ideas:
 * Use the OCPA chart in the ADDIE template and add a column for learning activities that could be used to deliver the content.
 * Use a table or training blueprint that you have developed.
 * Use Gagne’s nine events of instruction as a guideline and describe how each event will be addressed.
 * Use the lesson plan template to define your lesson.
