Session Overview
  • Review two support models for the design,
    development and delivery of instructional

    environment
  • Compare and contrast methods of project
    budgeting, time tracking, and resource management
  • Compare and contrast project management timelines
    and troubleshooting

Penn States World Campus IDD
  • A faculty support unit for the design
    development of instructional materials delivered
    in a variety of distance learning formats
  • Independent Learning (200 print-based/tech
    enhanced)
  • World Campus (150 tech-based, print-supported)

Development Support Relationship

  • Faculty member content and pedagogy
  • IDD Unit
  • Instructional design
  • Project management
  • Distance education methods/pedagogy
  • Technical services
  • other

8
How much will this cost?

9
Rationale for Budget Model
  • Desire to quantify course development resources
  • Desire to better account for dollars w/Academic
    unit
  • Needed to control costs (place parameters on
    faculty)
  • Desire for University buy-in/support
  • Desire for benchmarking data

10
Changing University Dynamics
  • Some academic units w/IDD resources
  • WC needed to be able to serve more course dev.
    projects
  • Hold WC as cost accountable

11
Starting Point
  • Categorized IDD process (10 major steps)
  • Identify tasks/function
  • Assigned time per task
  • Developed rates based on time tracked
    data/function and number of staff assignable

12
Centralized vs Assignable Costs
  • Centralized must be accounted for in budgeting
    and cannot be accomplished by outsource unit
  • Assignable can be performed by outsource unit

13
IDD Centralized Services
  • Five Steps
  • Course project management
  • Integrating course content into LMS
  • Course set-up in LMS
  • Administration to get course open
  • Course revisions (2nd time offerings, repeat
    offerings, major revisions)

14
IDD Assignable Functions
  • Five Steps
  • Instructional design
  • Instructional materials development
  • Course materials production
  • Instructional materials management and
    administration
  • Course revisions

15
Course Type Breakdown
  • Not all courses are created equally
  • Basic- primarily text
  • Enhanced- a single media model
  • Multimedia- multiple delivery media

16
Staff time per project (hrs)
  • Instructional Designer
  • Instructional technologist
  • Editor
  • Graphic Artist
  • Print Producer
  • Production Specialist

150 50 80 39 20 20
17
Course Costs (IDD Produced)
  • Basic Model 30,705
  • Enhanced Model 35,767
  • Multiple Media 42, 913
  • Excludes faculty payment, marketing, student
    services and tech support

18
Revision Management
  • Developed budget model with reduction of time for
    second and then subsequent offerings
  • Second offering as much as 1/2 original
  • Subsequent offerings 1/3 original
  • highly dependent upon course

19
How long will this take?

20
Factors Affecting Development Time
  • How many faculty involved (multiple facultygt
    more time)
  • DE experience of faculty
  • Complexity of content
  • Amount of external software/resources
  • Faculty work load management

21
Development Cycle (theory)
  • Two semester process

Content Generation Pedagogical Model
Course Development Implementation
Course Delivery
September
January-May
June-August
22
Development Cycle (reality)
  • Two semester process

Content Generation Pedagogical Model
Course Development Implementation
Course Delivery
September
January-May
June-August
23
Development Time (Reality)
  • Typically plan on a 1 year cycle
  • Consider back-up plans
  • Practice good project management (communications)
  • Be flexible

24
Greatest Challenges
  • Content on time
  • Faculty commitment
  • Revision management
