Sequencing description
The type of sequencing that emergingIDs will be utilizing is Learning-related sequencing
Identifiable prerequisite: the person wanting to learn from this instruction will need to own or possess an IPod
Familiarity: Bringing information regarding the IPod and the materials needed before getting started on the actual opening of the IPod backing.
Difficulty: We will be in the 30-60 min presentation, teaching in order from the time you take off the backing to the IPod to the time you put that cover back on and charge the IPod. From the less difficult to the most difficult back down to the less difficult procedure
Interest: We will be bringing interest into the picture by way of visual instruction. As we feel that even as detailed as an instruction we create without pictures it would be difficult to gain interest in wanting to learn
Development: The group will make sure that the development of the instruction will be understandable and in words that are easy to read and comprehend before moving on to the next step. As there is very little room for mistake.

Instructional Message:
This is a preinstructional strategy overview. This portion of the design document is a step by step guide assisting the team of instructors with understanding the learners as well as to give the learner an overview of what to expect. This section will cover the pretests, behavioral objectives, overviews, and advance organizer on the instruction on how to install a hard drive in an IPod. Each strategy listed above will cover the function, content structure, learner, and task attributes.

The pretest is utilized to give the instructional designer, the learner's prior knowledge and abilities to successfully perform the given task. This pretest is a series of questions related to the topic. Please see below:

OVERVIEW
(The overview is a summary of the content that lies ahead. It gives the learner an idea of what task they will learn)

Overview of emergingIDs' instruction of how to install a hard drive in an IPod
The instruction in this tutorial will have you changing the hard drive in an IPod in no time. This learned task will be beneficial to you as it will help you cut cost. If you do not have access to a computer to view the informative instruction, then a hard copy of the manuel instruction can be printed for you. This instruction is powerpoint base and has a very limited reading requirement. Most of the instruction can be viewed with pictures of how to steps or very detailed instruction to follow along with.

ADVANCE ORGANIZERS
("An advance organizer is written at a higher level of abstraction and serves to provide a conceptual framework to increase the meaningfulness of the content" (Morrison, Ross, Kalman, & Kemp, 2001).

Advance Organizer of emergingIDs' instruction of how to install a hard drive in an IPod
The purpose and intent of this instruction is to have anyone with interest in learning how to change the hard drive in an IPod be able to perform this procedure with ease. You will be able to do this in the least amount of time and money as it would take a professional to do. When this instruction is finished you will be able to open the IPod, unplug the hard drive and remove from its terminal. You will be taught on what type of hard drive is needed for the model of IPod needing to be changed. You will learn how to place the new hard drive into the cavity of the IPod and after, learn how to replace everything previously taken out. And lastly, how to restore and charge your IPod.

Text design
Our Implementation resources will be contained within a PowerPoint presentation. A series of slides will guide the learner through the process of replacing their iPod hard drive in a thorough and detailed manner. Given the delicate pieces that need to be handled and manipulated, our text will reinforce a message of caution when handling the inner pieces of the device. Each slide will contain limited information so that the learner isn’t overwhelmed with detail at one time. By looking at the instructions in an individual, step by step basis, the learner can view the project on a smaller scale, rather than focus on the more intimidating entire project. This should help reduce any anxiety an inexperienced learner may feel. We are also giving consideration to who our learners may be. According to one source, a large percentage of iPod consumers are young, tech savvy and wealthy. They are not likely to need our instruction with this process (iBummed, 2011). Our program will target those who are new to this technology and could benefit from saving money by replacing the less expensive hard drive rather than buying a new device.
Within the PowerPoint presentation, we will embed video segments so the learner can watch an experienced guide perform the series of tasks related to replacing the hard drive. Video will have more of an impact than a series of pictures. However, still shots may be incorporated as needed. Given the size of the iPod parts the learner will be working with, the process may be improved with close up still shots of the parts. We will ultimately let our video segments decide of still shots are necessary. If the footage is clear and the process is discernible, we won’t use them. Cleaner is better for this instructional program. One of the things we can bring to the learner is a piece of mind and confidence that they can complete the project. In order to do this, we want to promote the idea that this project isn’t as complicated as it may seem at the on set.

PowerPoint:

PowerPoint provides a great deal of flexibility to deliver an instructional message and heighten the learner’s awareness. There are a myriad of advantages to PowerPoint. To explore them all would take quite a few pages. I will point out a few and leave the rest to your own investigation. To start, an instructor can incorporate timed delays between questions or points to be made. This is more than just a slick, artistic or stylish element. It has a practical purpose. Rather than creating a slide for each question, several questions or subsequent points can be contained on one slide. The value of the timed delays is that the learner isn’t flooded with all of the information in a single shot. From the learner’s perspective, this can be overwhelming. It also opens up the possibility that they will begin to move ahead on the slide. In doing so, their focus isn’t staying on the point the instructor is detailing. They run the risk of missing a key element of the design by drifting to future steps. By delaying the entry of information, the page is clean which makes it easy to stay focused on the current element. With those last points made, let’s not discount the value of an attractive backdrop or creative font choices. A visually stimulating screen appeals to the senses and pulls the learner in. This is something PowerPoint offers. In addition to the stock gallery of images and backgrounds, the designer can create customized visuals as well. None of these features are available if the message is being delivered in a simple word document. Additionally, PowerPoint allows the designer to incorporate pictures, links to other resources and embedded video segments.

Second Life:

Second Life is a virtual world that anyone can enter into. It has developed beyond a planet. It is a virtual universe. Users can teleport to amazing locations that already exist, but the possibility is there to create your own location. Upon entering, you arrive at Welcome Island which is a tutorial to assist you with basic functions like walking from place to place, communicating, sitting, standing and flying. It also assists you with teleporting to your desired destinations. This virtual world has its own economy. You can buy property, build a home, shop, travel and even create your own business. Universities like MIT and Notre Dame have created virtual classrooms where your avatar, which is your virtual self, can go on campus and sit down in the classroom. Since the possibilities exist to travel to various places, the class could take a field trip at any time. An instructor could build current or historical locations and take his or her learners to their 3d creations. If you can imagine Clarence Darrow delivering his opening remarks of the Scopes monkey trail, in a Tennessee courtroom, you can create it in Second Life and take a class for a one of a kind experience. To a more practical learner, this may seem superfluous and unnecessary. For the purposes of our instructional program for replacing an iPod hard drive, it wouldn’t provide any advantages over pictures and actual video. None the less, Second Life is a fascinating environment that can engage the learner in a new and exciting way.
