Instructional Materials The materials in this instruction project include a power point with text and a video demonstration. These strategies are to offer the most effective instruction for this particular task that will best meet the learner’s needs. The purpose of the power point is to supply the learner with each complete step in order to properly install a hard drive in an iPod. Since the presentation will be for individuals, this will create a learning environment that will meet the needs of the individual learner and will progress at their own personal pace. The power point will provide the learner with the opportunity to return to previous slides when needed to recall a step. The purpose of the video demonstration is to provide the learner with a visual of how to complete each step and possibly follow along with each step. Since the task is something that requires the use of technology, a demonstration showing the proper procedures helps the learner see how to complete the task and demonstrates each step at a time. With the demonstration being on video, the individual learner can review certain portions of the demonstration as needed to master a procedure. The individual can follow along as they complete the installation themselves and keep the instruction at their level of understanding. Both the power point and the video support one another depending on how the learner comprehends. The video is available if complete comprehension is not met with just the power point alone and the same goes for the power point as a support for the video. The reason these strategies were chosen was to promote interest in the instruction. The learner will be more interested in learning the procedures with a visual demonstration available. The video keeps the learner interested in the content, while the power point adds to the effectiveness of the video demonstration.

Delivery methodology
Apple has become know as a company that produces technological possibilities in a compact size. The iPod was the product that helped establish that reputation. With that said, if the device is considered small, one can imagine how small its components are. This was a contributing factor when deciding the delivery methodology for our instruction. Although our video embedded, PowerPoint presentation can be delivered to a group, the scale of the internal iPod parts is really too small for more than one person to work on at the same time. It’s possible to rotate the device from individual to individual, within a small group, allowing each person to perform a single step of the entire process. But, in doing so, the learner loses the perspective of the whole process. This would make it difficult for them to duplicate each sequential step of replacing a hard drive if they attempted to do it alone at a later time. Still, a small group presentation cannot be totally discounted, as the possibility exist for peer teaching if the learners are in the same location viewing our program.
A similar delivery method is a group presentation. Since our program is very hands on, it doesn’t have the familiar pitfalls. For example, the learner will not become a passive observer. Their attention should be maintained because they are completing a project along with the instructor. Unfortunately, one of the expected drawbacks still exists. Learning to replace a hard drive, in a group presentation, requires all learners to work at the same pace. Not everyone will be comfortable with that. Furthermore, the opportunity to ask questions will disrupt the rhythm of the instruction for those who are keeping up. This type of situation could be exacerbated by multiple questions from several participants.
As a part of our learner analysis, we have determined that the individuals, taking advantage of our instructional program, are going to have minimal familiarity with the content or terminology. This is an advantage of our program being delivered in a self paced format. They can work at their own level of comfort. If someone has already replaced an iPod hard drive, they aren’t likely to need our help with doing it again. However, our instructional program can still be used as a refresher. They can simply move past steps, they are already comfortable with, to get to specific steps they are less confident in performing. Many of the limitations, associated with the self paced format, don’t apply to our program, because it is a short, one time process. Also, the lack of motivation, typically experienced with to this methodology, is bypassed as well, because the learner has a vested interest in repairing their personal property.

Learning Objective
The objective is to demonstrate the process of replacing an iPod hard drive.
Content Presentation
Content:
The student will learn how to open the iPod casing, safely remove the existing hard drive, install a replacement, and close their iPod, all without damaging its internal parts.
Demonstration:
Students will be shown the tools and equipment needed to complete the project
Students will be given a demonstration of how to gently open the iPod casing
Students will be shown the inner components of the iPod
Students will be shown how to remove the protective bumper and foam from the hard drive
Students will be shown what replacement hard drive model to purchase, and suggested places to purchase it.
Students will be given a demonstration for disconnecting the old hard drive and connecting the new one
Students will be given a demonstration for placing the new hard drive snugly and securely into the iPod and closing the casing.
Materials and Media Selection:
iPod, replacement hard drive, a thin flathead screwdriver, a blade from a utility knife, a glue stick, a computer to view the presentation
Student Participation
Student Grouping:
Although the presentation can be delivered to a large group, students will work independently on this project.
Practice Items and Activities:
1. Students will watch the demonstration to guide them on how to open the iPod. 2. Students will watch the demonstration on how to disconnect the old hard drive from the ribbon cable, while not disconnecting the other side of the ribbon cable from the iPod. 3. Students will watch the demonstration on how to remove the blue bumper and protective foam padding from the old hard drive. 4. Students will watch the demonstration on learn their options for choosing a brand name and model number for the replacement hard drive to purchase. 5. Students will watch the demonstration on how to reattach the protective bumper and foam padding. 6. Students will watch the demonstration for attaching the new hard drive to the iPod. 7. Students will watch the demonstration on how to securely place the new hard drive into the body of the iPod. 8. Students will watch the demonstration on how to close the iPod casing. 9. Students will practice opening the iPod. 10. Students will practice the steps of removing and installing the hard drives. 11. Students will practice closing the iPod casing.
Feedback
Since the students will be viewing a video embedded PowerPoint presentation, there is no opportunity to give immediate feedback of their understanding of the material covered. However, the students will be provided with the contact information for emergingIDs, so they may address any questions or provide feedback on their instructional program. Due to the technical aspect of the instructional process, students will know if they successfully completed the project, because they will have a functioning iPod to load their data onto.
