1. What are the primary types of information used to analyze learners? How do you, or could you, use this information in the systematic planning process for learning and for media selection?
2. Smaldino et al. explain ten common types of instructional strategies. Which of these do you use most frequently and which less frequently? What instructional purpose (or goals) did you want to achieve? What advantages and limitations have you experienced when integrating each strategy?
3. Bates describes the SECTIONS model for choosing and using media (and the technology used to support the media) in education. Compare the SECTIONS model with Smaldino et al.’s “Select Resources” step and selection rubric criteria from the ASSURE model. What do you see as limitations and possibilities of each set of criteria from each model for media selection?
