Instructional design: Selecting Pre-Existing Materials

Pre-existing materials

To determine if pre-existing materials will work for your needs, you must look at your learning objectives. With these objectives in mind, evaluate the materials based upon these factors:

adequate motivation
appropriate content
correct sequencing
all required information is present
contains practice exercises
feedback mechanism included
tests are available
directions are included
learner guidance when moving from sequence to the next

If the materials lack one or more items, adapt to meet those needs if possible.
