Gagne's 9 laws of instructional design

In 2018 spring semester, we were given as assignment to make a video on any model under instructional design. So from many Instructional design model, i chose "Gagne's 9 events of instruction".

For this assignment I used videoleap and musemege for editing the video. And for the powerpoint presentation show, I used camtasia to screen record the slides. I learned a lot from the video editing apps and it was a fun way to learn the Gagne's 9 events of instructions as well.

Robert Gagné proposed a series of events which follow a systematic instructional design process that share the behaviorist approach to learning, with a focus on the outcomes or behaviors of instruction or training.

Gagne's Nine Levels of Learning model gives trainers and educators a checklist to use before they engage in teaching or training activities.

Each step highlights a form of communication that aids the learning process.

When each step is completed in turn, learners are much more likely to be engaged and to retain the information or skills that they're being taught.

Following are the Gagne's 9 events of instructions

        i.            Gaining attention

     ii.            Inform learner of objectives

   iii.            Prior learning

    iv.            Present content

       v.            Provide guidance

    vi.            Practice

  vii.            Provide feedback

viii.            Assess performance

    ix.            Enhance retention and transfer to the job

Gagne's Nine Levels of Learning provide a step-by-step checklist that helps you ensure that you present a comprehensive and successful learning experience. Each step is designed to help your trainees understand and retain information effectively.

Gagne's model can be combined effectively with other training methods, such as 4MAT and the ARCS model. These additional methods can help you better understand your class's needs.

As an activity, I designed a lesson plan focusing on Gagne’s Nine events of instruction.

Camtasia

Camtasia (formerly Camtasia Studio) is a software suite, created and published by TechSmith, for creating video tutorials and presentations directly via screencast, or via a direct recording plug-in to Microsoft PowerPoint. 

The screen area to be recorded can be chosen freely, and audio or other multimedia recordings may be recorded at the same time or added separately from any other source and integrated in the Camtasia component of the product.

The 3 most interesting things about Camtasia Studio are as follows:

1.      Recording screen - We can record anything like the whole screen. We can add video, images, audio, and even PowerPoint presentations that we already have.

2.      Make edits - A simple timeline makes editing video easy. We can combine or split clips, trim, and speed up or slow down the footage to make the video more interesting. Then, we can instantly preview inside the video editor.

3.      Add effects - We can also give videos polished and professional video editor effects. We can also add highlights, animation, titles, transitions and more. It is so easy to use it, we simply need to drag and drop the effects onto the timeline. 

At the end of the course, we all made a video using camtasia where we incorporated all the editing styles we learned in the class. The video I made is attached below

Another video attached below is a short video I created using Camtasia as teaching material in one of the micro teaching. Likewise we can not only make videos for fun, it will also help us in preparing a very effective video using text, voice narration and clip arts.
