SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
✔✔Which question would be appropriate in guiding a designer during the
implementation phase of the human-centered learning design process? - ✔✔How will I
measure the success of my solution?
✔✔A designer creates technical support documentation to ensure students are
comfortable using the software in the course. Which step of ADDIE is this designer on?
- ✔✔Develop
✔✔A designer discusses with the design team that only multiple-choice questions
should be used for a foundations course. Which step of ADDIE is the designer on? -
✔✔Design
✔✔A designer reviews feedback and data from learners who completed a course.
Which step of ADDIE is this designer on? - ✔✔Evaluate
✔✔What is a key difference between the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) and
the ADDIE approach? - ✔✔The SAM approach is a more iterative process than the
ADDIE approach.
✔✔What is a key difference between the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) and
the Understanding by Design (UbD) approach? - ✔✔SAM uses feedback and repetitive
prototype improvement to drive the process, whereas the UbD approach uses the
desired learning outcomes.
✔✔What is a key characteristic that distinguishes the Successive Approximation Model
(SAM) from both ADDIE and the Understanding of Design (UbD) approach? -
✔✔Constant iterative process
✔✔Which scenario demonstrates the identify desired results stage of Understanding by
Design? - ✔✔The designer establishes instructional goals to clarify what students
should understand and be able to do with what they learn.
✔✔A new teacher seeks advice from a more experienced educator about how to
achieve the desired results from instruction. The experienced educator recommends the
Understanding by Design (UbD) framework to the new teacher.
What will the UbD framework help this new teacher do? - ✔✔Teach and assess with a
goal in mind.

Design framework and is ready to implement the plan.
What is the primary role of this instructor during the implementation of this instructional
unit? - ✔✔Facilitate learner understanding.
✔✔A designer conducts a focus group with instructors who recently delivered a training
to better understand the issues they encountered. After hearing their responses, the
designer expresses appreciation to the instructors for their honesty and explains that
other instructors have also experienced the same challenges.
Which phase of the Design Thinking Process is this designer in? - ✔✔Empathize
✔✔A designer interviews an instructor who just finished teaching a course. The
instructor says that the course excited learners and that the provided resources assisted
students in learning the required information. The designer says, "That's wonderful!"
and asks questions to further understand the successes of the course.
Which phase of the Design Thinking Process is this designer in? - ✔✔Empathize
✔✔A team of designers knows that a recent training received poor feedback in the past.
After determining the underlaying issue, the team brainstorms ways to resolve the
issue.
Which phase of the Design Thinking Process is this team of designers in? - ✔✔Ideate
✔✔A designer uses the Design Thinking Process to identify a problem and define users'
needs.
Which phase of the ADDIE model does this step align with? - ✔✔Analyze
✔✔A designer conducts a focus group with potential learners and subject matter
experts to review an e-learning product and provide feedback.
Which step of ADDIE and stage of Design Thinking is this designer applying? - ✔✔The
evaluate step of ADDIE and the test stage of Design Thinking.
✔✔Which step in the ADDIE process is similar to the ideate stage of the Design
Thinking Process? - ✔✔Design
✔✔Which grammar activity aligns with the behaviorist approach? - ✔✔Learners edit
sample sentences and then correct them using an answer key.
