Needs Assessment

Phase I, Planning
During the planning phase of the needs assessment, it was determined that there should be
two groups of target audiences for data collection. The first group should include local
organizational leaders (School Administrators, Training Departments of local businesses,
etc.), which will provide data to determine if a need for instruction exists. The second
group should include potential participants for the instruction, to determine the content
and focus of the instructional design.

Phase II, Collecting Data
To collect the necessary data to determine the instructional needs, we developed two
survey instruments, one for each target audience (See Appendices A1 & A2). We decided to
distribute the surveys via internet, using the Google Forms tool, to each of our target
audiences, in order to achieve a large quantity of data from the widest available
distribution of survey participants.

Phase III, Data Analysis
The surveys are designed to organize the collected data, and we will use that information to
inform the remainder of the instructional design process.


10 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

Task Analysis
I. Introduce Google Drive- (Participants will have received information on how to set up
a Google Drive account prior to the workshop and will be expected to use that account.
(See Appendix B1.)

A. Discuss similarities of Google Drive and Microsoft Suite. Google Docs is relative to
Microsoft Word, Google Presentation is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, and Google
Spreadsheet works like Microsoft Excel. Many features such as Bold, Italics, and
Underline, as well as Tool Bar labels work much the same way.
B. The difference between the two products is that Google Drive is a free online tool
which utilizes the internet and does not require downloading. Files and documents
can be shared with others, and you can change settings to allow them to edit or
provide comments to your documents. No saving is required, and more than one
person can work on the same document at the same time, which makes it an
excellent tool for collaboration.
C. Introduce materials which explain the concept of using Google Drive in different
ways depending on specific needs. Presentation includes information on various
ways of using Google Drive for collaboration using the presentation and
supplemental materials (See Appendix B2).
D. Discuss toolbar and functionality- When you first enter your Google Drive
account, there is a menu down the left side. We will navigate through these buttons.
(See Appendix A3 for full procedural analysis beyond this level.)
E. Create folders- To help you organize your files, create folders with specific labels
in which you can house your documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc.
F. Uploading documents-The upload feature of Google Drive allows you to upload
documents that you have already created, such as a Microsoft Word Document. You
can click on Upload to upload files and folders from Microsoft Office to Google
Drive.

II. Evidence of Acceptable Results
Formative Evaluation

The formative evaluation process will involve two approaches. In order to gather feedback
about our instructional design, we plan to interview a Google Drive Expert. The expert will
be asked to provide feedback regarding the alignment of objectives with instructional
activities in order to make any necessary changes prior to the start of the workshop. In
addition to this, participants will be asked to fill out a Google Forms survey just after
participating in the workshop to provide information regarding the course content as well
as the course environment. A similar follow-up survey will be sent to participants three
months following the workshop, to evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction.

Key Questions for Data Collection

1. Is the content of the course designed at an appropriate level for the learners?
2. Is the content relevant to the learners?
3. Is the sequence of the course activities logical and effective?
4. Is the time allotted sufficient for completing the objectives?
5. Do the learning activities match the course objectives and goals?
6. What improvements can be made to the course content?
7. Were the facility and the learning environment as a whole conducive for learning
the objectives?

Approach 1: Interview with a Google Drive Expert (See Appendix A4)

Because we have learned about Google Drive in a train the trainer type model, having an
expert view our design plan and provide feedback is a valuable way to gain insight into any
tools Google Drive offers that can assist professionals in collaboration. We will provide the
expert with our design plan and materials, and after they have had sufficient time to view
and organize their thoughts about them, an interview will be conducted to gather this
information. Improvements will be made to our design plan prior to conducting the
training.

Approach 2: Google Forms Exit Survey of Participants (See Appendix B3)
Google Forms Follow-Up Survey (See Appendix B4)

It is important to gather feedback from participants to make sure the training is as effective
as possible. At the end of each day of training, participants will be asked to complete a
survey provided through Google Forms about their experiences during the Google Tools
12 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

training. Participants will be asked to provide feedback about how well the activities and
objectives were aligned as well as questions related to the learning environment of the
course. The data will be collected and analyzed to make improvements to the following
training sessions as needed.

Summative Evaluation

The summative evaluation process will involve two approaches, one of which includes the
assessment of learning. Most of the summative evaluation process will be concerned with
evaluating whether participants have met learning goals and objectives. The second
approach will provide feedback on the effectiveness of the instructional workshop.

Key Questions for Data Collection

1. Did participants meet any or all of the learning goals and objectives?
2. How well were learning objectives mastered?
3. Did participants feel that the amount of time spent in the workshop was sufficient
to master the learning goals?
4. Did participants find the material in the workshop useful?
5. Are participants more likely to feel comfortable collaborating with Google Drive?

Approach 1:

To determine whether participants have met or mastered the learning goals, participants
will complete instructional tasks that will provide immediate feedback and a small project
that will be evaluated based on a scoring rubric. (See Appendix B5) If the learning
objectives have been effectively mastered, participants will be issued a certificate verifying
their mastery of learning to use Google Drive for Collaboration. To a large extent, the
learning outcomes reflected in the learning activities will reflect the effectiveness of the
training.

Approach 2:

To determine participant reactions to the program, the key questions addressed in the
summative evaluation process will be reflected as part of the exit survey designed for the
formative assessment of the instruction. (Refer to Appendix B3) This will provide
information about participant attitudes and reactions regarding the content of the
instruction and the instructional activities.

13 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

III. Learning Experiences and/or Instruction

The learning experiences for this instruction are designed using a group presentation
approach. A one-day instructional workshop will be planned to teach professionals wanting
to learn how to use collaboration tools in their work setting. The format of the instruction
will be face-to-face, include lecture, presentation, demonstration, and one-on-one
instruction as students perform instructional tasks. Instruction will also be followed by a
small-group project to promote experience in group collaboration using the tools taught
during the workshop.

Types of Learning Experiences and/or Instruction

The Google Drive: Tools for Collaboration instructional workshop is designed to help
professionals learn collaborative tools that Google Drive provides with an emphasis on
Google Docs. The instructional workshop will take place on a Saturday outside of usual
work hours at a local computer lab. Each learner will have access to their own computer
during the workshop. The workshop will begin by briefly introducing Google Drive and its
features followed by a presentation and demonstration format on each collaborative tool in
Google Docs. Participants will then demonstrate the application of the concept, interact
with the instructor and each other after each tool is introduced. The workshop will end
with an overview of Google Drive and a brainstorming session of how collaboration can be
used in participants various professional fields. Take home materials will be provided that
will give participants additional help and information for Google Drive. (Refer to Appendix
B2, Final Slide)

Overview of instructional strategies:
Students will receive a demonstration modeling step-by-step the tasks they must
learn to perform in order to navigate through Google Drive.
Students will follow along with the demonstration, performing the tasks themselves
and receiving immediate feedback on the success of their performance.
Students will explore using the functions of Google Drive, by performing basic tasks
provided by the instructor in order to improve their navigation skills and address
any problems or questions.
Students will complete a group project, to be completed by the end of one week
following the Google Drive workshop, which will demonstrate their ability to
collaborate on a product using Google Drive. (Refer to Appendix B5)

Implementation Plan, including Schedule and Logistics
The Google Drive workshop will be held on a Saturday, date TBA, from 9am to 3pm with a
one hour lunch break from 12 to 1pm. The workshop will be held at a local computer lab,
also TBA, once the available facility is determined. There will be a maximum limit of
participants based on the number of computer stations available.

The workshop participants will be learning to use the functions of Google Drive that
facilitate collaboration. Google Drive is a free online product that only requires registration
for an account. After collecting data on the interest level for the workshop being held for
professionals in various local organizations, interested organizations will be provided with
a web link to share with interested participants to sign up for the workshop using Google
Forms. (See Appendix B10) Once participants have registered for the workshop they will
be emailed instructions explaining how to register for a Google Drive account if they dont
already have one. Participants are expected to have registered for their account before
attending the workshop.

Prior to the workshop, developers will assess and prepare the equipment needed for the
presentation. These tasks will include, but are not limited to; connecting a projector,
internet access issues and assisting with participant computer issues. The workshop will
begin with a comparison of Google Drive and Microsoft Suite using a Google Drive
presentation. Once participants are logged in to their Google accounts the instructor will
22 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

demonstrate the menu on the left then followed by an explanation of the My Drive folder
which houses folders and documents that are created by or shared with the account holder.
Next participants will investigate the options available under the Create button. The
instructor will then demonstrate how to create folders to organize documents,
presentations, spreadsheets, etc.

The next part of the workshop will focus on Google Docs starting with word processing
basics them moving on to titling a document. Next the instructor will present an overview
of the menu bar and discuss saving. The instructor will demonstrate options available
under the file and tools selections focusing on viewing revision history and options for
research. Next participants will learn how to insert media into a Google Doc.
Now that participants are familiar with creating and manipulating a Google Doc the
instructor will focus on the collaborative features the Google Drive offers. These tasks will
include sharing a file, using on screen chat, commenting, emailing collaborators
automatically and revision history.

The third part of the workshop will focus on the other tools that Google Drive offers. The
Google Drive Presentation will be used for a variety of purposes. One purpose is to have
participants apply the collaboration features. Another purpose for the Google Drive
Presentation is to introduce participants to Google Presentation, Spreadsheet, Form and
Drawing. Lastly the Google Drive Presentation will be used to foster ideas for Google Drive
use within the participants work environment.

Participants will be spending the final module of the workshop forming groups to complete
a collaborative assignment using a Google Tool that will be submitted via the instructors
Google Drive workshop assignment folder. Upon completion of an exit survey participants
will be issued a workshop completion certificate which will serve as proof of attendance
and completion for employers.
See Appendix B11 for a workshop schedule.

Appendix A3: Task Analysis: Detailed Procedural Analysis

I. Introduce Google Drive- (Participants will have received information on how to set up
a Google Drive account prior to the workshop and will be expected to use that account.
See Appendix.)
A. Discuss similarities of Google Drive and Microsoft Suite. Google Docs is relative to
Microsoft Word, Google Presentation is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, and Google
Spreadsheet works like Microsoft Excel. Many features such as Bold, Italics, and
Underline, as well as Tool Bar labels work much the same way.
B. The difference between the two products is that Google Drive is a free online tool
which utilizes the internet and does not require downloading. Files and documents
can be shared with others, and you can change settings to allow them to edit or
provide comments to your documents. No saving is required, and more than one
person can work on the same document at the same time, which makes it an
excellent tool for collaboration.
C. Present information on various ways of using Google Drive for collaboration using
the presentation and supplemental materials (See Appendix).
D. Discuss toolbar and functionality- When you first enter your Google Drive
account, there is a menu down the left side. We will navigate through these buttons.
(See Appendix A for full procedural analysis beyond this level.)
1. Click on My Drive- The first page you will see when you log in to Google
Drive is the My Drive page. A small arrow to the left of those words will
indicate that this is where you are in your account. My Drive is where any
folders or documents you create will appear.
2. Click on Shared with Me- When you learn to share documents and
collaborate with others, this is the section you will use to see folders or
documents other people have created and shared with you.
3. Click on Create in the red box above My Drive- You will see several options
of file types you can create.
E. Create folders- To help you organize your files, create folders with specific labels
in which you can house your documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc.
1. Click on Create and select Folder from the drop down menu.
2. Type a title for your folder in the white box and click Create.
3. Click on folder you just created and notice how there are no documents
inside yet.
F. Uploading documents-The upload feature of Google Drive allows you to upload
documents that you have already created, such as a Microsoft Word Document. You
can click on upload to upload files and folders from Microsoft Office to Google Drive.

28 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

II. Google Docs
A. Word Processing Basics- The tool bar is very similar to that of Microsoft Word. As
are the shortcuts for bold, italics, and underline.
1. Explain, demonstrate, (using a projector, smartboard, or video tutorial)
and ask students to follow along to log into Google Drive, open the folder that
has been shared with them, and open the document Introductions.
2. Explain, demonstrate, (using a projector, smartboard, or video tutorial)
and ask students to follow along and entering their individual information
into the table on the document Introductions.
3. Explain, demonstrate, (using a projector, smartboard, or video tutorial)
and ask students to follow along and entering their individual information
into the table on the document Introductions.
4. Lead a discussion on various professional uses for Google Drive, based on
the student entries in the Introduction document.
7. Creating a Document
(Explain, demonstrate, (using a projector, smartboard, or video tutorial) and
ask students to follow along with the following steps of instruction.)
a. Click on Create and select document from the drop down menu.
8. Titling the document-
a. Click on Untitled Document at the top of the page.
b. Change the title to What is Your Professional Position?
9. Menu Bar Overview- The menu bar has many of the same options as MS
Word. However, there are a few very different features.
a. Saving: In Docs, you do not have a save option. Every change you
make (space, letter, word etc.) will automatically save.
b. File: you have the option of Viewing Revision History. This will
allow you to view all changes by all users and even revert back to a
certain time. If your document is shared with others, you can email all
collaborators. You can also download the doc as a Word doc if it is
ever necessary.
c. Tools: In tools there is an option for Research. This choice will pull
up a sidebar where you can search Google for your topic or link and
insert the link automatically AND a citation without switching
windows.
B. Inserting different forms of media
1. Saved Image- Go to Insert> Images>Upload- Search for your image
2. ScreenShot- Go to Insert>Images> Take a SnapShot.
3. Image from Website: Go to Insert>Images> URL- Type in the URL where
the picture is located.
29 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

4. Add the file to the Shared folder: Go to File>Move to Folder- Select the
Shared folder.
C. Collaborating
1. Commenting: To make a comment, you can either click somewhere in the
document or highlight a certain word, phrase, paragraph, etc. (depending on
what you want to comment on) and click Comments next to the Share
button. A window will appear. Click comment again. A small window next
to the document will appear and you can type your comment there. All users
will be able to see this comment when they log in. To reply to a comment,
click Reply at the bottom of the comment and write your comment in the text
box.
2. Open the Introduction Document in a new tab from Google Drive.
Explain, demonstrate, (using a projector, smartboard, or video tutorial) and
ask students to follow along in using the Comments feature of Google Drive.
3. Instruct students to use the comments feature to reply to one another in
order to form groups amongst themselves wherein participants of similar
professional fields are grouped together. Explain that these groups will form
the basis for the collaboration for the main project of the workshop.
4. Sharing a File: Return to the tab with their What is Your Professional
Position documents. In the top right corner, there is a blue button that says
Share. Click this and insert the e-mail addresses of all the users you want to
be able to access this document. You have 3 choices for the type of access
each user can have: Can View Only, Can Comment, Can Edit. If you are
collaborating, Can Edit would be the option to choose. If you are looking just
for feedback, Can Comment would be ideal and Can View would work if you
just want someone to be able to read it. Share your document with your new
group members.
5. Screen Chat: When others are logged in to the document, you will see a
colored box with their first initial in the top right near the Share button.
Click on a user and a chat box will appear. You can then hold a chat session
on the same screen as the document while you both work.
6. E-mail Collaborators Automatically: To email everyone who is working on
the document at once, click File>Email Collaborators. A box will appear
where you can select the users on the document and a message to send.
7. Revision History: If you need to see what was changed, who changed it,
when it was changed or just simply go back to a certain revision, you can. Go
to File>Revision History. You can click each Revision where your document
will give a preview of what it looked like at each of those revisions and who
was involved with them. You can then select one and click the link that comes
up below the user that says Restore to this Revision.

Appendix B7: Table of Instructional Strategies
Goal 1. Learners will be able to create an account for Google Drive to have access
to Google Docs and other collaboration tools.
Motivation To provide basic steps for participants so they can set up a Google Drive
Account.
Initial Presentation Participants will be sent a set of directions before the workshop to set up
their Google Drive account.
Generative Strategy Participants will set up their account and submit Gmail addresses to the
instructor. The participants can look at Google Drive and familiarize
themselves with the lay out before the workshop begins.
Goal 2. Learners will be able to effectively navigate the documents tool of Google
Drive, specifically in ways that enhance collaboration, such as creating and
sharing files and documents.
Motivation Ask the learners how important it is to be able to collaborate on projects at
work? Would they like to learn some new ways that will make their work
more productive, time efficient and get the best results?
Initial Presentation The instructor will start by comparing Google Drive to Microsoft Office
Suite. The instructor will identify benefits of using Google Drive to improve
time management and collaboration. The instructor will then demonstrate
and describe the steps in how to create and share documents and folders.
Generative Strategy The learners will practice the steps that the instructor demonstrates. They
will be given a task to complete so that when finished they will be able to
create and share basic documents with class members.
Goal 3. Learners will be able to communicate with others using features of Google
Drive.
Motivation What would it be like if you could be at the location of your choice and work
on a program/product with other people at the same time using your
computer? Better yet, what would it feel like if everyone could make
suggestions, changes or comments to a document at the same time during a
meeting where everyone was at a different physical location? Explain that
without a lot of effort this is possible using the chat and comment features in
Google Docs.
Initial Presentation The instructor will identify the collaboration features in Google Docs. The
instructor will then demonstrate chat ,comments , email and revision
history features and how they can be used in a collaborative setting.
45 | P a g e R e t u r n t o T o p

Generative Strategy The learners will practice the steps that the instructor demonstrates. They
will be given several tasks to complete as a group to be able to practice
using collaborative features.
Goal 4. Learners will be able to navigate to and identify the purpose for each tool
in Google Drive.
Motivation What would it be like if you could share a presentation or spreadsheet?
What if you could build a research survey with other people or create a
drawing with other people all in different locations at the same time?
Explain that this is possible using the tools that Google Drive has to offer.
Initial Presentation The instructor will introduce Google Presentations, Google Forms, Google
Spreadsheets and Google Drawings. The instructor will demonstrate each
feature while explaining collaboration strategies.
Generative Strategy The learners will practice the steps for each feature and complete a task for
each feature so that they are able to create and collaboratively use each
feature described. The participants will be given a group assignment to
