Instructional Design, Development & Evaluation (IDD&E) Portfolio

DLC 111 is a course unit within DLC 1. DLC I is an asynchronous, computer-based course hosted on the Army Learning Management System (ALMS). DLC I prepares soldiers to improve communication skills, message ideas and thoughts clearly, recognize the need for values and character, demonstrate competence in leading teams, and to generate initiative in developing life-long learners. In ideal settings, the DLC 111 course unit takes approximately 2 hours to complete based on the learner, however, the asynchronous nature of the course enables the user to repeat segments of the content as desired. A review of the course material reveals inconsistencies with learning outcomes based on subject matter, learner engagement, learning level and gaps in content. Additionally, the unit and course contain an element of design in the assessment strategy, allowing the learner to skip course material, proceeding directly to the assessment with multiple attempts. Learners may fail to engage learning material and only navigate the assessment through trial and error.
