KA Part I: Identification of Learner Problem
Audience
The audience consists of male and female high school 11th and 12 graders ranging in age of 16 to 18.
Problem Identification
National statistics show that American-Americans are drastically under-represented in the field of
Information Technology. For example, only an estimated 3 percent of top executives in the industry are
African-American." This is also the case for other minority groups like Hispanics and Native American.
Currently Clayton County Public Schools student population is made up of 70% African-American, 20%
Hispanic, 3% White and 6.8% self-identified as other. The Clayton County Public Schools has identified
this as a problem and through the CTAE department has created a dual-enrollment program with the
central focus of exposing high school students to the industry of Information Technology as a career
option. Information Technology as a career option should be explored by students who may need not be
interested in or have the funds to attend a four year university.
Instructional Goals
Students will design and build a computer network

Students will trouble shoot a basic network anomaly
Students will be able to take the Network+ Industry certification exam

KA Part II: Learner Analysis
Introduction:
A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or "data." It can store, retrieve, and
process data. This is a Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education course targeting 11th and 12th
graders and is designed to provide students with the ability to gain college credit towards an Associates
Degree in Information Technology. This is a dual enrollment program, in partnership with a local college.
The students range in age from 16 to 18. There are 18 males and 5 females. All students are AfricanAmerican. To gather the information about the students, a survey instrument that includes questions about
the level of computer literacy, basic reading and math.
Entry Skills and Prior Knowledge:
Reading, writing, and basic math

Verbal communication
Copying and saving files
Operating System navigation skills for Windows 7
Keyboarding
Website and search engine navigation
The students qualifications were obtained by administering a online pre-test to determine prior
knowledge, created with Google forms. The verbal communication skills were assess by conducting faceto-face interviews. Each student was scored on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most desirable score, for
their responses to interview questions. In order to be accepted into the class, the students must score at
least a 7 or above, on all questions. Only 2 out of the 23 students scored below a 7. Both students were
allowed to proceed on provisional conditions. The each was assigned make-up interviews with
corrective input from the instructor.
Attitudes towards Content & Academic Motivation:

All of the students understand that being college or career ready is important to their future success of
becoming productive citizens. They view Information Technology as a viable career choice, have an
aptitude in the area of technology, and their academic motivation is tied to entry level salaries for the
Information Technology industry.
Roderick Smith
Final KA
Educational Ability Levels:

All students are on track for graduating on time and have successfully completed EOCT for English and
Math.
General Learning Preferences:

The students expressed a strong preference for hands on activities. Group activities using actual
computers, switches and routers were also viewed as an additional preferred method for gaining a deeper
understanding of real world scenarios.
-Natural aptitude for technology
-Desire/passion to know more about technology
Attitude towards Teachers and School:
The instructor has over 17 years of real world computer and networking experience so the students have a
great deal of respect for him as an instructor. All students are enrolled as dual students at Clayton State
University and plan to continue in the Computer Networking program. The overall view of the school is
positive for the majority of the students, primarily because the program and equipment is new and the
career outlook for this field is promising.
Group Characteristics:
North Clayton High School has the smallest high school student body size in the Clayton County School
District. Racial makeup is: African American (89.4%), Asian (5.5%), Hispanic (2.8%). All students
receive free lunch as a result of the districts participation in the Community Eligibility Option for Free
Meal Reimbursement program.

This task analysis was conducted using a procedural approach because the domain of computer
networking is a very logical and defined. In an effort to ensure all relevant information and task were
captured, I also incorporated the use of a screen capture recording tool. Before the outline was committed
to paper, I watch and reviewed the video looking for potential gaps that might present issues for the
students. Using the screen capture tool also allowed me to speed up the task analysis process because
once the video was done; I could watch the playback from the learners prospective.

In this online module students will learn network fundamentals including: how to properly design or
modify a network through naming conventions, various stages of network design, terminology and
network devices. The module is divided into six lessons. Lesson one will focus on the seven layers of the
Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI) and basic concepts of computer networking. Lesson two will
focus on networking protocols and how they are used to communicate. In Lesson three will build on the
networking concepts communicating on a Local Area Network. Lesson four students will. Lesson four
will focus on the OSI model layer 1 the physical access layer of an Ethernet network. Lesson five will
focus on the OSI model layer 3 the network access layer of an Ethernet network Ethernet network. Lesson
six brings it all together by connecting, servers, routers, and switches in a simulated environment.

The Learning-Related Sequencing method was identified as the most effective approach for delivering the
content for this online module. This method places a premium on what the learner needs to know, what
they already know, and what will benefit them with regard to comfort and overall motivation. For
example, all of the students have used the Internet for school or home, whether it was to research a topic
for a paper or to download a .mp3 music file. This familiar knowledge provides a starting point for the
learner to move on to the more complex task of how computer networking works.
Lesson 1: Introduction to Networking
Objective 1: Integrate the definition of a computer network into their construct of communication.
Objective 1A: Differentiate when a host computer is acting as a client or server.
Objective: 1B: Clarify when a peer-to-peer network is an appropriate networking solution.
Objective 1C: Demonstrate the construction and verification of a simple P2P network.
Initial Presentation: Students will watch a video titled Computer Networks. This video introduces the
students to computer networks from a real world stand point. The narrator starts with a brief history of the

Final KA
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), one of the world's first operational packet
switching networks, the first network to implement TCP/IP, and the progenitor of what was to become the
global Internet. The narrator continues by explaining what life was like before the computer networks
were used in everyday business and how it all works, the Open Systems Interconnection model.
The UDL principle applied is to provide multiple means of representations by providing 3 alternate
formats, mp3 (audio), Mpeg 4 (video), and PDF (Print). Narrating the video and the text to allow students
to read watch and listen.
Generative Strategy: The student will create mnemonic device for the Open Systems Interconnection
model using Google Drawing or an audio recording, or speech to text. Features included with the online
module.
The UDL principle applied is to provide multiple means of action and expression. Students can choose
which assessment to complete.

Part VIII:
At the conclusion of the module, students will complete an online course evaluation survey. Because of
my role as both the Instructional Designer and SME, I will have a networking professional colleague to
complete the entire online module. The SME will be asking to provide professional feedback through a
series of questions provided via Google forms. Wes Watkins is the Director of Technical Operations for
Clayton County Schools. He has an associate degree Network Computing from Clayton State University.
Clayton State University is the partner for this dual enrollment program. Wes has 18 years working in the
Information Technology field and has designed large scale networks for several public school systems.
