Abstract

With the pressure on educational institutions to become more effective and more relevant to the demands of society, there is a need to present content in an organized and concise manner using such techniques as task analysis, behavioural objectives and the gamut of available technology in an attempt to maximize student learning. The purpose of this project has been to develop an instructional unit on the Norse People and their settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. -- The instructional unit consists of: -- 1. A slide tape on the Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows; -- 2. Overhead transparencies dealing with explorations leading to the establishment of a settlement, and with the physical features of the settlement; -- 3. A teacher handbook containing a set of instructions to be followed in the application of the instructional unit along with lists of objectives to be given to the students, and a test designed to meet the needs of this project; -- 4. A student handbook containing information on the early explorations of the Norse People. -- Following the development of the instructional unit it was tested and found acceptable.
