Goal Statement
At the conclusion of this training the volunteers at Blazer Kitchen will be able to explain
to the shoppers at Blazer Kitchen nutritional information regarding the foods that are available
within the kitchen as well as how shoppers can put together a nutritious meal.
Deliverables that Achieve the Goal
Large Poster 1
Why is it important to eat vegetables? Eating vegetables provides health benefits –
people who eat more vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely
to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Vegetables provide nutrients vital for
health and maintenance of your body.
Nutrient Rich
Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. None have cholesterol. (Sauces
or seasonings may add fat, calories, and/or cholesterol.)
Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary
fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.
Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Vegetable
sources of potassium include sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato
products (paste, sauce, and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils,
and kidney beans.
Dietary fiber from vegetables, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood
cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods
such as vegetables help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories.
Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age
who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in
addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This
reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal
development.
Vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy and helps to protect against infections.
Vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds and keeps teeth and gums healthy. Vitamin C
aids in iron absorption.
Health Benefits
Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce
risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.
Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may
protect against certain types of cancers.
Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce
the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may
lower blood pressure and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and
help to decrease bone loss.
Eating foods such as vegetables that are lower in calories per cup instead of some
other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
Poster 2
Key nutrients found in whole grains:
Fiber: The bran provides most of the fiber in whole grains.
Vitamins: Whole grains are particularly high in B vitamins, including niacin, thiamin and
folate
Minerals: They also contain a good amount of minerals, such as zinc, iron, magnesium and
manganese.
Protein: Whole grains provide several grams of protein per serving.
Antioxidants: Several compounds in whole grains act as antioxidants. These include phytic
acid, lignin and sulfur compounds
Plant compounds: Whole grains deliver many types of plant compounds that play a role in
preventing disease. These include lignans, stanols and sterols
Key nutrients in one ounce (28 grams) of dry oats
Fiber: 3 grams
Manganese: 69% of the RDI
Phosphorous: 15% of the RDI
Thiamin: 14% of the RDI
Magnesium: 12% of the RDI
Copper: 9% of the RDI
Zinc and iron: 7% of the RDI

Nutritional Value of Protein
How is protein used by the body?
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
Proteins have many different jobs within the body. As previously mentioned, the body uses
proteins for energy. Protein is also used as an enzyme, which starts reactions within the body,
including metabolism, and gene growth & repair. Proteins are also used by the body to carry
signals from one part of the body to another and to form structures, including muscles.
How much protein do I need in my diet?
Protein should account for 10-35% of your daily caloric intake. Many nutrition experts also
recommend an intake of 1 gram of protein per 1 kilogram of body weight (0.4 g per pound).
Consuming too much protein may be harmful to the body. High amounts of protein in the diet
put stress on the kidneys and liver as they try to dismantle and dispose of the extra protein.
Sources of protein: Meat products (hamburger, fish, chicken), dairy products (cheese, milk,
yogurt, cottage cheese), eggs, tofu, lentils, and soymilk.
Eating complete protein (containing all amino acids) will help ensure that you do not become
deficient in essential amino acids. Complete proteins include meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and
soy (a non-animal source). Nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables are typically incomplete. For this
reason, it is important for vegetarians to pair non-animal products wisely in order to consume all
essential amino acids in their daily diet.
Nutrients and Health Benefits of Dairy
Consuming dairy products provides health benefits – especially improved bone health.
Foods in the Dairy Group provide nutrients that are vital for health and maintenance
of your body. These nutrients include calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and protein.
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
Nutrients
Calcium is used for building bones and teeth and in maintaining bone mass. Dairy
products are the primary source of calcium in American diets. Diets that provide 3
cups or the equivalent of dairy products per day can improve bone mass.
Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Dairy products,
especially yogurt, fluid milk, and soymilk (soy beverage), provide potassium.
Vitamin D functions in the body to maintain proper levels of calcium and
phosphorous, thereby helping to build and maintain bones. Milk and soymilk (soy
beverage) that are fortified with vitamin D are good sources of this nutrient. Other
sources include vitamin D-fortified yogurt and vitamin D-fortified ready-to-eat
breakfast cereals.
Milk products that are consumed in their low-fat or fat-free forms provide little or no
solid fat.
Health benefits
Intake of dairy products is linked to improved bone health and may reduce the risk of
osteoporosis.
The intake of dairy products is especially important to bone health during childhood
and adolescence, when bone mass is being built.
Intake of dairy products is also associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular
disease and type 2 diabetes, and with lower blood pressure in adults.
Why is it important to make fat-free or low-fat choices from the Dairy Group?
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
Choosing foods from the Dairy Group that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol
can have health implications. Diets high in saturated fats raise "bad" cholesterol levels
in the blood. The "bad" cholesterol is called LDL (low-density lipoprotein)
cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol, in turn, increases the risk for coronary heart
disease. Many cheeses, whole milk, and products made from them are high in
saturated fat. To help keep blood cholesterol levels healthy, limit the amount of these
foods you eat. In addition, a high intake of fats makes it difficult to avoid consuming
more calories than are needed.
Nutritional benefits of Fats and Sugars
Fats and carbohydrates should provide the bulk of your diet, calorie-wise, states the
University of Illinois McKinley Health Center. Fats should account for at least 20 percent
of your daily calories, but no more than 35 percent. Aim for the majority of your fat
calories to come from plant sources and avoid trans fats found in processed baked goods
and fried foods.
Of the 45 to 65 percent of calories that should come from carbohydrates, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention encourages you to eat half from whole grains and to consume simple
sugars through natural, whole-foods.

Copy of the Thank You Note
Hi Ms. Ransom,
On behalf of my team, I want to thank you for helping us design effective instruction for
Blazer Kitchen. We have high regards for your position as Blazer Kitchen Coordinator through
AmeriCorps, for your exemplary dedication and diligent service to this organization. We
appreciate your support as we partnered with Blazer Kitchen to design instruction for volunteers
and shoppers so that they could accomplish Blazer Kitchen mission to increase food security in
the UAB community by providing healthy food, resources, and referrals to UAB employees,
students, patients and their families through effective instruction, learning and training.
Our team mission was to focus on the knowledge gap “To update existing volunteer
training and/or develop materials to aid consumers in shopping by closing a knowledge gap in
choosing foods based on nutritional value”. As we designed and developed instruction
systematically, you have kindly assisted us in all phases including analysis phase in which we
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
elucidated the performance goals to close the knowledge gap, who the learners were and where
the learning would be taking place. We were also helped in the design and development phase as
we created the instruction based on learners needs to close the knowledge gap. We appreciate
your strong support through the entire process including your feedback and suggestions.
We will appreciate it if you would kindly reflect on the deliverables including job aids, posters,
and instructional information for volunteer learners to be embedded on website, and meal plans
included in the attachment. Some of the suggestions for reflection are if the instructional design
was congruent to volunteers’ needs and what you as Subject Matter Expert (SME) had hoped for.
The questionnaire that I shared with you as a part of our report could be used as a baseline for
reflection. Since we would like to learn from this experience, we are hopeful that the reflection
will include clarity, feasibility and impact of instructional design as well.
As you leave Blazer Kitchen today to start a new chapter, I wish you the very best. I am
grateful to have taken a small part in the service project and hope to serve well through my role
in the Instructional Design field.
With best regards,
Mona
Client Reflections of the Deliverable
This mission of Blazer Kitchen is to provide UAB students, employees, and select patient
clinics with access to healthy food such as fresh produce, frozen meats, bread, and shelf stable
nonperishable fruit, vegetables, soup, protein, pasta, and rice. Blazer Kitchen opened in UAB
Medical Towers in March 2017. Today, we provide a client choice food pantry to UAB students
in both Medical Towers and the Hill Student Center. UAB employees access the Medical Towers
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
site and select patient groups are served by the food pantry in their clinics. Blazer Kitchen has
served 1,163 UAB students and employees providing over 165,000 meals.
In 2018, the Blazer Kitchen Advisory Board created an ad hoc committee to develop a
shopper education program that would enable our staff and volunteers to provide our clients with
cooking and nutritional information. We realized that providing access to healthy food was only
one solution to ending food insecurity. In order to make a significant impact with our students
and employees, we needed to provide information regarding meal preparation, designing healthy
plates, reading food labels, and develop recipes utilizing the food offered in Blazer Kitchen.
The committee decided to incorporate an active and passive education format. It was
decided that Blazer Kitchen would offer nutritional materials, additional recipes, nutritional
nudges, food demonstrations and surveys. The committee also decided to provide cook books,
access to cooking classes, and food preparation equipment. Additionally, Blazer Kitchen would
offer training sessions to educate shoppers how to read labels, develop meal plans, and to better
understand their personal dietary restrictions.
The Instructional Design students provided us with training material, job aides and
videos, as well as pre and posttest materials, that will enable us to meet the goals and objectives
of the shopper education ad hoc committee. The job aids have been posted in Blazer Kitchen.
The training material and videos will be uploaded to the Blazer Kitchen website. The Food
demonstrations began in fall 2018. Over the next few weeks, the material developed by this class
be used by volunteers to offer additional information to shoppers during the food demos.
Volunteers will also use this training information to design a healthy meal using products found
in Blazer Kitchen. The meals will be displayed each week in the waiting room.
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
The materials provided by this class more than met our expectations. This material will
enable us to provide a more well-rounded service to our shoppers beyond just offering access to
food. We thank you for partnering with Blazer Kitchen this semester. We look forward to
partnering with you in the future.
Revisions and Reflections of the Deliverable
Throughout this Instructional Design process, we have made many revisions and been
able to react to the client’s needs and wants as this project has developed. We are very proud of
the efforts that we put forth and the of the deliverables that we ended up with including the pre
and posttests, instruction, and job aids. We were able to utilize all of our unique talents
throughout the development of these different forms of instruction. The main revision that we
had to make was changing the format of our instruction last week. Within the one-on-one
evaluation it was revealed that there might not be sufficient time and resources to allow the
training to be conducted fully by an instructor, so we made the suggestion to upload the training
onto the Blazer Kitchen website as well as the job aids, pre and posttest, and videos. This way,
the learners will always have easy access to the training materials. This revision is in the process
of completion as we have given all of the materials to the client, but the website is under
construction and we are waiting for it to be up and running so that the training can be full
available to the learners. We believe that we have incorporated multiple forms of instruction
within these deliverables. We have instruction in the form of written directions, quizzes and
assessments, videos, and charts. By incorporating many kinds of instruction and by giving the
learners job aids that will be within the Kitchen at all times, we believe that the learners will be
able to learn most efficiently. At this point the client has been completely satisfied with the
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
deliverables that we have provided and based on her feedback we will not be making any more
revisions at this time.
Reflections of the Systematic Process
Why Use Systematic Approach in instructional Design ?
It has an interlocking connection between instructional strategy and learning
outcome. Instructional strategies were planned with learning outcomes which
could relate to the mission, vision and close the knowledge gap at Blazer Kitchen
It is a powerful tool to plan successful standard based learning with tight
alignment with learning outcomes, student characteristics, instructional activities
and assessments. Performance objectives for Blazer kitchen were in tight
alignment with learning outcomes based on analysis of learners, learning
environment and performance support.
It is empirical and replicable. It can be evaluated and revised. For example, blazer
kitchen instructional design performance and context analysis had to be revised
based on lack of space of space and time available.
Components of Systematic Process
Identify instructional goals
Conduct instructional analysis
Analyze Learners and Contexts
Write performance objectives
Develop Assessment Instruments

Design and Conduct Formative and Summative evaluation of Instruction
Instructional Design through a systems approach is an iterative process and yields
effective learning products and learning outcomes. It is an effective method to design theoretical,
active learning instruction. To design instruction In Blazer Kitchen service-learning setting,
careful attention had to be paid to what must be learned and what learners must already know in
order to begin instructional design process. The systematic design of instruction had to be
focused on skills to be learned and presented under best conditions for learning.
In Blazer Kitchen setting the knowledge gap required updating existing volunteer training and
developing materials to aid consumers in shopping by closing the knowledge gap. This was to be
done by helping shoppers choose food based on nutritional value. This was the instructional goal
that needed to be in forefront through instructional design process. To achieve this goal and to
understand learners and site, team members visited Blazer Kitchen and attended volunteer
training. Analyzing learning domains and instructional goals helped to target intellectual skills
and attitudinal skills.
The instructional analysis included goal, performance, entry skills, subskill, learners,
performance and context analysis. All this information was compiled in Instructional Design
Report 1. Due to lack of effective teamwork, clarity of thought and purpose, the results in ID
report did not yield good results. After a Zoom meeting and discussions, the subskill, entry skill,
and performance and learner’s context analysis with implications for learning was revised. This
bought clarity and a cohesive goal to work hard to do better at applying systematic design of
instruction to close the blazer kitchen knowledge gap. The revised performance goal was “At the
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
conclusion of this training the volunteers at Blazer Kitchen will be able to explain to the
shoppers at Blazer Kitchen nutritional information regarding the foods that are available within
the kitchen as well as how shoppers can put together a nutritious meal”.
The Design Phase included the devising of main step in instructional goal and
performance objectives that reflected skills identified in instructional analysis (B), conditions in
which the skills will be learned (CN), and criteria for successful performance (CR) for each step.
Performance objectives were also devised for subordinate skill objectives. Sample assessments
for each objective were included. The instructional strategy was then designed using instructional
sequence that included pre -instructional activities, content presentation and learner guidance,
learner participation and assessment. The revision and carefully designed theoretical instructional
sequence were a part of report 2. Constructivist and cognitive theory-based instruction were
epitomized. Pre-instructional activities and other activities will be uploaded in blazer kitchen
website. Effective teamwork yielded a good reward in report 2.
The Development Phase included devising theory based Instructional strategy that
included pre-instructional activities, presenting content with examples, practice and feedback and
follow through activities and relate the newly learned skills to real world applications. Six
sessions of instruction were devised all of which should be included as deliverables on Blazer
Kitchen website. Practice/examples were also selected as deliverables. Job aids and posters were
developed from the designed content. Videos in instructional sessions are also projected to be
uploaded on website.
This was followed by implementation and evaluation phase. Instructional design was
evaluated by coordinator and learners. For the learners to be evaluated fairly, with instruments
IDD 610 Mathews, Davenport, & GurayaRunning Head: Report 4
that measures skills and knowledge described in objectives, pretest and posttest were
implemented and evaluated by coordinators and learners. A One-on-One evaluation included a
questionnaire that was answered as the coordinator and learners were briefed on report 2. A
pretest was also given to learners; the result was used to revise instruction so that it is more
effective. Small group testing was conducted, and data was analyzed. This helped to design
instruction that matched the needs and skills of learners and resulted in creation of effective
instruction as exemplified in deliverables and comments like “fantastic” and “more than she
hoped for” by the coordinator. We have received an excellent reflection from the coordinator as a
result of effective teamwork and hard work. We have respect for this process and should use it in
the future in whatever setting we serve. Service-learning setting was an excellent place to
practice learning of systematic design of instruction. We want to thank Dr. Hodges for well
thought of instructional strategy and sequence.
The ADDIE process of analysis, design, development, implement and evaluation tied in
with components of systematic design are entwined, and the deliverables and comments reflect
that this process should yield effective learning materials Following this approach in
instructional design should result in positive learning outcomes and closing knowledge gap. In
the ID field with a myriad of design processes, ADDIE through systematic design of instruction
is foolproof and should meet learners’ needs and induce effective learning.
