Question 1: In the WGU D027 course on Educational Technology, which instructional-design model
is most frequently used as the foundational framework when teachers are asked to “systematically”
plan and integrate technology?
A) ADDIE model
B) SAM model
C) TPACK model
D) SMCR model
Correct Answer: A) ADDIE model
Explanation: ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) is the classic systematic,
linear ID process emphasized in D027 because it gives pre-service teachers an organized cycle for
aligning standards, selecting tech tools, and measuring impact.
Question 2: When a teacher completes the “Evaluate” phase of ADDIE after a tech-enhanced
lesson, which type of data best satisfies the WGU D027 call for “evidence-based reflection”?
,A) Number of times the SMART Board was touched
B) Pre/post assessment gains tied to learning objectives
C) Student enjoyment ratings on a 1–5 emoji scale
D) Length of time students remained on task
Correct Answer: B) Pre/post assessment gains tied to learning objectives
Explanation: D027 stresses measurable achievement data; pre/post gains directly link technology
use to mastery of the stated objective, satisfying the evidence-based reflection requirement.
Question 3: Which element of the TPACK framework represents the intersection where a teacher
decides to use a polling app to check real-time understanding of photosynthesis?
A) CK
B) PK
C) TCK
D) PCK
Correct Answer: C) TCK
Explanation: Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) is choosing a technology that specifically
transforms how content is represented or understood—exactly what the polling app does for
photosynthesis feedback.
,Question 4: According to the D027 rubric for the Instructional Software assignment, which
statement shows the highest level of “Technology Integration” justification?
A) “The software is free and runs on Chromebooks.”
B) “The software aligns with 3rd-grade math standards and provides adaptive practice.”
C) “Students like the software’s badges and leaderboards.”
D) “The software was used last year by my mentor teacher.”
Correct Answer: B) “The software aligns with 3rd-grade math standards and provides adaptive
practice.”
Explanation: The rubric looks for standards alignment and adaptive features that personalize
learning—demonstrating purposeful integration rather than convenience or novelty.
Question 5: Which UDL principle is primarily supported when a teacher provides closed captions
and a downloadable transcript for every video used in a flipped lesson?
A) Multiple means of engagement
B) Multiple means of representation
C) Multiple means of action/expression
D) Multiple means of assessment
Correct Answer: B) Multiple means of representation
, Explanation: Captions and transcripts give learners alternate perceptual formats to access content,
directly addressing UDL’s representation guideline.
Question 6: In the D027 “Interactive Whiteboard” task, which strategy best meets the
higher-order-thinking criterion?
A) Students drag and drop vocabulary terms to definitions
B) Students annotate a primary-source map to defend a historical claim
C) Students tap to reveal hidden bullet notes
D) Students watch an embedded video clip
Correct Answer: B) Students annotate a primary-source map to defend a historical claim
Explanation: Defending a claim requires analysis and argument—Bloom’s “analyze/evaluate”
levels—thereby satisfying the higher-order-thinking requirement.
Question 7: Which copyright license type should a D027 candidate prioritize when selecting images
for a public-facing teacher website?
A) Fair-use doctrine because the site is educational
B) Creative Commons BY-SA
C) All-rights-reserved license with verbal permission from the owner
D) Public-domain or CC0
Correct Answer: D) Public-domain or CC0
