 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN (ID) |
| Systematic process of designing learning activities and instructional materials using instructional theory and models to ensure the quality of the products. Instructional design theory and models are a set of specifications for the development, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of tasks and environments that can facilitate learning. By following instructional design, designers increase the likelihood that their course designs will be appropriate and effective. The most basic form of the instructional design model is a five-step process: [1] |
| Process step | Content |
|---|---|
| Analysis | Analyzing the need for instruction, curriculum requirements, the limitations and resources available |
| Design | Analyzing the instructional goals, learner’s needs, constructing assessments and their prior knowledge |
| Development | Determining instructional strategies and selecting instructional media that best facilitates student understanding of new knowledge and supports the instructional strategies |
| Implementation | Implementing the design: teaching/learning experience and student understanding |
| Evaluation | Examining the actual lesson or course you designed: evaluate the connection between goals and understanding, effectiveness of instructional strategies |
|
