 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 |

| Storyboarding Strategies for Effective e-Learning
(Video, 10 minutes) |
Storyboards are the blueprints for e-learning courses. They define all aspects of the training so you can reach a consensus on the design before investing in the development. In this short course, you will learn why it’s important to develop storyboards; the components of an effective storyboard; your roles and responsibilities as a storyboard developer; and some tips for writing storyboards. |
| Assessments in e-learning
(Slideshow) |
This slideshow presents some of the basic concepts related to the development of good learning objectives and to the importance of measuring learning. It also presents different types of assessment. |
| Accelerated Learning: The Extreme Training Makeover
(Video, 22 minutes) |
This video is an introduction to the concept of Accelerated Learning (AL), a system for speeding up and enhancing both the training design and the learning process. It touches upon fundamental concepts of instructional design, such as the importance of social interaction and the fact that a learning process is not sequential. |
| Instructional Design by Example | Website which offers examples of e-learning courses from multiple sources. It aims at providing inspiration along with details instructional designers need when planning, designing, developing, and delivering instructional content. |
| How to Teach Like a Pro! | This paper summarizes some of the best ideas and practices gathered from successful online instructors and recent literature. |
| Principles of Online Design | This document provides a resource to institutions who are designing online instructional materials. It aims at providing a set of principles for using technology as an instructional tool. |
| WBI Learning Design Process | This document contains the learning design process illustrated by the Word Bank Institute. Five main steps for learning design are identified, going from the definition of outcomes and objectives, to the identification of methods, the selection of tools, the assembling of the programme and finally the evaluation of the tool. For each of these fundamentals steps, additional information is provided. |
