Term2.png 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)
