Course Description
Instructional
design (also commonly referred to as ID or ISD) is a core component of
our field, and a foundational skill that all educational technologists
should have in their repertoire. Born from the military’s need to
rapidly train large numbers of people on complex procedures during
World War II, instructional design has been used for the past 60 years
to train people in corporate, education, government, and a host of
other settings.
Through the careful planning of instructional events, content, and media, ISD is a powerful tool for effectively and efficiently making people proficient in the skills and knowledge that your organization requires. Informed by models and theories, instructional designers apply their skills and knowledge to bring about predictable results.
