Instructional Design Training



Instructional design is a process that determines the current state and needs of the learner. Based on this it defines the end goal of instruction, and create intervention to assist in the transition.

Instructional design helps to maximize the effectiveness, efficiency and other learning experiences. The process is informed through instructions and adult learning tested theories. This can take place only in student-teacher led or community based settings. The outcome of this instruction may be directly observable and scientifically measured. Most of instructional design models are based on the ADDIE model with the phases – analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.

Instructional design is the systematic development of instruction after analyzing the learning needs. Instructional designers often use instructional technology (communication technology) as a method for developing instruction. In other words Instructional Design is the practice of arranging media and content for effective transfer of knowledge.

Effective instructional design, if followed, will allow the creator to produce a “product” (i.e., course, website, seminar, tutorial, workshop, or training manual) that will facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills to the recipient or acquirer of the instruction.

The instructional designer’s greatest role is that of bridging concepts between education and technology.
