Foundation Course in Instructional Design

Instructional design includes assessing learning needs, designing the learning process, creating rich learning experiences, developing learning materials and evaluating the effectiveness of a program or training development course.

This is achieved by drawing on principles of andragogy (how adults learn), instructional design principles and methods of instructional design, such as the ADDIE Model).

As demand for learning has grown, so too has the need for quality instructional design. This course unpacks best learning design principles and introduces the models and frameworks used to design and develop effective learning. 

Through project-based assessments, you’ll identify your learners’ needs and learning contexts where they will apply their new skills. 

In addition, you will design the instructional strategy that will help you develop a prototype course and create an evaluation plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the course design.

Students, by the end of this course session, will be able to comprehend the following:

• Basic instructional design theories and frameworks

• How to identify the needs of your learners

• How to develop an instructional strategy and evaluation plan

• How to align learning objectives and assessments

• How to design, develop, and evaluate an e-learning course
