What is Instructional Design?

Instructional Design (ID) is the systematic approach to determining the need for instruction,
designing and developing objectives, content, and assessments around that need, and
evaluating the effectiveness of your design in relationship to instruction.
Our program models best practices in the field by teaching learners how to design effective
instruction for instructor led or web-based delivery through the alignment of appropriate
instructional strategies and assessments.
This process can be helpful whether you are starting from scratch or redesigning (improving)
existing instruction.
The program also introduces strategies for developing computer-mediated training and matching
technology tools to instructional problems. Finally, students learn skills for managing the
instructional design process whether they are responsible for one project or multiple.

Course 1: EDUC 765 Trends and Issues in Instructional Design


This is an 8-week online instructional design course
which provides an introduction to learning theory,
instructional design models, and the instructional
design and development process. You will study
variables that affect adult learning, techniques for
stimulating and sustaining learner motivation, and
how to reinforce learning.
Whether you are in health care, education, business,
software development or any other industry, this
online course will help you to analyze, design, and
develop instruction.
NOTE: Throughout the instructional design
certificate courses you will create portfolio quality
products. For this course, you will create a course
design document and develop a unit or module of
instruction.
