Instructional Design Fundamentals
Self-Study Course
Design and develop effective, learner-centred training
One course. Four popular modules from our in-house instructional design programme.
WHAT YOU WILL COVER...
The Instructional Design Fundamentals course covers these four popular modules from our instructional design programme:
PA01: Setting the Scene
This module lays some key foundational ideas and principles, by exploring three three key areas:
- How theories of instructional design exert significant influence over how we think about learning.
- How to identify and leverage likely levels of motivation amongst your learners.
- How to establish a framework for evaluating your learning, from the outset.
PA02 Getting Up and Running
This very task-focused module guides you through 2 key elements of your early stage analysis work:
- gathering a clear picture of your learners, and
- identifying their needs.
The module also explores how to align those learner needs with the evaluation framework introduced in module PA01.
PA04 Analysing Your Content
This module focuses specifically on the third (and often forgotten) element of the early stage development cycle: analysing and scoping your content.
The module introduces a simple content taxonomy which enables you to better analyse, scope and categorise subject matter expert content based on learner need.
This avoids subject matter expert preferences influencing content scope.
PA04 Successful Skills and Knowledge Transfer
This module introduces:
- the skills and knowledge transfer continuum.
- the three types of transfer that sit on this continuum.
- how to identify the kind of transfer type (or types) for the content you are working with, and
- the implications this has for your learning design – especially in relation to the type of practice you build into your design.
