Instructional Design

Catalog description

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of technology-based instruction by examining the pedagogy of teaching and the use of technology as a teaching tool. The instructional design theories that are introduced are equally applicable to education, training and learning in general. Blending these theories, participants design instructional materials that take full advantage of their target population's learning strengths, and help their learners master the material and identified learning objectives. The design activities are provided to guide students in the development of an overall unit of instruction and how the particular lesson they will create in this course fits into the grand scheme of the identified unit of instruction.
