Instructional Design

Instructional Design has to do with taking a structured approach to development and the effective management of all stages of the developmental cycle from needs analysis and setting goals, outcomes and objectives to design or selection of materials and eventual evaluation of outcomes.

​

Development of competence in Instructional Design helps managers and leaders make the transition from subject matter expert to an impactful designer of developmental interventions.

 

This intensive and practical course will provide attendees with all of the tools, approaches, skills, models, mindsets and ideas they need in order to effectively design instructional content and conclude with a practice developmental session.
