Chapter 1 (See original post for textbook) is an introduction to instructional design. Many teachers and trainers are taught extensively about designing lesson plans and presenting lessons. Briefly tell the class about how you were trained (either in college or in your district) about planning lessons. How comfortable are you with your planning? Are you thorough enough? Do you find it to be a helpful process or a necessary evil of being a teacher or trainer?

This course is about gaining an in-depth understanding of instructional design and how the instructional design process affects teaching and learning.
It uses the text: Dick, W., Carey, L. & Carey, J.O. (2015). The systematic design of instruction. (8th ed.). New York: Pearson. Instruction begins with a clear definition of a "system" and defines instructional design (ID). After listing a few definitions below, you will see a few of the discussion questions from the course as blog posts. Feel free to post any responses or comments. Definitions System- is technically a set of interrelated parts, all of which work together toward a defined goal. Systems Thinking- How a system's constituent parts interrelate and how systems work over time and within the context of eventual learning outcomes. Collectively these design models and the processes they represent are referred to as instructional systems development (ISD) : an umbrella term that includes all phases of the ISD process. |
