Practical Instructional Design for eLearning

Typically, Instructional Design textbooks and university courses cover all the Instructional Design theory but miss out on the real tasks that instructional designers perform on a daily basis.Through my course, I'll show you the steps for creating your course from a practical perspective, and then explain where the theory fits in, rather than the other way around. This, by the way, is what good instruction is all about (and it's a solid instructional design theory as well!) - I'll 'Tell' you the steps for course creation, 'Show' you where the theory fits in, give you to opportunity to 'Do' what I have taught you, and finally, allow you to 'Apply' your knowledge! Welcome to Instructional Design!If you:· Want to prepare yourself for the real tasks that instructional designers perform on a daily basis· Have only theoretical knowledge but don't know where this theory fits in· Feel you have gaps in your understanding about the instructional design processThen this course is for you!The course is divided into the following ten sections:IntroductionStep 1: Finalise the BriefStep 2: Fill in the Content OutlineStep 3: Analyse the ContentStep 4: Chunk the ContentStep 5: Create Relevant ObjectivesStep 6: Decide the TreatmentStep 7: Storyboard the CourseStep 8: Create AssessmentsAfter completing this course, you should be able to:Understand the brief and ask valid questionsCreate a detailed content outlineAnalyse the given content, identify gaps, and ask important questionsChunk the content into appropriate sectionsCreate relevant objectives designed for your courseDecide the best treatment for every screen of your courseStoryboard your course using the template that works best for youCreate effective assessments that map to your objectives
