Instructional Design
Instructional
Design (ID) is the methodical process of determining, creating,
delivering, and evaluating learning and training solutions. It is a
foundational component of successful learning. Think of Instructional
Design as the fundamental architecture, the blueprint, of the learning
territory. The components, considerations, planning, and elements of
Instructional Design work together as a compass, revealing the direction
an instructional approach should take.
An Instructional Design Model is used to guide this process. An ID model may follow a sequential, linear format. Other models are more flexible in their structure, allowing the instructional designer to follow an order or process that is the most logical or practical for the instructional project at hand. Instructional
Design may also be referenced as Instructional Systems, Instructional
Systems Design, Instructional Systems Development, or Learning Systems
Design. Throughout this website, we reference the more common
Instructional Design nomenclature.
In general
terms, this Instructional Design Model is known as ADDIE (Analysis,
Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Most ID models are
based on this common model.
