Just what is ‘instructional design’ and what is the job function of a instructional designer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

the following is ‘borrowed’ from Wikipedia<\/em> (parentheses are ours):<\/p>\n

Instructional Design (also called Instructional Systems Design (ISD)) is the practice of maximizing the effectiveness, efficiency and appeal of instruction and other learning experiences. The process consists broadly of determining the current state and needs of the learner<\/span> (analysis), defining the end goal of instruction<\/span> (design), and creating some “intervention” to assist in the transition (development).<\/div> Ideally the process is informed by pedagogically <\/span>(process of teaching) and <\/span>(also) andragogically –adult learning– tested theories of learning and may take place in student-only, teacher-led or community-based settings <\/span>(can you think of any others? like games etc?).<\/p>\n

What does a instructional designer do?<\/h2>\n

Ok, ok, now that we have that covered I guess we all can go home, no?<\/p>\n

Oh, so, you want some more information do you? .. like what? how about what does an instructional designer do<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Oh, and someone else out there wants to know how much an instructional designer makes <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those of you who teach in K-12 classrooms want to know who\/where is your instructional designer? lol. We are sorry to have to tell you to go look in the mirror! Yep.. many business have to folks on an instructional team.. the designer and the so-called ‘platform’ person.. the one who stands up in front of the students to say (sorry, I mean teach) the lesson.. in K-12 we all know this kind of support staff does not exist… This topic will come up again and we will have the chance to reflection on it and discuss it further.<\/p>\n

So, why are we covering Instructional Design (ID)? Over the course of the semester we will be covering several design models that are quite easy to implement and should work for you. We also are going to be covering an article written by folks over 20 years ago who asked the same question and offered some insights.<\/p>\n

Definitions<\/h2>\n

In the meantime, we need to provide you some links to places you can go to get a overview of the ID ‘domain’
\n(by the way….This is why we do not need a textbook for this course: About 7,450,000 results come up on Google for the term “Instructional Design”!!!!)<\/p>\n

The outcome of this instruction may be directly observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed (implement). There are many instructional design models but many are based on the ADDIE model <\/strong><\/a><\/span> (see even the Internet is ‘pushing’ one design methodology over others… ADDIE is one but not the only one) with the five phases: 1) analysis, 2) design, 3) development, 4) implementation, and 5) evaluation. As a field, instructional design is historically and traditionally rooted in cognitive and behavioral psychology<\/span> (so I guess we need to look at these fields, also!!).<\/p>\n
