What do you know about instructional design? same as training? same as online courses? Not the same!

There are many definitions but what's common in them is that it is a systematic approach to creating learning interventions such as training and online courses. It's based on science of how human learn.

Many frameworks for instructional design are based in the framework called ADDIE.

What is ADDIE and who uses it - it's a framework used for instructional design. It has 5 stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. People who design learning interventions are Instructional Designers.

Why important? Because it helps the designer to create a better learning intervention. Without a framework, you might be trapped in an endless cycle of updating course materials over and over.

In this lesson, we are going to explore the DESIGN stage of ADDIE.

Activities at Design Stage

What does it mean to design a learning intervention? It's to have a plan for the whole picture. Otherwise you will end up creating something else...

Let's say you are helping your parent hire a house cleaner, and you need to teach them how to do dishes. Let's design it by following steps in the Design stage.

Export the document and take a look at what you wrote. Does it cover everything?

You will keep clarifying different items as you go along. You will refer back to analysis from the previous stage of ADDIE because the analysis dictates almost every decision.

For example... someone says "I just put everything in a dishwasher". Does your parent have a dishwasher? Are you and your parent comfortable if your house cleaner did that? If the answer is yes to both questions, that has to be addressed as a learning objective! e,g. "determine what items can go into dishwasher, what items must be hand washed...." And then go through the steps again to create an assessment and revisit Instructional Strategy etc.
