Instructional Design Fundamentals: Self-Study Course

Design effective learner-centred training courses.

Four popular modules from our in-house learning impact and instructional design programme, available in a self-study format.

 

What You Will Cover

The Instructional Design Fundamentals self-study course covers these four popular modules from our learning impact and instructional design programme:

PA01: Setting the Scene

 

This module lays some key foundational ideas and principles, by exploring three three key areas:

  • How theories of instructional design exert significant influence over how we think about learning.
  • How to identify and leverage likely levels of motivation amongst your learners.
  • How to establish a framework for evaluating your learning, from the outset.

PA02: Getting Up and Running

 
This very task-focused module guides you through 2 key elements of your early stage analysis work:
  • gathering a clear picture of your learners, and
  • identifying their needs. 
The module also explores how to align those learner needs with the evaluation framework introduced in module PA01.

PA03 Analysing and Scoping Your Content

 

This module focuses specifically on the third (and often forgotten) element of the early development cycle: analysing and scoping your content.

The module introduces a simple content taxonomy which enables you to better scope and categorise content based on learner need, rather than subject matter expert preference.

IDF01 Achieving Successful Skills and Knowledge Transfer

 
This module introduces:
  • the skills and knowledge transfer continuum.
  • the three types of transfer that sit on this continuum.
  • how to identify the kind of transfer type (or types) for the content you are working with, and
  • the implications this has for your learning design – especially in relation to the type of practice you build into your design.
 

How You Benefit

This course will help you to:

  • Explore key approaches to and aspects of instructional design
  • Integrate newer, alternative approaches with more traditional ones.
  • Analyse your subject matter to better understand its purpose and relevance for your intended learners.
  • Apply different types of transfer effectively in your course design and understand when you should use each type.
  • Select the most effective types of practice for your learners, based on context and delivery medium.
 

Who Is It For?

This course is ideal for anyone:
  • new to instructional design.
  • with existing, but limited instructional design experience.
  • with lots of experience, but no previous formal training in instructional design.
