Design Process

Primary Steps

There are many different instructional design models; however, the primary steps in the design process are:

  • Goal Setting: Identifying the overall course goal
     
  • Analysis: Including analysis of what is to be learned, of the learners, of the learning environment, and, of the environment in which the learning is to eventually be applied
     
  • Development of Objectives: Identifying and stating in measurable terms the objectives for each lesson
     
  • Development of Assessment Measures: Identifying criterion-referenced assessment measures
  • Identification of Instructional Strategies: Chunking learning into logical components, selecting the appropriate media, and identifying the instructional strategies that will best facilitate learning
     
  • Development of Materials: Producing the materials and Web site components for an online class; also includes obtaining commercially-produced materials/textbooks as appropriate
     
  • Evaluate and Revise: Field testing the instructional components with typical learners and soliciting peer and expert review in order to appropriately revise materials
