Instructional Design for New Instructional Designers

Length: 4 days (3 with fewer exercises).

About this Certificate Program: Learn the processes and techniques for designing and developing learning programs. Using a combination of discovery learning techniques, lectures, and discussions, learn about the unique nature of learning in the classroom and online. Also learn the instructional systems design process, which steps you through each phase of designing and developing an e-learning course. Finally, begin building a repertoire of teaching techniques to use with your programs. The certificate program concludes with a hands-on exercise in which you design a learning module.

At the end of this program, students are eligible for a certificate of completion.

Who Should Attend: People who have never developed a learning program or have limited experience and no formal instruction in the process.
