Introduction


 * Welcome to Instructional Design! **

** There is never one perfect approach to solving an instructional design problem." **

**Welcome to Module One** **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, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some "intervention" to assist in the transition. Ideally the process is informed by [|pedagogically]  (process of teaching) and [|andragogically]  (adult learning) tested theories of learning and may take place in student-only, teacher-led or community-based settings. The outcome of this instruction may be directly observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed. There are many instructional design models but many are based on the ADDIE model with the five phases: 1- analysis, 2- design, 3- development, 4- implementation, and 5- evaluation.
