A Guide to Instructional Design
$9.95
Our introduction to instructional design is a booklet, presented in interview format, that asks you to consider something you already teach in terms of a well-rounded teaching framework.

It begins with what most lessons all have, the content. (What do you want learners to know?)
It then looks at learner practice. (How do they develop skills?)

From there, the questioning becomes more diverse:

How is learning connected to learners at a feeling level?
How is the real-world relevance of material made clear?
What originally authored applications will learners create in their development of TRUE understanding?

When you finish this unique perspective on your instruction, you will have a clear sense of strengths and weaknesses of your instructional designs and of what type of learners your are connecting with.
