This session will be of interest for participants who would like to learn more about Instructional Design best practices. It will be suitable for anyone who designs and develops courses including writers, subject matter experts and instructors. We will explore the most widely adopted approaches to instructional design. The session will include examples of course design and educational technology that can be applied in a variety of contexts. We will discuss design approaches, working with SMEs, development practices (including rapid prototyping and storyboarding), piloting and analysis. Resources and templates will be shared so participants put them to use in their own practice.
