Courses

In response to the many enquiries about courses on Instructional Design, Annette is currently designing and developing courses to meet the demand. The first course "Foundations of Effective Instructional Design" is NOW complete and ready for students. The courses will primarily be on-line but custom made face to face courses can be developed on demand.

Foundations of Effective Instructional Design - NOW AVAILABLE

This course will give a broad overview of the following topics.

1. Defining the Field of Instructional Design
2. Professional Ethics and Guidelines
3. Learning Theories
4. Learning Science
5. Designing technology-based learning resources
6. Introduction to Instructional Design Models

The course is delivered through an online Learning Management System. The content will consist of text and images around the above six topics. Students will be asked to complete individual tasks and group tasks to enhance the learning experience. This includes discussion forums, collaborative writing Wikis, personal Blog, and submission of small tasks. Individualised feedback will be given to students. The course will take approximately six hours to complete reading and tasks though students will be given one month of access to the course; this will allow time to make the most of the course materials, get personalised feedback and to work with other students.
