How do we do it?

IDs work behind the scenes; we collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) & colleagues to design and possibly develop the instruction, but we rarely deliver it themselves.

mmm

Basically, an instructional designer is someone who interviews subject matter experts (SMEs), writes instructional content, & then develops content into an online or face-to-face learning experience.

Instructional design is the art of creating learning experiences that help people gain the skills they need. Our aim is to identify knowledge & skill gaps and find the most powerful ways to close them, whether through online courses, games, or training videos. We try to understand how people learn & apply this knowledge to create engaging and effective learning content.

So, what should we start with?

Here we go!!

Most instructional designers are expected to not only write the instruction, but also develop it into its final online or face-to-face format.Many of the skills outlined here apply to developing eLearning, and that's because this skillset is so in-demand in today's economy. So, acknowledging that the tech climate can and does change somewhat frequently,

Lesson plans, Storyboards &

Interesting!

NoteBook

Lesson plans show what the trainer/instructor intends to teach, how they will teach it, and how they will assess learner's learning. A lesson plan will vary from topic to another, technique to another and also to types of skills..A storyboards is are graphic/written organizers that plans a narrative. Storyboards are a powerful way to visually present information; they layout the instruction plan, the interactions and the means of implementation

Articulate Storyline 360 is widely regarded as the best rapid eLearning authoring tool on the market. You can develop highly custom, interactive eLearning in a fraction of the time that it would take you with another rapid authoring tool (such as Adobe Captivate or Trivantis Lectora, which are used by some companies and development houses).

As an instructional designer, it's rarely necessary to master the entire Adobe suite. However, if you're going to develop eLearning using illustrations and vector graphics, you should know your way around Illustrator. You're probably not going to create many graphics from scratch simply because there usually isn't enough time or budget available for you to do so. But at least know yourway around to edit & iterate.

Vyond is a rapid video authoring tool that you can use to create animated videos relatively quickly. The tool lets you develop in 3 different art styles: business, contemporary, and whiteboard. Videos like this are excellent for soft skills training, explainer videos, microlearning, and much more. The tool is great for instructional designers because it's easy to use and much faster to develop with.
