Instructional Design
There are many definitions and descriptions of Instructional Design (ID). Common across most definitions are:
- the analysis of learner/learning/teaching needs
- the analysis of teaching and delivery methods
- implementation of pedagogically sound assessment and evaluation
- carefully considered integration of technology
Instructional Designers at RRC Polytech carry out these core functions as well as advise on course outline development, learning outcomes and performance indicators. We also advise on teaching methods and technology choice/integration. We are available to consult on how to develop, enhance and assess face-to-face, online and blended courses.
