So why do I need an instructional design consultant?
Instructional design is the process of determining the current state and needs
of the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some
“intervention” to assist in the transition. In simpler terms, it is a learning
blueprint. This blueprint is used to guide the learner and help them focus on
the relevant course material. It is used to keep the learner interested in the
course by explaining why the material is important and how it will help them
perform their job more effectively.I
won’t get into the specifics of instructional design; there are hundreds of
methodologies. I will just say the instructional design, in any form, is better
than none at all.
At the eLearning Authority, all of our courses go through a
specific learning cycle which promotes comprehension and retention. Adult
learners have specific needs, and it is the job of the instructional design
consultant to meet those needs using effective scenarios/examples and relevant
questions based on provided material.
