The educational design
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
There is a lot of this:
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
..and this:
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
I want to develop stuff like this:
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
..and this:
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Getting started..
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Process i
• You will need a structure to hold the process together
• Confusion about models, methodologies, processes:
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Process ii
• Lots of theories• There is not a ‘magic bullet’ – e-learning
means different things to different people!• Commercial sector very keen on templates,
models and structures…• Intuition vs process

Other ID ‘models’
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Key aspects at the start
• Good quality educational design• Should reflect:
• How learning occurs now• Definition of audience• Learning content• Learning approach• Learning organisation• Assessment strategy
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
How not to do it
Who are the learners? “..all sorts..”
Typical qualifications? “..all sorts..”
Experienced CPD practitioners? “..a wide group..”
Time to learn? “..no idea..”
Career path? “..no idea..”
Learner autonomy? “..the full range..”
Learner preferences? “..no idea..”
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Engaging with ‘client’
• Identifying learner profile – getting under the skin
• Client aspirations: “quirky” “modern” etc.• What’s the reality?• Finding comparable examples• You will need to give ‘steer’..
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Activity
• Work in small groups..• Read scenario & discuss your approach:• Initial impressions• Possible solutions• Questions?
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Feedback
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Learning objectives
• Lots of debate about learning objectives• Important to agree outcomes with ‘sponsor’• How important is it to feature objectives in
an e-learning session?• Demo:• E-lfh• Broken Coworker
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Learning objectives
• Gros (1996) suggested that modern instructional designers rarely work according to the theories..they work intuitively..
• …dangerous but probably true…• Whichever approach you select, as an ID you
should agree a target or outcome with your author/subject matter expert

The learning design
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
First steps
• The educational design reveals the basic ingredients• ID interprets the learning design and discusses:• Instruction/interaction• Structure• Visuals• Assessment
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Instruction/interaction
Popular e-learning models include:
1.The ‘Information’ Model2.The ‘Knowledge & Skills’ Model3.The ‘Behaviour & Attitudes’ Model
…although we could (and should!) argue that there plenty of other ‘models’…!
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Information
• User-driven (’just-in-time’)• Delivers information quickly• Varying methods, including:• Search and find (e.g. ‘Google’ approach)• Process flow (e.g. timelines or processes)• Topics & categories (e.g. the ‘interactive manual’)• Magazine style (e.g. structured information delivery)
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Knowledge & Skills
• User comprehension and ability to practice• Typically uses PEET model:• Present (e.g. content delivery)• Exemplify (e.g. case studies, stories, discussions)• Explore (e.g. problem-solving, scenarios)• Test (e.g. formative/summative testing)
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Behaviour & Attitudes
• Real-world examples and simulations with opportunities to succeed and fail
• Typically uses branching scenarios, games• Popular approach in delivering ‘soft’ skills
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Reality check
• In many projects, applying models is not always so simple:
• The models overlap• Goalposts move• Learning processes don’t always fit into boxes….• Consider alternative approaches
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Activity
• Return to groups..• Revisit your scenario & discuss your
approach:• Agree 2/3 objectives• Is your solution still viable?• Is there an appropriate model?• What next?
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Wireframes
• Enables effective relationship management• Focus on learning not visual• Good ‘visioning’ approach• Tools:• Powerpoint• Gliffy• Lots of free online tools
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Activity
• Return to groups..• Take your proposed model and develop a
simple wireframe for your project• You may wish to think about assets…• Feedback

Various approaches..
• Should be informed by learning design, but…• Storyboarding• ‘Rapid’ development
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Powerpoint templates

Rapid development
• Planning/Storyboarding/authoring integration• Typically using:• Articulate Engage/Studio/Storyline• Captivate• Xerte• Udutu
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
Activity
• Return to groups..• Take your proposed project and develop a
storyboard• Consider roles:• Developer/designer• Asset manager• Assessment?• Feedback
• Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
•Peer review – the learning
•Subject review – the content
• What is the process?
• Standards
• Roles and responsibilities
Review and QA
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
• Content formats – always go for lowest common denominator
• Regular f2f meetings – milestone planning essential…• If working with a storyboard, ensure that ID has
‘master’• Copyright – ensure you are bullet-proof – if in doubt
find an alternative!• On large projects, ensure line management clear –
authors/sub-authors etc…
Working with authors
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
• IPR: much thornier than copyright especially if authors being paid for content
• Get proper legal advice (e.g. JISC Legal)
Legal stuff
An Introduction to Instructional Design for E-learning
• Clarity– define all acronyms and ensure grammar very clear
• Do not cram screens• Assume nothing about your learners• Try and find opportunities for ‘doing’ – not always
easy…• Ensure a 20 min session really is 20 mins!• Ensure documentation is fit for purpose…..
