Learning Design and Development

Building upon the foundational principles covered in Course 1, this course focuses on the practical application of instructional design in the development of effective learning solutions. Learners will engage in a comprehensive exploration of the instructional design process ADDIE - from analysis and design to development, implementation, and evaluation. Learners will conduct needs assessments, analyse learner characteristics, identify performance gaps, and define instructional goals. They will then design measurable learning outcomes, assessments, and inclusive instructional strategies. Hands-on experience will be provided in developing engaging content, multimedia, and eLearning modules. Finally, learners will explore implementation planning, learner, and facilitator preparation, and evaluating the effectiveness of their designs. Throughout the course, learners will engage in project-based learning and developing instructional design solutions. They will also develop project management and collaboration skills essential for working effectively in diverse instructional design teams. Learners will be able to analyse needs, design, develop, implement, and evaluate instructional solutions, and continuously improve their practice, preparing them for various educational and organisational contexts in the evolving digital landscape.
