Instructional Design (ID)? The systematic process of translating principles of learning and instruction into plans for instructional materials and activities.

Three Major Questions Where are we going? Objectives How will we get there? Inst. Strategy How will we know when we have arrived? Evaluation What are the objectives of the instruction What is the instructional strategy and the instructional medium What should our tests look like: How will we evaluate and revise the instructional materials?

So, the first activity is?

A = Analysis In analysis stage of ID process, want to find out What is the goal or intended outcome : Needs Goal analysis What is the content/task What is the context Technology Who are the learners or audience
