Instructional Systems Design Handbook |

|
These Web pages are designed to discuss and follow the the instructional systems design model and assist students in analyzing performance problems and learn the basic elements of instructional systems design. The handbook begins with an overview of performance problem analysis. While this is part of the overall ISD process (Analysis Phase), there is value in performing a "mini" needs assessment to determine if the performance gap is due to a knowledge or skills deficiency or it is a management problem. After this determination is made, the training design process can begin. The goal of Instructional Systems Design is to improve performance based on a systems approach to learning. The ISD approach includes five phases. In the analysis phase, the performance problem is clarified, the goals and objectives are established, and the learning environment and learner characteristics are identified. In the design phase the instructional objectives and strategies are designed and the delivery methods are chosen. In the development phase, materials are produced according to decisions made during the design phase. The implementation phase includes the testing of prototypes (with targeted audience), putting the course into full operation. The evaluation phase consists of four phases, evaluating the reaction to training, the learning, the on-the-job behavior and the impact on production. The handbook provides the "how to" basics.
