TRAINING SOLUTION

Instructional Design

A systems approach to Curriculum Design. The ADDIE model in instructional design stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate. It represents a systematic approach to creating effective learning experiences by going through these five distinct phases: analyzing learner needs, designing the course structure, developing the content, implementing the learning program, and evaluating its effectiveness at every stage of the process.

Curriculum & Instruction

Backward Curriculum Design. Backward design begins with the learning objectives of a lesson, module, or course — what students are expected to learn and be able to do — and then proceeds “backward” to create assessments that demonstrate students have learned what was outlined in the learning objectives. Finally, instructors create learning activities and instructional materials that align with and support the achievement of the learning objectives. (Stapleton-Corcoran, UIC).

Interactive Learning

Adobe Captivate. Adobe Captivate is a SCORM Compliant e-Learning Course Authoring tool that allows instructional designers to provide elearning solutions hosted on an LMS or other platforms. Instructional designers can deliver engaging, interactive content, interactive videos, and virtual-reality courses, which go beyond standard slideshows to engage learners or up-skill employees quicker.
