The purpose of the Instructional Design Theories, Models and Strategies course is to introduce you to instructional design and development skills beyond the basics, as well as the conceptual underpinnings for various instructional design models and theories. In addition, the course will familiarize you with a number of different design strategies that can be practically applied in various educational settings and workplaces.

This course is based on the philosophical foundation that there is no one procedure for instructional design. Rather, the focus is on selecting an approach that works best for an audience, context, and content. An important outcome of the course is the completion of a practical instructional design project that addresses an instructional problem selected by the course participants.
