Survey of Instructional Design (ID) Models offers a framework for adopting or adapting (ID) models for use in curriculum, courses, and training development. Teaching and learning paradigms in conjunction with how technology influences instructional delivery, the authors help readers consider the inherent value in matching ID with a corresponding context. Thus, effective ID models, and therefore the designs themselves, must be responsive to different educational contexts. This webinar will help practicing IDs in the following areas:

• Distinguish between the process of instructional design and specific models
• Describe the different ways in which instruction is systematically designed
• Identify other philosophical approaches to designing instruction; cyclical, layered, etc.
• Visualize the processes commonly used to design instruction
• Discuss future implications for instructional design
