The course on Instructional Design and learning theories explains the various Learning Theories and suggests ways to integrate their principles in designing learning and teaching. The learners in this course will be able to use scientific principles and findings to base their course design on and to use contemporary technologies appropriately in their course and teaching plans. For the passionate teacher or Instructional designer, aspects of Learner engagement, involvement and experience are more important than just the process or technology of Teaching and training. This course brings in discussions on how the learning theories may be applied in the Instructional Design process to provide an engaging experience to the learners. The proliferation of newer technologies every day have necessitated developing skills to analyze the learning behaviours as well as the matching technology options. This is where the actual skills of design come in adding value to the core skills of teaching or instructional design.
This course takes the learners through multiple types of learning which are emerging giving the context of design and experience. This will enable the Instructional Designers, teachers and trainers not only to understand the different learning theories but also to identify precise situations or elements of experience in designing materials or training programs. With a practical approach to theory and a thinking context, this course will ensure that the participants develop unique skills to articulate the needs of learners and to provide solutions to address their learning needs.
