Free Practice Activities
COMING SOON!
As you will learn in the book, there is no single approach to instructional design. Every organization will adhere to a different macro process. Each instructional designer might modify their process to meet specific project needs.
In this page we will soon provide a set of videos as an unfolding case study. These represent a process for one approach to handling an authentic instructional design project.
Each of the interviews will represent a small part of a simulated instructional design project case. There are many different ways you can use these videos.
Watch the interviews to observe an instructional designer at work with a client and subject matter expert (SME).
Use the templates we provide to practice taking notes and making the kinds of design decisions that instructional designers have to make while on the job.
Reflect on what the instructional designer could have done differently.
Reflect on what you might do differently if you were the instructional designer.

Design and Develop
After you have created your own Learner analysis, Environmental analysis, Task analysis, and Learning requirements analysis, you can continue your work on this simulated case. Your next steps might include, but are not limited to the following:
Watch this video on how to flip a task analysis (TA) into a job aid (JA) and performance requirements (PR) into a performance assessment (PA).
Use your completed case deliverables (i.e., learner analysis, environmental analysis, task analysis, performance assessment) and the instructional plan template that we provide to design an learning and development intervention.
Use your completed case deliverables to develop instructional materials (i.e., the things learners and instructors would use during the intervention).
