Instructional Design Strategies for Rapid eLearning Development
Create templates with basic elements so that they can be re-used for subsequent courses
Templates can be created for • Project Plan • Storyboard • Page Layout
1. Project plan template: A project plan template includes details of the project process, deliverables, team responsibilities and important timelines
2. Storyboard template: You can use either MS word or PowerPoint to create storyboard templates. It should typically contain screen data such as the unit name with number, screen title with number and the type of the screen
3. Page layout template: It provides an easy reference point which can be customized and developed for each course. This significantly reduces the development time
Course objectives: Before designing the course, you need to determine the course objectives
Content of the course: Once you know the course objective , you need to collate and analyze the course content
Characteristics of learners: At the same time you also need to understand learner’s profile
Context of learning: Context in which the learning has been initiated is another important factor to be considered by an eLearning development expert
Create the course: Choose an authoring tool that is best for the content and context
Check to see if it meets learning objective: Seek feedback about the course from key stakeholders to ensure it meets the purpose
Circulate: Once the course receives final approval, it can be sent for deployment either by hosting on the LMS or through the company’s portals
