Instructional Design

Instructional design is the process of creating learning experiences for learners that enables them to gain the knowledge and experience they need to be effective in their roles.

Instructional designers have an intimate knowledge of adult learning principles and apply these principles to create learning resources that are accessible and meaningful for learners and build on their acquired experience.

Instructional Design Process

PD Training’s instruction design process is based on two key principles:

• Learner-centric design – understanding who the learner is, what will drive them and keeping this central to the design process
• A clear purpose – understanding clearly from the client what the learning goals and expectations are and working backwards from there to create the learning journey

PD Training’s instructional design process follows the ADDIE model to create a learning program:
