Instructional Design is a process that informs and guides the development of a lesson, activity or course. The CTL employs two qualified instructional designers who support teachers and programs from all campuses. The links below provide access to the basic and most important aspects of the instructional design process:
- how to, plan, construct, analyze, evaluate and manage the instructional process effectively so that it will ensure competent performance from students,
- how to identify problems, discover learner characteristics, define objectives, develop methods and evaluate students and objectives used to instruct them, and
- select applicable resources in an appropriate medium, to support learning activities.
