Instructional Systems Design

Analysis

Step One: set the measure of success

State the desired outcomes. Who is to do what when. You might have to refine this several times.

Step Two:list all the ingredients of success

Identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be included in the course task analysis. One useful method is to understand which the five types of learning (verbal recall, attitude, motor skill, intellectual skill, cognitive strategy) enhance the realization of the desired outcomes.

Step Three: list the ingredients on hand

Assess participant knowledge, skills, and attitudes

Step Four: Calculate

Adjust the results of Step One and Two in light of the findings of Step Three

ISD for training in a workplace environment involves Task Analysis

• Identify the task in each function and process
• Identify the physical environment in which tasks was to be performed
• Determine motivation for performance
• Determine inputs and outputs of the tasks
• Determine consequences of not performing tasks properly.
• Select the tasks which require training

For any environment ISD involves Audience Analysis

• What skills and knowledge do they already have about the topic?
• Do they have any misconceptions about the topic?
• What attitudes do they have about the content and delivery system?
• What are their educational and ability levels?
• Do they have any learning preferences?
