New on the Horizon - Instructional Design (ID) 

What is Instructional Design?
In short, instructional design is the systematic process by which instructional materials are designed, developed, and delivered. The terms instructional design, instructional technology, educational technology, curriculum design, and instructional systems design (ISD), are often used interchangeably (Instructional Design CENTRAL, 2014).

The program's pilot focus and marketing target demographic will be military personnel in an instructor/trainer role, who may need instructional support and education due to the downsizing of commands and Navy-wide initiatives for "reducing administrative distractions" (RAD) and the streamlining of "command-delivered training". 

The CMVE/Military Contract Programs will help support commands through RAD by offering training for those in instructional/training roles, which would help the Navy stay focused on mission readiness. Upon the completion of a successful proof of concept with a military-focused demographic, the program will be expanded to include other demographics and/or markets (i.e. TCC faculty and administrators, education community, etc.).

The program is anticipated to start early September, 2014, which will consist of 6 courses, 4 - 8 weeks in length. 

Program Courses:

1. Introduction to Instructional Design
2. Analysis and Course Design
3. Developing Measurable Learning Objectives and Assessments

Upon successful completion of the ID Program, participants will receive a badge to utilize in their email signature and syllabi or syllabuses and a certificate of completion.
