Gday and welcome to my Blog

Information/instructional design

What it is to me. Yes I know I start alot of Blog with this or have the sentence within it. Oh well. But back to the formal writing style. I hate being formal in a medium like this.

Instructional design provides the reader with a set of steps to follow in order to learn about new information. This information may be a process, knowledge, or diagrams/ artwork. Traditionally instructional design was a paper based set of instructions or learning material designed, often in a linear style for the learner to master one piece of information before progressing to the next step and learning more information. Generally, this progression was from simple to the complex concepts relevant to the learning.

Instructional design today is able to provide learning that is not so rigid in its structure due to the use of computer programs. This has greater flexibility for learner styles as well as acknowledging the information the learner may already have.

Oh and here are some links that relate to this. I got them from my research.
