Design & Development

The design phase deals with learning objectives, assessment instruments, exercises, content, subject matter analysis, lesson planning, and media selection. The design phase should be systematic and specific. Systematic means a logical, orderly method of identifying, developing and evaluating a set of planned strategies targeted for attaining the project’s goals. Specific means each element of the instructional design plan must be executed with attention to details. The design phase may involve creation of ‘design document/design proposal’ or ‘concept & structure note’ to aid in final development.

Development

In the development phase, instructional designers and developers create and assemble content assets blueprinted in the design phase. If e-learning is involved, programmers develop or integrate technologies. Designers create storyboards. Testers debug materials and procedures. The project is reviewed and revised according to feedback.
