An Instructional Design Checklist! Yes. Another One!

Is your ID training addressing these Do’s and Don’ts? If yes, then how? Do you address it as an Instructional Design checklist (as attached below), or through practice and feedback? A checklist is the lowest form of a job-aid meant for tasks that are mostly mechanical & physical. Designing instruction is a cognitive task that requires higher-order thinking skills. The training for this must be designed to help you develop several skills and competencies, which is best addressed through a blend of self-paced online courses, facilitated sessions, and assignments that are reviewed by ID experts. However, even this is just a dip into shallow waters – to excel at instructional design you need to work on varied projects with unique demands for at least A YEAR UNDER A GOOD MENTOR.
