The course has been an eye opener. I learnt new ways to look at the content that I have been working on. All the anecdotes that Purnima shared in her videos made it easy for me to connect more with the topic. Overall it has been a good learning experience.
To begin with, the course never felt like one! It was an amazing journey, in which Purnima took us from one milestone to another with her anecdotes and interesting tasks. I loved the fact that it was not at all content heavy. The video, theory section and the task managed to hold the attention of the learner throughout each episode. Also, it was extremely convenient to complete one episode per day. Kudos to Purnima and her team for building such an amazing course. I loved every bit of it!
I have been in the L&D field for the last 20 years. To upskill I took up the course and wondered what new could it teach me. Boy, was I surprised! It’s simple, interesting and created keeping the working professional in mind. Not only did I enjoy the course thoroughly but also learn new concepts and polish my skills.
Thank you Purnima and Ruchi for creating a delightful and enbaling course!
This course itself uncovers the ID principles which a candidate has to apply in the workplace and sets the foundation Basics of Instructional Design.
Each activity/unit enables learning.
The course explains the theories involved in ID and how are they implemented to design an Instructional unit. So, ID is not about design, layout, video, audio. The heart of ID is the application of theories and the frameworks in order to create effective and learner centric courses
I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in starting their ID careers or those in it already seeking a formal training. The course is well-structured and well-administered.
This self paced course provides you the base for Instructional Designing. Step by learning from 1 Episode to another, from base ID models to framing questions makes you novice to professional. Great learning techniques. Thank you so much Purnima mam for all the guidance in this amazing journey.
I found the course very refreshing – the new angle of content types being introduced. The design of the course is very enterprising, with the Food for thought videos and a task at the end of each episode. The final assessment is challenging. I will definitely recommend this course to others.
The course is very to the point and has a good structure. This is the highly recommended course for people who want to take a teaching or instructional design profession.
