Instructional Systems Design is the process of designing and developing instructional courses or materials that bring greater efficiency and effectiveness to acquiring knowledge or skills for learners. This free online course in Instructional Systems Design reviews important aspects such as learning theories and learning objectives and how they influence the design process. It also reviews the role of memory, needs analysis, and design models such as ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Robert Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction are also discussed with examples of their application and use. Finally, learning technologies and how they are used to deliver training are reviewed, as well as techniques for measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of the instructional materials. This course will be of great interest to all human resources, teaching and training professionals who are involved in training, instructional design and e-learning, and who would like to learn more about important aspects of instructional systems design and their use and application in designing and developing highly effective instructional materials or courses.

    Comment: Analysis phase: do a research to find out who the audience are, their characteristics, new behavioural outcomes etc.
    Design phase: this phase deals with the objectives, assessments, exercises, content, etc.they should be systematic and specific.
    development phase: final product is developed by the programmers.
    implementation phase: actual presentation of the course
    evaluation phase: this is the formative and sumative assessment of the overall performance of the project
