5.) Instructional Technology and Curriculum Development

• Our division utilizes a systematic training development process (Instructional Systems Design – ISD). This process specifies events that occur during the development and delivery of training. This process assures standardized training package (STP’s) are developed for our clients/customers/sponsors. The ISD process consist of five (5) phases:
  
  • Analysis involves the determination of job performance and training requirements by working closely with subject matter experts and analyzing tasks as well as the target audience;
  • Design involves the development and sequencing of learning objectives, and the identification of instructional methods, media, and testing activities;
  • Development involves the creation of instructional materials (e.g., instructor guide, student guide, lesson plan, media and materials, and student assessment instruments);
  • Delivery involves presenting the course to the target populations (e.g., computer or print self-paced learning modules, distance learning, and instructor-led classroom session;
  • Evaluation activities provide feedback on the effectiveness and quality of the training experience. These activities occur throughout the ISD process and after implementation of training.
