Designing and Developing Instruction on a Shoestring

Saul Carliner
Professor of Educational Communication and Technology at Concordia University in Montreal

About this Seminar: Challenged with developing instruction on a tight schedule? Tight budget? Limited resources? Or all of these?

This seminar provides ideas for that you can use throughout the instructional design process to create quality instruction with the resources available to you.  After reviewing the instructional design process and introducing a particular framework that helps instructional designers adjust their work to the realities of their projects, this seminar describes specific tactics and develops particular skills that can benefit each phase of the process: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation., as well as designing and developing instruction with limited resources for the live and virtual classroom, and online self-study. Hands-on activities as well as worksheets provided in the seminar prepare you to transfer these ideas to your work.

What You Should Learn:

• Apply a general project classification system for instructional design projects that aligns with resources available
  
• Devise concrete strategies for conducting useful needs analyses with limited time, funds, and availability of materials
  
• Design programs that leverage existing content—even content that’s copyrighted by another organization
  
• Develop templates that speed course development while promoting consistency
  
• Master generic writing to maximize the use of content while minimizing revision and reuse costs
  
• Conduct useful, low-cost pilots of courses
  
• Leverage resources in your LMS to conduct evaluations  and promote transfer of your programs
