HRD 5317 Training Design

In this course, instructional design (ID) and training design will be used interchangeably as we use ID models and principles in this course. To design and develop effective, efficient, and engaging instructions is a common goal of all instructors, instructional designers, as well as trainers (Merrill, 2013).  Many see instructional design (ID) as a science as well as an art. Quality training require systematic analyses, integral evaluations, and evidence-based practices.  Creative approaches based on ID experiences are also necessary. In this course, students will learn the core skills of ID to design and develop training programs by applying the skills they learned into diverse organizational contexts.
