Instructional Designers design courses that will effectively teach specific skills. Instructional Designers create both instructor-led courses as well as Web-based courses. Most of the information in this Web site can be used by any Instructional Designer, but a few sections apply specifically to the process of creating online training. With numerous software tools, guidelines, stylesheets and reusable files, these Instructional Designers create training modules destined for self-guided, computer-based instruction.

This Web site has been designed to:

    ·  Explore the role of Instructional Designers
    ·  Define the tasks and responsibilities of Online Course Developers
    ·  Highlight some of the tools used to create online courses
    ·  Provide online references for each subject explored
    ·  Show some ID and graphics examples
