Instructional Technology encompasses the basic processes for developing and delivering instruction. Instructional Systems Design (ISD) is a well-established methodology for describing knowledge and skills and developing instructional systems to effectively conveying knowledge. This course enables the student to be able to plan, organize, and systematically develop instructional materials. The course uses an ISD model to analyze, design, deliver, and evaluate instruction.

Computer software that teaches is referred to as courseware. This course is a continuation of HCIN-660 that transitions from general instructional design into the actual application of these principles in a computer-based environment. Although the basic principles of instructional design hold true in all media environments, using these teaching and learning principles is somewhat different when developing instruction that will be delivered by computer. This course teaches procedures that have already been successful in the design and development of courseware. Successful students should have one year of object-oriented programming.

Instructional software is referred to as courseware. This course is a continuation of Fundamentals of Instruction Technology (ISTE-560), and serves as a transition from general instructional design principles to the actual application of these principles in a computer-based environment. Using teaching and learning principles is somewhat different when developing instruction that will be delivered by computer. This course teaches techniques that have been successful in the design and development of courseware as well as reviewing current theories and models.
