May Meeting Notice

Instructional Systems Design: Your Key to Unlocking Secrets to Successful Training!

How often have you been given an assignment to create training materials and you don't even know where to begin?

Simply stated, the Instructional Systems Design (ISD) process provides a means for sound decision making to determine the who, what, when, where, why, and how of training. The concept of a systems approach to training is based on obtaining an overall view of the training process. It is characterized by an orderly means of gathering and analyzing collective and individual performance requirements, and by the ability to respond to identified training needs.

ISD helps trainers by:

Using a systematic approach and a common language to solve problems effectively and appropriately
Giving the foundation needed to create repeatable processes
Providing experience to develop courses and materials faster and with higher quality

Come join us at our May meeting as our presenter introduces you to the fundamentals of Instructional System Design.
