What is Instructional Design
Instructional design is a systematic approach to creating instruction that provides a clear path and destination for learning. Described as both a science and an art (Piskurich, 2015), it is a well-established discipline based on proven learning theories and instructional practices. As an art form, it offers flexibility for creativity and individual design style.
