E-learning evolution

Instructional designers' jobs are in the building process: assessing, extracting, molding, refining, and revised the content for learning results. When a Subject Matter Expert finishes writing a course module, the Instructional Designer takes place. The building stage usually takes months. Each activity is part of the overall program design and must go through test and revised process before lunch it. In a well-designed training program, nothing is accidental, everything is on purpose. The "ID" identifies learning missions and make sure that learners get knowledge and take them into practice.

In this digital learning period, I try to find out instructional design stand point, the way we match it to the new learning styles which shifted from classroom training to e-training.

The multimedia revolution brings chance to improve the effective of training. For instance, distance e-learning programs can save cost in travel, space allocation, salaries, and time consuming. As a result, there's an opportunity to swap from formerly unstable classroom programs into something well designed that delivers the learning objectives and the answer is e-learning.

The importance of instructional design in traditional training development is even more critical when multimedia is involved. So Instructional designers need to pay more attention when they design the program because the multimedia training product now must serve as both content and instructor.

Hello Oraya,
I too think that there is an efficiency to distant learning, but the one thing that I feel is lacking is the fellowship of other students in your program. I learn so much from just interacting with one another, that sometimes, just responding to a blog, like I am now, is so much impersonal, then say, face-to-face. What do you think ?
