Instructional Systems Design

Instructional Systems Design (ISD) is a process to ensure learning does not occur in a haphazard manner, but is developed using a process with specific measurable outcomes. The responsibility of the instructional designer is to create an instructional experience, which ensures that the learners will achieve the goals of instruction. ISD is a complex process that is creative, active and iterative. One of the basic principles of instructional design, initially proposed by Robert Gagne in 1965, is that different learning outcomes (the learning of verbal information, concepts, procedures, rules, problem solving, etc.) require different learning conditions.
