Two major disciplines underlie instructional design – systems design and learning theory. In this course, you will be introduced to systems in general, educational systems in particular, and systems analysis. You will also be introduced to a broad range of learning theories and explore the role they play in instructional design. The contributions of various areas of psychology, including behaviourism and cognitive psychology, will be explored, culminating in an examination of instructional systems design and constructivist models of instruction.
