Effective Course Design Process Guide

The document outlines the key steps in the course design process, which includes identifying instructional goals, selecting content and methods to achieve those goals, and assessing participant learning against the goals. It also notes that instructors should consider their own teaching style and participant learning styles. The design process involves decisions about content, delivery methods, time allocation, and assessment tools, which mostly need to be made before training begins. During training, the course design may be adjusted based on insights about participants' needs. Evaluation after training helps assess effectiveness and improve future sessions.

The Course Design Process1

Course design refers to the planning and structuring of a course to achieve specific
instructional goals. The course design process includes the following activities:
 Identifying appropriate goals
 Choosing content that's consistent with the goals
 Selecting ways to achieve the goals
 Assessing participant learning in relation to the goals

As part of the design process, instructors should also consider:


 Their own teaching style
 The learning styles of the participants
 The role of the course in the overall training effort

Before training begins


Most design decisions must be made before you step into the classroom. These
decisions relate to these basic areas:
 The content to include
 The delivery methods to use
 The time allocated for each of the goals
 The tools for assessing participant learning

During the training session


As you conduct the training, you'll learn more about the participants and their needs.
This information may lead you to make adjustments in the course design. For example,
after working with the group, you may decide to
 Change the time allocation for a particular topic.
 Change the type of activity associated with a particular topic, for instance, from
an individual to a group activity or vice versa.

At the conclusion of the session


The information you gather at the conclusion of a training session will help you assess
the effectiveness of the current training and help you improve future training sessions.
To evaluate the course:
 Use appropriate evaluation tools and your own perceptions.
