Instructional design is about intentionally designing learning experiences through a systematic process. It draws from learning sciences and models to understand the problem and create a unique solution for each course using a logical and creative approach. The goal is to take convoluted content and turn it into an ordered, narrative-driven learning path through alignment of objectives, assessment, and technology to solve the identified problem.
