Instructional design is the process of developing effective and efficient learning experiences through research and theory. It focuses on learning outcomes rather than technology. The instructional designer analyzes learning needs and designs a system to deliver required instruction. Instructional design bridges the gap between education and technology to ensure concepts are properly designed for e-learning platforms. It involves continuous assessment and is based on research in cognition, education psychology, and problem solving. The goal is to organize resources to enhance learning and meet student needs through engaging presentation and interaction.
