Instructional Design System (IDS) Overview

ID, is a systematic process of planning and producing effective instructional materials to ensure learners achieve established learning outcomes. ID is a framework for learning which is based on theoretical and practical research in the areas of cognition, educational psychology, and problem solving.

E-Learning is the marriage of technology and education, and most often, the instructional designer's greatest role is that of "bridging" concepts between the two worlds. This vital role ensures that a subject matter expert's concepts are properly developed by graphic designers and programmers. " George Siemens"

The IDS is provided by NELC to the University community to guide the subject matter experts when planning and authoring their courses to be developed as electronic courses.
