Instructional Design Foundations and Applications

I highly recommend this course for those who are interested in pursuing a career in instructional design.

The assignments were designed really well, giving us the sneak peek into what a instructional designer would do.

I find that the content of this course is relevant to the career and it does, in fact, gives the audience a good idea of what to expect from a career as Instructional Designer.

This course gave me very useful insights into the world of instructional design.

Although I am not an Instructional Designer, I am involved extensively in the activities of the Analysis phase to plan training programs in the organization I work with.

I am now very sure that I would like to specialize in the field of Instructional Design and this course is an absolute first step in my journey.A huge thanks to University of Illinois and Coursera for designing such insightful programs.

Insightful as a good foundation to Instructional Design Overall i will rate the course 3.5 out of 5.

Even the useful information is merely statements without examples of how to incorporate it into your daily instructional design.

I found this, my first course in instructional design (ID), doable after many hours of reading, listening to videos, googling, and You-Tubing (and repeating).

The presentation style of some of the presenters was incredibly monotonous, the visual style was at the cost of clarity and retention, the content was repeated across each week, the MCQs were an absolute horror show, scavenging for answers that didn't exist rather than actually learning...the irony of an instructional design course being this badly designed is outrageous!
