Abstract

     Instructional Design (ID) is a systematic approach to creating effective learning systems closely tied to instructional technology. Popular systematic models of Instructional Design include Gagne's nine events of instruction, introduced in 1961, and five tasks from comprehensive learning frameworks. These models combine teaching approaches with learning theories to enhance learner development and achieve desired learning outcomes.
     Effective Instructional Design incorporates thematic analysis to address factors contributing to a practical e-learning experience. Well-crafted instructional designs can stimulate learners' cognitive structures, making learning more effective. Both instructors and instructional designers need to understand the demands of the instructional design process. Quality learning experiences result in achievements encompassing knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
