Several models of instructional design exist. One of the most famous is
Dick and Carey's Model for designing
instruction.
In this diagram, each component focuses on one aspect of the design
process.
However, note that the steps can be developed concurrent with each
other. In the Kemp Model, the
process allows for a designer
to begin just about anywhere, because all of the steps are intertwined.

No matter which model
you ascribe to,
common to all instructional design models – whether for a
traditionally taught class or a distance education course –
are the following questions that must be answered:
- For whom is the program being developed? (nature
of the learners)
- What do you want the individual to learn
or be able to do? (objectives)
- How is the subject content or skills best
learned? (teaching/learning methods and activities with resources)
- How do you determine the extent to which the learning has been achieved? (evaluation)
As has been noted, instructional design models have common components.
The
processes we will discuss on this trip are based on the following
questions:
- What is the need for the educational program?
- What are the goals and objectives?
- Who will be the learners?
- What will be the subject content (message)?
- What teaching methods and technology (media) will be used?
- How will learners be assessed and how will a course or lesson's instructional design be evaluated and improved?
