What is Instructional Design and Technology?
With insights drawn from Reiser's work (Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology), my team and I developed this definition: Instructional design and technology is a field of study and practice that identifies learning and performance challenges; it encourages designers to utilize methods such as analyzing data, designing and developing content, and implementing and assessing the effectiveness of the course; and is applied in settings such as educational institutions and workplaces.
