Overview
The design of training courses and materials is based on the results obtained during Analysis. Course goals and objectives, structure, and content are created, using a design strategy which considers the following components:
- Learning taxonomy
- Structure
- Learning sequence
- Progression
- Learner pacing
- Learner participation/interactivity
- Content presentation
- Learner feedback
- Supplemental information
The next step is creating the instructional strategy, which is also informed by the results of the earlier analyses.
Course Design Document (CDD)
The purpose of the CDD) is to serve as the blueprint for developing the course materials. It provides a skeleton of the course content, as well as documents that establish expectations. The CDD finalizes the course goals and learning objectives and establishes the course instructional and assessment strategies. The CDD also includes design and development standards and guidelines, as well as technical standards, for production and delivery appropriate for the selected training delivery solution.
Resource:
Please see the Course Design Document (CDD) templates (select either Instructor-led or Web-based) in the Templates section of the Training Resource and Center (TRDC). The completed CDD requires review and approval by the NTED/TPP PM to continue development of the course.
