Topic of Speech: The Foundations of Instructional Design & Technology
Instructional design and technology (IDT) is an established profession and an area of study. As a profession, it consists of a series of well-defined competencies, and an active group of practitioners who work in increasingly complex environments. As an area of study, it has a rich and growing foundation of research and theory viewed from increasingly diverse points of view. IDT relies upon theories and models from other disciplines as well as those which have evolved from our own history. As such, the IDT knowledge base is multi-disciplinary in nature. This session will focus on the foundations of the IDT. A wide range of theoretical and conceptual foundations that currently shape the field will be discussed including general systems, communication, media learning, instruction, and performance improvement.
