Write an instructional design document for this case study: 

Following a learner-centric approach, this design process is focused on creating an engaging, effective, and efficient learning experience for the learners on Landa.

Step 1: Analyzing the course content
Upon receiving the course content, the first step will involve reviewing and understanding the program’s learning objectives, target audience, and overall structure. Tools like Microsoft Word/Google Docs for reviewing and editing documents, collaboration and communication tools such as email, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams for discussions and clarifications.

Step 2: Collaborating with the partner university’s Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
Before designing any learning materials, collaborate with the SMEs to discuss and clarify any questions, concerns, or ambiguities in the content. We would share files on Google drive or Dropbox.

Step 3: Creating a detailed instructional design plan
Define a clear and well-structured instructional design plan by outlining learning objectives, course structure, content outline, and multimedia elements on Microsoft Word/Google Docs, Microsoft Excel/Google Sheets. This plan will serve as a roadmap for the entire design process. Project management tools like Trello can be very useful

Step 4: Selecting an instructional design model
Choose an appropriate instructional design model such as ADDIE, SAM, Agile and Rapid Prototyping, to guide the development process.

Step 5: Designing the learning experience
With a solid instructional design plan and model in place, then proceed to design the course materials, using authoring tools  like Adobe Captivate and design tools like Canva, following the provided content, learning objectives, and Landa’s unique learning approach of combining self-paced and activity-based learning experiences.



Step 6: Developing course materials
Create the learning materials by developing multimedia elements (videos, audios, charts.), interactive modules, and assessments. I’ll also work with Voice- Over talents, where needed, and incorporate necessary accessibility features for an inclusive learning experience.

Step 7: Reviewing and testing the course materials
Collaborate with partner university SMEs to review the developed course materials, via Video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, ensuring that the content, activities, and assessments are accurate, effective, and relevant. Conduct usability testing and incorporate feedback for continuous improvement.

Step 8: Finalizing and publishing the course
After addressing any feedback and applying necessary revisions, finalize the course materials and publish them to Landa’s learning management system (LMS) which could either be an Open source LMS(Canvas, Moodle), Cloud based (360 learning, Adobe Captivate) or Custom built.

Step 9: Launching the course and promoting engagement
Prepare for the course launch by creating awareness among learners on their school forums, discussion boards, and social media platforms for promotional purposes and providing resources to support their engagement in the learning experience. Monitor learner activity, provide assistance when needed, and foster a sense of community.

Step 10: Evaluating course effectiveness and iterating
After the course has been delivered, gather data on the learners’ performance, satisfaction, and overall experience. LMS reports and analytics, learner feedback surveys, and data analysis tools like Microsoft Excel or Google.
Use this data to evaluate the course effectiveness and make any necessary revisions to improve future course iterations.
