Because the ISD process defines the relationship of these components to each other through the task hierarchy, the individual software objects can be applied and assigned in endless configurations to meet learning needs. ISD and learning objects work together to create the TKM infrastructure. Adding the ability to dynamically configure these learning objects in tailored training that meets the unique needs of every learner creates the breakthrough outcomes that can only be achieved using the integrated TKM system.
Instructional design is systematic.
ISD is characterized by an orderly process for gathering and analyzing collective and individual performance requirements, and by the ability to respond to specific training needs. The process is cyclical, thereby allowing the instructional product to continually be evaluated and improved.
