Instructional Design Document—Detailed Outline

V. Instructional Design Team

Explanation:

  • Lead Instructional Designer (primary instructor)
  • Other Instructional Designers (other instructors)
  • Subject-Matter Expert(s) (SME)
  • Illustrator(s)
  • Testers:
    • Student Testers
      • At least 2 student testers; no more than 5
    • A SME Tester, other than the one that is on the Design Team
    • OED Tester
      • Tj Lane
  • Editor (I suggest using an editor that is familiar with editing on-line documents as they will have some good input on usability from the user's perspective.)
  • Final Course Q/A Check
    • OED (Tj) and two OED Regional Employee Development Liaisons
    • SME. Find another SME that hasn't been involved with the design or testing of this course. It helps to have fresh eyes look at the course.
