The information you provided on the basic starting point for instructional design will be quit helpful as I begin my career as an Instructional Designer. I am a firm believer of keeping in it simple. I like the way you related the information to what is already familiar. The Who, What, Where, How and Why technique is used during adolescent years and is definitely something familiar to me and is a technique that I currently use today. With that being said, with all the information I am learning about instructional design, this technique is something I will remember.
Thanks.

There are several options available to you. Become well versed in the language and process of design. You can become a certified Instructional Designer/Developer through Langevin. A classic book to read is Training for Impact but there are other good references also. Once you have gained the knowledge and skill, practice designing. You can volunteer to help create something for your church, community group, school district, etc.

I think you will find instructional desgin one of the most challenging and rewarding things to do.

I am a maths high school teacher and I would like to become an instructional system designer.
Apart from gaining a Master degree, what other route can I go through in becoming an instructional system designer?

Kristen,

I am glad you find the blogs helpful. You are correct, there is a lot of information published and discussed about training and design. Sometimes it is great to take a sip of water from a glass rather than take a gulp from a fire hose.

Good luck in school. Thank you for responding and keep on reading our blogs.

I am currently studying for my Master’s in Instructional Design & Technology with a concentration in Training & Perform Improvement.
While working on an assignment I came across your website/blog. I am overwelmed with the information and advice on here. I always tend to forget that sometimes getting back to basics is where you should start with so many things in life. We all learned in our early years of education that it is all about the “Who, What, When, Where, & Why”. This “Who, What, How, What, and Why” follow the same principle.
Thank you for your site and your informative advice.
