Department of Educational Technology is proudly announcing its First Online Course in Instructional Design.
It is observed that the process of learning in twenty-first century is gearing toward Open and Distance learning. Immense and fast track development in Information Technology has made it easier to fulfill this movement. Many Universities and Educational Organizations are offering online courses and programs. This has led to the need for Instructional Designers who will plan online instruction in the most effective and efficient way.
Department of Educational Technology offers a full-fledged two-year Master Program in Instructional Design (Master in Educational Technology-Computer Applications) for the last 7 years. SNDT Women’s University is the only University in India offering such a Master level program.
Our experience in this field has prompted us to offer this Online Course in Instructional Design. The planned 4-credit course in Instructional Design is a stand-alone course which aims at providing overview of ID and skills of preparing an Instructional Design and story board.
Department plans to continue offering 16 more courses of 4-credits in various areas of Instructional Design. These courses will lead to Diploma in Instructional Design (with 24 credits), Advance Diploma in Instructional Design (32 credits) and Master in Instructional Design (64 credits, only to graduate women participants).
The course aims at strengthening the skills of Instructional Designing of those who are already working as Instructional Designers, and at preparing others to enter into the e-learning industries as Instructional Designer. There is a very heavy demand for Instructional designers not only in India but world wide.
