At Web Courseworks, technology is the final complement to meticulous, pedagogically-sound instructional design process. In every instance, design, copy, and content decisions are made by qualified eLearning instructional designers working closely with subject matter experts.
Once the instructional design process is complete, Flash developers and graphic illustrators do only what they do best: bring these designs to technological fruition. The resulting products are far more than impressive technological objects: from an educational standpoint, they work.
Many eLearning design firms ascribe to an instructional design model such as ADDIE. While these theoretical instructional design models impress clients, they often incorporate the production process into the instructional design process—a mistake, since a detailed instructional design process recommends different production methodology for differing client needs.
