7 Instructional Design (Idesign) used by educators with goals and objectives. will tell technology needed to purchase or license Instructional design directs development stage, budget, etc Determined by planning design ahead prevents common failures associated with usage.

8 Instructional Design Do not put too much into one session particular attention to each learner’s context level helps prevent common failures associated with usage (Horton, 2012)
