Very clear course, provides definitions and/or discussion of terms that at are useful for a clearer understanding of the ID process. Good continuity between topics and good use of diagrams.

As introduction to the instructional design subject It is an excellent course, i strongly recommend it for the beginners, but it is better to add new module to clarify how we should transfer from the ANALYSIS stage to the DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT stages.

An eye opener, to be terse. Learnt much in a relatively short period. Optimally designed. Perhaps discussions on more real life situations and solutions will make the course even more memorable. Great work by the whole team though.

This course is very good for starting with the basics of Instructional Designing. To know what does ID mean, what kind of job do they need to do. It will provide all the theory/principle/models regarding the Instructional Design.

Interesting and useful course. I liked the way many instructors were involved and presented the lectures, and some practitioners shared their expereinces.

The language is comprehensible and accessible. The tasks are tough.

Gostei muito do curso, para quem deseja uma introdução sobre conceitos, modelos e processos é um ótimo começo. Funcionou como um verdadeiro "trampolim" para outros saberes dentro do tema. Vale a pena! Recomendo!
