Instructional Creative Story

This was a personal project, and it came about when I realized how divisive instructional models can be within a group of instructional designers.

To personify the models and look at the instructional design process in a different manner.

This was geared for instructional designers, who are most familiar with the different models.

Pick out the top models and write a creative story around them. Have fun. Put a different spin on the models.

Microsoft products were used to create wordage and send communications.

Graphics were created in Adobe Photoshop.

The magazine-style story was created using Adobe InDesign.

The results were exported into Adobe Acrobat, made 508 compliant, and then exported as a PDF.

My only evaluation method for this was a simple “smile sheet” for myself.

Instructional Designers should learn the models. They would then realize how the same processes are involved in most of them.

The first example was the banner for the course.

A few pages from the creative magazine spread.
