Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to design conditions for learning
by applying principles of instructional systems design, message design, instructional strategies,
and learner characteristics.

importance of process, as opposed to product, is emphasized in ISD.
1.1.1 Analyzing: process of defining what is to be learned and the context in which it is
to be learned.
1.1.2 Designing: process of specifying how it is to be learned.
1.1.3 Developing: process of authoring and producing the instructional materials.

and retention which are intended to communicate with the learner. This sub-domain

interactions are often described by instructional models. The appropriate selection of instructional
strategies and instructional models depends upon the learning situation (including learner
characteristics), the nature of the content, and the type of learner objective.
implementation of instructional strategies. For example, motivation research influences the
selection and implementation of instructional strategies based upon identified learner
characteristics. Learner characteristics interact with instructional strategies, the learning situation,
and the nature of the content.
Standard 2: DEVELOPMENT
Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to develop instructional materials
and experiences using print, audiovisual, computer-based, and integrated technologies.

the development and utilization of the majority of other instructional materials.

computer-managed instruction (CMI), telecommunications, electronic communications, and global
resource/reference access.

and graphic environments. Examples include hypermedia authoring and telecommunications
tools such as electronic mail and the World Wide Web.
Standard 3: UTILIZATION
Candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to use processes and resources
for learning by applying principles and theories of media utilization, diffusion, implementation, and
policy-making.

and retention which are intended to communicate with the learner. This sub-domain
is specific to both the medium selected and the learning task.
- 1.3 Instructional Strategies - Instructional Software Presentation
interactions are often described by instructional models. The appropriate selection of instructional
strategies and instructional models depends upon the learning situation (including learner
characteristics), the nature of the content, and the type of learner objective.
- 1.4 Learner Characteristics - Adaptive/Assistive Technology Presentation
implementation of instructional strategies. For example, motivation research influences the
selection and implementation of instructional strategies based upon identified learner
characteristics. Learner characteristics interact with instructional strategies, the learning situation,
and the nature of the content.
Standard 2: DEVELOPMENT
