Course Description (for SIS)

Most instructional designers end up designing solutions to human performance gaps that vary in nature or cause – not all are due to lack of knowledge or skills and therefore instructional solutions are not always optimal or can fail to impact performance.  In this class, we will learn how to conduct a gap analysis to identify an actual performance problem, conduct a root cause analysis in conjunction with a needs assessment to determine the specific barriers and causes, develop solutions or interventions designed to improve the identified performance gaps, and develop a robust evaluation plan to determine if the intervention works.  This skill set is commonly used in corporate, government, health, military, and non-profit industries and is growing in application in K-12.
