WHY APPLY INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN TO E-LEARNING?
In e-learning the focus is entirely on
the learner. learning material must be
presented efficiently and provide clear
explanations to minimize the
intervention of an instructor
Focus is on the process of learning
rather than teaching;
it is important to know how the
learner will learn, to design a course that will cater to
the abilities of the learner

Good design is possible if instructional design (ID) principles are applied to
e-learning
