Definition of Information/Instructional design

Information/Instructional design is the analysis of learning needs and systematic development of instruction. Instructional designers to develop instruction often use instructional technology or educational technology. A method is typically specified by Instructional design models, that if followed will ease the transfer of knowledge, skills and attitude to the recipient of the instruction.

A common error by many instructional designers is to remove important information in hope to simplify the content. However this leaves learners in a state of confusion and lack of understanding questioning, "Why am I learning this?” The solution is to present content in a simpler way, not remove the more relavant complicated information. This is the art of good instructional design. When deciding what to leave out, it is essential to consider what content, when removed, will not harm the backbone of the learning.
