Best Practices in Instructional Design
A Framework of Strategies
Our goal is to identify the best practices in
our instructional design by evaluating current
course procedures and curriculum.
• Based on Badrul Khan’s E-Learning Framework (2001)
• Badrul, started the e-Learning Framework because he asked the question:
“What does it take to provide the best and most meaningful, flexible learning environments for learners worldwide?”

maintaining a consistent presentation?• Is effort made to make the instructional format
motivational to the learner?
