The CORE framework for instructional design stands on four essential pillars: Concise, Organized, Relevant, and Engaging. This philosophy places the student at the center of the educational experience, emphasizing a high commitment to quality and a profound respect for the learner's time and resources. Viewing the learner's time as currency they choose to spend on our content, we aim to maximize the return on their investment by ensuring an exceptional user experience. This approach integrates principles from universal design, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), trauma-informed teaching.
Conciseness in instructional design means delivering content that is clear, to the point, and devoid of unnecessary complexity or redundancy. It prioritizes the essential information that learners need to achieve their educational goals.
Organization refers to structuring content in a logical, coherent manner that efficiently guides learners through the material. It involves clear sequencing, categorization, and systematic presentation of information.
Relevance ensures that the content is directly applicable to the learners’ needs, goals, and real-world applications. It involves providing material that is meaningful and beneficial to the students' academic and professional lives while strictly adhering to learning objectives.
Engagement involves capturing and maintaining the learners’ interest and motivation throughout the learning process. It encompasses interactive elements, multimedia, and varied instructional strategies to create a dynamic and stimulating learning environment.
At the heart of the CORE framework is a steadfast commitment to quality and a deep respect for the learner. This involves recognizing and valuing the significant time and resource investment made by students. By viewing their time as currency, we acknowledge that learners are choosing to spend their valuable time with our content, and it is our responsibility to ensure they receive maximum value in return.
