Instructional Design Philosophy: CORE

 

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.

Commitment to Quality and Respect for the Learner

 

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.

High Commitment to Quality:

  • Continuous Improvement: Regularly review and update content based on feedback and new developments in the field.
  • Expert Involvement: Collaborate with subject matter experts to ensure accuracy and depth of content.
  • Feedback Mechanisms: Implement robust feedback systems to identify areas for enhancement and address learner concerns promptly.
  • Efficiency: Design learning experiences that are time-efficient, minimizing unnecessary time expenditure while maximizing learning outcomes.

Respect for Learner’s Time:

  • Accessibility: Ensure content is easily accessible across various devices and formats, allowing learners to engage with the material at their convenience.
  • Support: Provide ample support resources, such as help desks, discussion forums, and supplementary materials, to assist learners in their journey.
  • DEIB and Trauma-Informed Support: Offer resources and support that address the diverse needs of learners, including those who may have experienced trauma.

By employing the CORE framework, we create an educational environment that is highly sensitive to the user experience. This approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also fosters a positive, respectful, and enriching educational experience for all students.
