An instructional team spends most of its time designing and planning (not developing) an online training or eLearning application. Although this book covers the development of online learning applications, this chapter introduces you to instructional concepts and instructional design. Because all the instructional phases are interdependent, it’s important that you are familiar with and have respect for the phases that others carry out. The success of your instructional project requires attention to more than just the development phase, the main subject of this book.
