Conclusions

Instructional design has been around for many decades now, and it has proven to be effective when planning training courses of all kinds.

Knowing how it all relates, and what is the importance of instructional design, we can understand better how to use it, although its process might seem too long or tiring sometimes, it is for the best. Skipping a step would create serious issues when the course is on its way, and learners might not get to the goal.
