Abstract
The learner-centered instructional design model redefines the standard linear instructional design model to form a circular model where the learner’s needs are the first item considered in the development of instruction. The purpose of this modified Delphi study was to have a panel of experts in the instructional design field review the learner-centered instructional design model and determine if the model is perceived as potentially effective and potentially useful instructional systems design model for postsecondary environments and to what extent it is perceived to meet the needs of the of learners. The overall findings indicated the model is potentially effective and a potentially useful instructional design model.

    To be learner centred requires a knowledge of the learners, therefore the first stage of the teaching cycle, identifying needs, is used to ensure you have the information to plan successfully. It has to be remembered that the class is made up of a group of individuals and there lies the first challenge: the group and the individuals.…

    As you may have recently seen/heard, the war started and lasted abruptly, the bomb has obliterated the entire city of St. Louis. And I am sure you have heard of the fireman that made our town famous. Yes, the one about Sir Guy Montag, how the “fireman” had to burn his own house down for having books in his home. The rare thing about that incident was what happened after his house was burned. He burned a man and killed the other two firemen. That was the thing that set me slim. The talk in this district is mad. You almost can bet what it’s about. It is either about the fireman who set the world on fire or the bomb that hurt everyone. The survivors are going insane! There is no order in this chaos we call a town! And I, as Captain Beatty’s replacement, have a few simple proposals as in how to restore the peace to this mad house I call home. There will be no more book burnings for this town. Not only will the books be kept safe, but they will be cherished. First off, I am going to make an organization called Books for Homes. Everyone will help restore the homes that were destroyed in the horrible tragedy. Each home and family will have one book. Everyone in the household will remember that one book and have it passed down to their family and so on and so on. Everyone will have a shred of knowledge of the past and will have some type of understanding of the times before. Secondly, there will be a town cleanup for a week. Our town was already dead before the bomb; it passed away from lack of knowledge and the truth. The bomb just got rid of the carcass of the town like a vulture on a dead body. I will help this town resurrect from the ashes of what once was to what it could be. Next everyone in the town will have a food drive to help feed the families that lost everything. This town will make a complete 360 ° flip. Everyone will have to act as one and unit to make the change. It takes one step to cross the…

    For years I created training courses. There were some that worked well, and some that needed extensive rewrite. What made the difference? Trial and error usually came up with a workable solution, but the "trial and error" approach was costly in terms of time and resources. Sometimes the request for a training program that was unique or different came without a lot of notice. This created a need for a quick program design. Usually this "quick" approach ended up with an end result that was less than positive.…
