This instructional series provides a rigorous introduction to the fundamental principles of instructional design, structured around M. David Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction. Designed for aspiring instructional designers, educators, and corporate trainers, the collection explores the intersection of learning theory and systematic design to create effective, efficient, and engaging educational experiences. The curriculum deconstructs the essential phases of the instructional process, centering on problem-centered learning. Throughout these modules, learners will examine the critical roles of activation, demonstration, application, and integration in facilitating knowledge acquisition. By grounding contemporary design strategies in validated instructional frameworks, the series translates complex theoretical concepts into actionable methodologies for the modern classroom or online environment. As a high-level overview, these films serve as a foundational resource for those navigating the ADDIE model, backward design, and universal design for learning. The series emphasizes the importance of task-centered instruction and the psychological underpinnings of how adults learn, ensuring that practitioners can justify their design decisions with empirical evidence. This collection is an essential component of the Dr. Tim’s Corner archive for those seeking to master the core competencies of the field.
