Instructional Design at OLI
Instructional design is a critical discipline integrating theories and practices from education, psychology, and communication to enhance learning experiences.
In a medical school setting, instructional designers collaborate closely with subject matter experts, such as instructors and clinicians, to develop and implement effective teaching strategies and assessment tools. While instructors contribute extensive content knowledge and clinical expertise, instructional designers bring specialized skills to create engaging and efficient educational experiences. They offer advice on best practices, select appropriate tools, and design instructional methods to ensure that learning objectives and target outcomes are met effectively. This partnership ensures that medical education is both comprehensive and effective, ultimately leading to better-prepared healthcare professionals.
