1.Determine projects that are appropriate for instructional design.
2.Conduct a needs assessment.
3.Assess the relevant characteristics of learners-trainees.
4.Analyze the characteristics of a setting.
5.Perform job, task, and/or content analysis.
6.Write statements of performance objectives.
7.Develop the performance measures.
8.Sequence the performance objectives.
9.Specify the instructional strategies.
10.Design the instructional materials.
11.Evaluate the instruction/training.
