Psychological Foundations of Instructional Design
This project combined knowledge on learning theories and models within the instructional design field as well as design work. The scope of the project had us start with creating individual posters of four different instructional design models (shown below) over a two week period. The project then asked us to combine these posters in a fun and engaging way with information regarding learning theories that apply to instructional design. I chose to combine the posters and information using an interactive PDF.
The below video is a quick overview of the completion of the project - an interactive PDF.

This project presented its own challenges as it was the first time that I planned and executed an interactive infographic using my own initial vision and design elements. I wanted the project to be accessible to learners of all ages, while also maintaining a professional tone. It was important to me to provide detail on each theory and model, but keeping in mind the attention span of the audience and avoid excessive cognitive load.
The above screenshot shows the entire infographic.
Below are the final iterations of the posters that were completed over two weeks of execution and feedback on the four main models of instructional design: ADDIE, SAM, Gradual Release, and Rapid Prototyping.
Each poster went through a number of edits prior to finalization. The posters were created using Piktochart, but the major design elements (such as the circle and puzzle pieces) were created in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
