Systematic Curriculum and Instructional Design (SCID) Workshops

Dates for 2024 SCID Workshop

The SCID Institute will launch in an online format in 2025.

About this Learning Experience

Our SCID institute is a follow-on program to the Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) training. It picks up where DACUM leaves off and teaches you how to develop components of a competency-based training program. Participation in the DACUM training is a prerequisite.

Participants will acquire the knowledge and skills to be able to verify and prioritize tasks and develop competency-based instructional materials such as task analysis, scope and sequence document, on-the-job training (OJT) manual, and performance assessments. Individual work and group instruction are supplemented with instructor coaching and feedback to make it a truly hands-on learning experience.

Timeline
Approximately 40 hours of instruction over an 8-week timeframe

Format
This online institute includes asynchronous (does not take place in real-time), self-paced learning experiences available 24/7 as well as several synchronous meetings at intervals throughout the 8-week institute. You will engage with self-knowledge checks, videos, discussion forums, synchronous meetings with fellow participants, and coaching sessions with institute team-leaders.

Included in this learning experience

Instruction on the activities involved in the analysis phase of program development including procedures for training needs assessment, task analysis, and task verification and prioritization
Small-group interaction and hands-on activities including guidance on identifying existing resources, determining training modality, and developing assessment techniques
Practical application of the SCID methodology to develop the primary elements of competency-based instructional resources, including learning objectives, performance measures, instructional media, and OJT manuals

“The examples, instructor feedback and the hands-on activities such as completing a task analysis, developing learning objectives and learning guides this course provided was very beneficial to me. I am very glad to have participated. I learned a lot from this training.”
