Systematic Curriculum and Instructional Design Virtual (SCID) Institute

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 Institute 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, on-the-job training (OJT) manuals, and performance assessments. Individual work and group instruction are supplemented with instructor 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 a coaching session with institute team-leaders.
