Instructional Design
Education happens through experience or we can say learning happens through experience. For an instructional designer creating an environment, which enriches this experience, is the job on hand. This environment can be created by information organisation and structuring. Earlier this could be experienced through print media but with the emergence of New Media the experience of learning can be enriched and made more realistic, interactive, interesting and comprehensive.

The Project
The pedagogical approach followed by me to prepare the Golf Tutorial changes from Behaviouristic to Cognitivistic.
In a Behaviouristic approach the information is delivered and the response of the learner is assessed based on how much they have been able to grasp by testing them. It is based on repeating what has been delivered to assure strengthening. Direct instruction is one of the behaviouristic approaches in which linear and branch tutorials are prepared. In branch tutorials the pattern of delivery of information is changed according to the understanding level of the learner.
The behaviouristic approach changes to Cognitivistic approach in the tutorial. In cognitive apprenticeship model the experts stress on the way the information is organised in the mind of learner. There is no set pattern. The learner observes and then performs it in his own way. The idea is to deliver information, which can be interpreted by the learner in his own way yet not forgetting the theme of the subject. This kind of model is effective where the user or the learner has a certain motivation level and participates with interest.
