    Six Instructional Design Tips for Learner Engagement

    With the proliferation of technology used in distance learning

    it is important for the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) to clarify how its ANSI/IACET 1-2013 standard apply to instructional design and delivery in distance learning and hybrid environments. Questions naturally arise about how the standard applies to the role of the instructor

    assessment

    and interactivity; however

    depending on the organization’s distance learning approach

    the answers to these questions could be very different. This guide is designed to provide Continuing Education and Training (CE/T) providers assistance on how the ANSI/IACET 1-2013 Standard for Continuing Education and Training applies to distance learning.
