IDCWC - Contact Course Participants' Views...

"Thanks to you for nurturing and enriching me. Thanks to IDCWC course. The most indulging course of my life till date. A unique course, which not only taught ID, but also was designed on a structure based on sound ID principles. The application level was alone reached without any materials. The talk by the course mentor was always so engaging that we were able to connect the theories and models of ID with our concept assignments instantly to gradually reach our goal-- the course project.

A superb course indeed!”
Saroni Dutta,

"The ‘IDCWC’ course is an end-to-end solution course that ensures thorough comprehension of theories and their application. It bought out in me an enriching ‘Creative and Logical Blend’ of ‘Designing Content and Writing Content’ to enhance learning to its fullest.

It was indeed a great privilege to earn Honors at Wavelength. Though the learning process and practice was ‘intense’, it challenged me to expand my horizon beyond treating Instructional Design merely as a way to create training manuals. ”

It was really a different experience that enhanced my creativity, and filled my mind with new ideas.Thanks for your guidence.
