IDCWC - Contact Course Participants' Views...

"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. ”
Payal Gandhil,
Deputy Manager(Trg),

"Eight weeks of the IDCWC course were a wonderful experience as it was all practical applications and not just theory. I realised that though unconsciously, I was using ID concepts, but after completing the course I can now put a proper perspective to it in courseware design.”

"Wavelength’s IDCWC course is in itself, a sterling example of how Instructional Design should be applied for imparting learning.

Far from being served as dry concepts, the theories and models of Instructional Design leap out from the pages of books and come alive at Wavelength. ID permeates every aspect of the IDCWC course. They don’t just teach the principles of adult learning, they actively apply them. ..(Read Complete View-New Window) ”
