Hello Friends,

Welcome to the July ’07 edition of Wavelength’s Instructional Design Newsletter.

This month Delhi welcomed a long-awaited guest…the Monsoon! The plants are now turning over many new leaves each day. They look fresh and vibrant dressed in the lush green that twinkles with the raindrops sewn upon them. With such newness all around, Wavelength can’t resist its urge to bring you something fresh and new!

Here’s some cool news from Wavelength!

Wavelength launches the much-awaited ID course exclusively for the senior professionals of the industry -The IDSP Online (Instructional Design for Senior Professionals Certificate course.)

The details of this course are available at: http://www.vibrantwavelength.com/idsp_online.htm but here is a synopsis for your convenience. This course is a 2-month course, which shall be implemented online (the way IDCWC Online is) and it should interest all those professionals who are currently working as:

• Senior/Training Managers
• Senior/eLearning Project Managers
• Instructional Design Reviewers/Analysts
• Senior Trainers
• Sales/Marketing Managers
• Lecturers/Readers/Professors

It is important that you have more than 4 years of experience in any of the following areas:

1. eLearning
2. Training
3. Education

This course is designed to address your need to learn instructional design, analyze instructional design problems in relation to your work, and come up with instructionally sound solutions within moments. It assumes that you have ample experience to evaluate and map the instructional design concepts to your work, and that you have moved beyond designing courses and writing scripts personally.

The first session of IDSP Online shall begin on November 01, 2007 and end on December 31, 2007. If this course interests you, write to us at idsponline[at]vibrantwavelength[dot]com .

About the Mystery of the Month article for this beautiful month: we shall discuss the mystery of our likes and dislikes…and even beyond this, we shall discuss the mystery of mapping content to the likes and dislikes of a culturally diverse audience. The article, “Culture Considerations for a Diverse Audience” discusses the various factors that can influence content creation for a diverse audience (The Indian audience is probably the epitome of diversity.)

I now bring you news of the workshops that Wavelength plans to conduct in the months of August and September.

The August Workshops:
