IDCWC Online Course Details...

" Prior to this course, I had taken few online courses, but those were very short 1-2 hr courses. This was the first elaborate online learning experience and needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the progressive journey. The course is perfectly designed and structured with modules containing the apt assignments, quizzes etc. But the need to complete the modules within the stipulated time made it really effective and different. The discussion forums were the most useful for me, I learnt not only from the facilitator but also from my fellow participants. I would like to thank Shafali for directing us perfectly through every stage of the course.
Thanks Wavelength! "

Shreedevi R. Kuttan, Trainer & Instructional Designer, Accenture, Bangalore

" I am delighted I took the IDCWC online course and it is, I think, a perfect example of a very well-structured online course. Students were given very clear guidance regarding the course content, evaluation etc.

To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be that intensive when I registered. There is indeed a lot of material to cover in three months and it is challenging. But I feel I have learned a lot and would certainly recommend it to anybody interested in Instructional Design."

Dr. Veronique Gauthier, Editor, Authentik Ltd., Dublin, Ireland.

" The course was a delight and the best learning experience I’ve ever had. It was well delivered and the course activities were conducted very professionally. The course gave me a good grasp over ID concepts and their practical application in the industry. I took up this course as I want to make a career in the elearning industry and the knowledge gained through this course gives me the confidence.

I thank Wavelength for providing such a wonderful course."

Sangeeta Srinivasan, Associate, Wipro BPO , Pune.

"Kudos to the Wavelength team for presenting an extremely well-designed and informative course. Probably for the first time in my life, I actually enjoyed a learning experience and looked forward to learn more. I had designed e-learning courses earlier, however, had no formal training in Instructional Designing. I cannot express in words how much richer I have become in terms of knowledge gained through this course. The interactivity and multimedia used in the course is marvellous. I, particularly, liked the assessment methodology used, as it ensured learning by me. I would like to thank Shafali for her guidance and support throughout the course. I simply cannot wait to recommend this course to my colleagues”

Monalisa Guru, Learning & Knowledge Specialist, Accenture, Bangalore

"I would like to thank the entire Wavelength Team for the continuous support and tireless contribution in guiding me all the way through. It has indeed been a real time learning experience for me. Being a complete layman about an online course, this course has actually introduced me to the world of e-learning, an evolving technology in the corporate sector. Throughout the course, I could not only improve my writing skills, but also enhance my knowledge with the varied ID theories and their practical application. This course has definitely given me a clear insight into instructional design and has equipped me with the strategies of dealing with content.

The course has great flexibility in terms of applying the concepts learnt instantly, to the content. I enjoyed the course greatly and I truly feel that this course has given me a platform in shaping up my career in e- learning industry. Now I can make a fresh start in this particular domain, confidently applying the knowledge accumulated from such a wonderful course.

I am truly looking forward to such courses from Wavelength which I honestly feel will pave a way for enhancing my career horizons. Thanks to Wavelength for making things so simple for me. It was indeed an honor on my part, being a member of the wavelength family. I am heartily thankful to Wavelength for providing me with such an excellent course.”

Shibani Banik, Content Writer, Satvik Inc, Bangalore.

"First, I’d like to say that I loved everything about the course. One of the reasons I selected IDCWC Online was the flexibility that the online course offered. Being able to go at my own pace, while at the same time having a set time frame in which to complete the modules, was exactly what I needed. I like that I had the opportunity to choose when to take each module, but also loved the structure of having to complete each module within the required time frame. This offered the flexibility that is necessary when trying to juggle work, home, and coursework, but also offered the structure needed to ensure that each module was completed within a reasonable time frame.

I also liked that we were able to “build” the project over the course of the program. This, too, provided the structure needed, but also provided the opportunity to receive the feedback needed to ensure that I was correctly processing the information taught within the course.

The information presented in the course was invaluable. I’ve been writing online safety courses for over a year, and edited a full year prior to that. The material presented in the course made what I do make a lot more sense when I viewed it in light of the various theories presented. What I gained the most from the course was the ability to understand my target audience on a deeper level. I feel that this has made me become a better writer in the sense that I am now able to put a “face” on my audience. This has enabled me to focus more on connecting with my audience and relaying the concepts to them at a level they can understand rather than just focusing on the writing itself.

In short, I thoroughly enjoyed taking the course. In spite of the numerous things going on at the time of year that I took the course (Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays here in the U.S.), I looked forward to taking my classes each week. Keep up the good work!

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a quality online course in Instructional Design. It was a pleasure being part of such a wonderful group!”

Sheri Bankston, Script Writer & Editor, Safety Council of the LA Capitol Area, Louisiana, USA.

"I must say this was probably one of the best experiences of learning I had in my whole life. It was because:
* I had the freedom to learn and focus on what I wanted to draw / learn in-depth from the content.
* The methodology was learner-led, where I had to understand concepts and apply them in assignments.
* The duration was just apt to learn and apply, so that learning remained with you.
* Excellent facilitation by the Facilitator. Truly marvelous, the way she encourages you to learn!
*There was feedback as well as recognition at the end of each module, which kept you going.
*You never felt alone, because of the discussions with fellow colleagues. ”

Ignatius Stanislaus Lobo, GM - Sales Training & Systems, Pepsi India, Hyderabad

"This course has been one of the greatest achievements in my life. It has helped me immensely to perform my current role effectively. This course is a must for people who want to make a career in eLearning. I have already recommended it to some of my friends wanting to start their career in ID. I am glad that I did this course.

As far as the course content goes, it is apt for people who want to learn and implement ID in their job roles. It is well structured and the information is also not very heavy for a new person to digest. The learning experience is great. The discussion forum was a great platform to discuss our views. ”

Abhilasha Iyer, Instructional Analyst, Accenture, Bangalore

"The way the course was facilitated was interesting and encouraging all along the journey.

The thing that interested me most is that I was able to see and feel what I learned through the course modules. Once I moved on into the next module, I felt that what I have learned earlier was implemented and applied on me as a learner, later on within the course. This helped me to understand and live in the experience. I could simply link what I learned with what I implemented, whether in the course activities, assignments or even in the discussion threads.

The way the course was presented has inspired me to think instructionally and to become more involved in my career as instructional designer. I loved the idea of living a story with the characters within the course, tracking the story of their life that helped to understand the concepts more clearly. The user-friendly interface of the course also was of a great help.

Honestly, I could not think of any thing that is missing or might improve the effectiveness of the course further.”

Suba Jarrar, Instructional Designer, AL-Quds Open University , Palestine

" It was wonderful experience of learning ID. I handle a team of content developers (I am not addressing them as IDs yet, including me). I come from an entirely functional background, and this new team of content developers, develops content based upon the functional requirements. This course came to me at the right time and I could relate my requirements with the structure of content and also those useful tips, which could make my life easy. Today my guidance to my people is completely based on the principles I learnt. So, thanks to IDCWC.”

Gurudath Shenoy, Training Manager, ICICIPrudential LifeInsurance ,Bangalore

"The course was just great. It has given me a new insight into various classic theories related to learning. It has also enhanced my understanding of the world of e-learning, an emerging technology in the Indian industry. I thank Wavelength for its efforts in building and running this course in a most effective blended way. I congratulate the team for making it happen.”

Keshava Murthy, Manager (Technical Training), Reliance Energy Ltd. ,Mumbai.

"The IDCWC Online course gave me a chance to see an online course from a student's perspective. As a part of production unit that creates the online course, this perspective is invaluable. The best thing I liked about the course was that it teaches ID through a very sound ID structure. I enjoyed discovering the ID theories applied within the course, it was a-double-loop learning! The course is customized and I could relate to the example and cite my experience in the discussions and assignments. The course is exciting and a challenging must-do for any aspiring ID!”

Jayati Mukherjee, Lead Content Developer, Tata Interactive Systems, Mumbai

"I felt the course was well structured and the activities well placed throughout the training. I enjoyed the course and the method of delivery. The course has helped to motivate me and helped me see how online training can be implemented effectively. I also enjoyed the group discussions and finding out other learner’s views on different aspects of ID. I learnt a lot about ID from the course and also enjoyed the learning process that was used.

Thank you wavelength, for a course well designed as well as interesting. ”

Kogiela R, Instructional Designer, Nedbank, Johannesburg, South Africa.

"I had a wonderful learning experience. I thought that Instructional Design has got to do only with common sense and this course proved me wrong, as there are solid theories behind it. The 3 months duration is just perfect for someone working, not too long or too short. The course structure is very good and to the right detail designed by using good ID strategies.

The best thing about this course in comparison to those provided by other institutes is the discussion forum where all learners come to a common platform and share their opinions and learn together and the feedbacks from the mentor for all assignments. Every step of the way, we knew our progress.

I also liked the fact that the course coordinator was very active and ensured that none of us missed the deadlines. I have already referred some of my colleagues who are enjoying the course right now. I am sure anybody can handle interviews very confidently after attending this course and those who are already IDs can create good courses.”

Romola Kshetrimayum, Sr. Training & Documentation Specialist, Oracle India, Bangalore.

"Extremely well made course. Fun to learn, concepts explained very clearly. Everything taught, is definitely put into practice well. The discussion forums were a great platform to interact and added the much needed human touch to this online course.

I especially, liked the way we were gently guided towards the completion of the final project. The remarks were indeed helpful. Of course, the sense of satisfaction on completing the project is exhilarating!"

Hajira Shaheen, Adwords Senior Representative, Google India, Hyderabad.

“Honestly, this has been one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. For me, it was much better than a traditional classroom setting. I was able to focus on key concepts pertinent to me without "noise."

I have seen other courses offered with promises of similar results in an accelerated format such as a week. These courses have even carried international brand names in the industry; yet, which have defied logic as to how the content could be as comprehensive or absorbed properly in such a timeframe.

I had a good time and learned from the course and my peers. The course was
great."

Brandon Tautimer, eLearning & New Media Designer, HD Institute, Arizona, USA.

"Learning Instructional Design with Wavelength was a wonderful experience. They gave me a complete, planned and powerful course. It not only taught me how to design courses but also gave me confidence to design my life. The guidance provided was something
extra-ordinary. I am extremely thankful to Wavelength..”

B. Kundhavi, Trainee (Instructional Design), Animantz. ,Mumbai.

"At the onset, I would like to thank the Wavelength Team for having created this wonderfully enriching program, which had so much depth in its content. It seems that someone (has to be a team of experts) has painstakingly gone through the various aspects of the course in order to create this masterpiece. The course, by involving the learners in various activities, took an incredibly practical approach to impart knowledge on the subject of Instructional Design. Had it not been for the concept assignments, project assignments, discussions, quizzes and the regular feedback from the facilitator, the course would have merely been academic in nature. This course serves as a fine benchmark for me for taking up any other Elearning courses in future. I may or may not choose Instructional Design as a profession, but the learning I have acquired here surely helps me in gaining understanding of the ID world. It was truly a memorable journey which I shall cherish....at least till the time I take up one of your next courses! ”

Praneet Upadhyaya, Training Lead (Voice & Accent), Keane Worldzen, New Delhi

"This is my first exposure to an online course and to the world of elearning, and I must say that the first impression has been really excellent. Before signing up for the course, I admit that I was a bit skeptical about whether it would actually be helpful. But I'm glad that I was proved wrong! The course content, the look and feel, discussion forum, assignments -the way it was all put together is really amazing. Last but not the least, Shafali as the facilitator, was the icing on the cake! I really admire her commitment and the patience. Her insightful comments and suggestions have been really helpful. All in all, it has been a great learning and fun experience for me. Thank you, Wavelength and especially Shafali.”

Rachana Ramanan, Technical Lead, Wipro Technologies, Bangalore

"The Instructional Designing course has been a very enriching experience. The
course caters to practical application of ID theories. The project given ensured that we were able to apply all aspects covered in the course, giving us a practical perspective of the end-to-end ID process.

This course has helped me build the creativity required to design courses.”

Bhuvaneshwari S, Content Specialist, Hurix Systems ,Chennai

"1. I was looking for a course that would give me a good understanding of the concepts involved with Instructional Design, and the IDCWC Online course met my needs completely.
2. The course was conducted in a very professional manner and I was quite impressed with the amount of material that was delivered through the online medium.
3. The graphics, interactive animations and lectures were very in-depth and thought provoking. I am sure a lot of work must have gone into creating each of the modules.
4. The discussions were interesting and it was a good forum to learn about the viewpoints of other participants.
5. I was wondering if you are coming up with any other similar courses by any chance? If you are, I would definitely be interested!”

Ravi Raj Adukambarai, Associate Producer, McDougal Littell, Chicago,IL, USA.

"IDCWC has been the BEST course I’ve done till date and I highly recommend this to an aspiring ID or anyone who wishes to be a part of the eLearning or training industry. The Wavelength approach to learning is hands-on, engaging, challenging and highly effective.

The course is as good as the learner chooses it to be, while doing course assignments, applying this learning on-the-job, and to life, in general. Apart from demystifying ID in a stimulating and enjoyable way, it has boosted my confidence and helped me understand concepts that once seemed like lofty jargon! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the combination of self-paced learning coupled with intelligent discussions and guided learning.

This was the first online course I did and I didn’t once feel it was impersonal or something that I had to suffer through. Thanks to the Wavelength team for your prompt assistance, encouragement and joie de vivre throughout! Thanks for designing such a great course!"

Tanya Machado, Lead Content Developer, Tata Interactive Systems, Mumbai.

”
C. Vijaiganga, Asst. Consultant (Instructional Design), Tata Consultancy Services ,Chennai

"Course was very informative. Good learning experience. We could learn lot of concepts, the history of ID and about media. The media interaction features was very good. Application of these features well learnt by understanding its usage in this course. Thank you very much for your valuable guidance then and there.”

Dr. Krishnasamy Prema, Asst. Consultant (Instructional Design), Tata Consultancy Services ,Chennai

"The best thing about the course has been that it helped me get a job in one of the premier elearning organizations in the country. Besides imparting learning in the most effective manner via the discussion forum and assignments made it more interesting. The reviews were most helpful in learning the concepts as well as correcting my mistakes. I guess I put in more effort and gained more from an online course than I had done for regular classes.

The content of the course is rich and the interactivities are interesting and also fun. It has been a great learning experience for me”

Beena Nair, Instructional Designer, Tata Interactive Systems, Mumbai

"I feel that the course was very well structured. The examples and interactive exercises were superb. The course has been designed in such a way that people have to learn discipline and planning their time. I also feel that the course facilitator as well the team at Wavelength were very supportive and considerate."

Dhanya Menon, Sr. Technical Writer, Ocimum Biosolutions, Hyderabad.

"Thanks for this opportunity. The course is highly interactive. I enjoyed as well as learnt. I think
this course is the right way to step into the field of Instructional Design. "

Neha Malshe, Ex-Graduate Teaching Assistant, Ohio State University (USA), Mumbai.

"This is an impeccable training program. All the apprehensions, if any, disappear as soon as the course begins. The wavelength newsletter had helped me to judge this program and I am glad I took this decision.
The course caters to the audience’s needs. The information is delivered in a lucid manner and the activities like forum discussion, quizzes etc, foster a zealous attitude in the learner. The efforts taken by the team are laudable. In short the course fulfils the promise of effective learning. "

Vidya Hajirnis, Instructional Designer, Enviro Vigil, Thane (Mumbai).

"It had been a wonderful journey through the IDCWC course where I got immense value addition to my current ID knowledge.

Thank you for such a wonderful and innovative course.”

Sumegha Lazarus, Asst. Manager - Trg. & Devpt.,Reliance Infostreams ,Mumbai

"1st , let me congratulate the entire IDCWC Online team for putting together such an amazing course!! Hats off to you all!! Rarely does one come across a course, which is so comprehensive, student-friendly and challenging. The course made me question and delve deeper into ideas and thoughts, which had not hitherto been, kneaded enough. The language used was simple and strong enough to get the message across to the learner. The learning interactions, I must say have been done very well. And how can I forget! Wavelength’s support and expertise in the field made me feel comfortable all through.

In all, I feel very lucky and grateful that I got to do the IDCWC Course. It is quite a masterpiece!"

Rochana Rajan, Law Associate, Athreya Associates, Mumbai.

"I was not a "e-learning" fan till I joined the IDCWC Online course! I liked the course structure and detailed comments on my assignments & project work kept me motivated throughout the course.

Although my immediate application of the course learning is not in the e-learning space, I am seeing a lot of value by applying the concepts into designing training courses and improving some of the existing training contents."

Sreeprya Jayaprakash, Sr. Executive (Learning & Development), ARM Embedded Technologies (India Office), Bangalore.

"This was my first experience of e-learning. I never thought I could complete the course successfully while on job. But thanks to your strict schedules, I was pushed towards completing my assignments on time. I really appreciated the feedback I got for all of my assignments. Whenever I had any kind of problem or queries, I got help immediately. I am very glad I completed the course at Wavelength. ”

Vijetha Mallikarjun Malkai, Technical Writer, Verifone India ,Bangalore

"Course - Concepts were neatly explained with apporpiate examples. The course has followed the rules it taught. The feedback for the assignments were very good and up-to the point. The facilitator paid attention to the detail in reviewing them.

Experience - Nice and enjoyable..Kept us on track. Little hectic towards the end. Made me think from different perspectives

Learning - Came to know about the existing learning models and therories which instilled confidence in me in designing any course.

Application - I am able to apply the learnt concepts at my job not only for Online learning courses but Instructor Led Training as well.”

V. Annapoorani, Asst. Consultant (Instructional Design), Tata Consultancy Services ,Chennai

"It has been a challenging and unique learning experience. This was my first online course ever, and it was no less demanding than a classroom one. I loved the way the course lectures were presented, discussions facilitated, and assignments evaluated to continuously guide learning. Content-wise too, I am fully satisfied as I learnt a number of new practical tools, frameworks, and methodologies for instructional design as well as content writing. That I am actively engaged in course design and delivery (though CBTs) makes me value the course even more.”

Bharati Joshi, Independent Consultant (Training & Curriculum Design), Jaipur

"The experience was wonderful, though a little hectic at times. But kudos to Aakash, he ensured that the assignments were submitted on time. In my case it is the other way round. Application already existed but I never knew about the theory. Course per se was well structured. In fact I should say the course ‘Walked the Talk’. And finally, Shafali thanks to you for your timely feedback, motivation, and inputs.”

Manjula Ramprasad, Asst. Mgr.(Training & Devpt.), Hinduja TMT, Bangalore.

"This course taught me how to integrate different concepts to bring a result. No other course I did ever taught this key skill to me. As I neared the end of the course, I started appreciating the course more. ”

G. Sreenivasa Rao, Sr. Project Coordinator, Sahanav, Hyderabad

"Overall the course completely meets the objective of being able to apply ID in creating excellent course designs.

The experience has been positive, it was my first online course and the effectivenes of e-learning was brought home by the course. The discussions and the feedbacks, the assignments were just right to enable understanding and application of each theory and model.

The learning was an enjoyable and joyful experience. The simple but effective animations, the various forms of illustrations, the all endearing bholu, the reflections and info potions, the colour schemes used, all added to the enjoyable experience.

The application learning was woven right through the course by connecting the theories and models with concept assignment and slowly building on the course project. Considering the duration of the course the break up of the modules and its components was just right.”

Rashida Atthar,Consultant , Mumbai

"The course has been excellent. To a beginner, it is the right way to begin. For the experienced, it is an appropriate way to fine-tune their skills. I have no second thoughts in saying, that this course is truly of a world class. The best part of the course is that it is a course on e Learning offered through e-Learning methodology. An important characteristic is its learner friendliness. The interactive nature of the course sustains interest throughout. At no moment do you feel left away. Evaluation and Review of assignments helps you to get on the right track.

Highly recommended for those planning to make their career in e-Learning industry.”

T. Navin, Sr. Research Executive, Basix, Hyderabad.

"The IDCWC Online course literally walks the talk, every step of the way (…and I have seen a few courses!) You guys practice what you preach. To have evolved a systematic and scientific approach to teach what is essentially a very creative subject is no mean achievement. Full marks to you!...

The course is designed almost to perfection. Each component of the course plan - whether it is the discussion thread topic, the intermittent interactive exercise, or the case study - has been carefully crafted with a specific objective in mind. The assignments and the feedback have been designed to be stepping stones for the forthcoming topic. Ditto with the supplementary teaching aids - the additional reading, the reflection and even the icons used are all there with a clear-cut purpose.

The application on which the course runs, is user-friendly and almost flawless - I would like to make a special mention of the Quiz, the Online Test and the various interactions through the course.

For someone like me who is no stranger to elearning content development, but still struggling to put a finger on exactly how to design an effective elearning course, this course has been an eye opener. I intend to reinvent my career as a logical outcome of this
course. ”

Arun Belavadi, Project Manager (eLearning), Excel-Soft Technologies, Mysore.

"Your course was very good. This was my first online course and the experience was fantastic.

The course material was very informative and the exercises very good. One particular thing that I liked about your course was the deadlines given to us. This always kept us on our toes. When it comes to learning, you have used a lot of examples, which made complex topics easier to understand. The learning interactions that related to practical instructional design were informative. They gave us a feel of what we were going to face.

To sum up, I'm a very confident person now and my approach to learning or training has changed. Thanks to you and your team. ”

Mahesh Reddy, Group Leader - Training, Hinduja TMT, Bangalore.

“The content of IDCWC is superbly tuned to empower us with intricacies of instructional design and content writing."

Dipankar Maitra, Sr. Executive, Aunwesha Knowledge Technologies, Kolkata.

"This is the most gratifying course I have ever undergone professionally speaking. The content delivery mechanism is near perfect. Almost all major principles of Andragogy have been addressed to while designing the course. The course is an example of how effective eLearning can be. I'm sure this course will soon earn the reputation of a "Must Attend" course in the ID community.

The feeling that arises in my heart when I think back of the days I was involved in the course is one of immense happiness because of the satisfaction of meaningful knowledge gain. ”

Vinay Varrier, Project Leader, Sherston Software, Chennai.

“The course was conducted very systematically. You all should get an A+ for punctuality! Your comments after reviewing our assignments were very valuable. More than these things I appreciate your 'personal touch' with us! You have the art of encouraging your students and getting the best out of them!

Bravo!! God bless you and your IDCWC team at Wavelength!

Latha Mali, SME, Praxis Interactive Technologies, Mumbai.

"The course was extremely helpful and the manner in which it was designed was excellent. Although it was a online course but I always felt as if I were sitting in a classroom and attending the course. The interactive features in the course are very good”

IDCWC Online Course Details...

IDSP Online Course Details...

" • I have seen numerous online training modules, but have not come across any which has been designed so well. Keeping the participant engaged with no face-to-face interaction requires minute level attention in the course design. I really appreciate it.
• The concepts were well explained with realistic examples. The role-play discussion sub-modules were well thought of.
• The discussion forum proved to be a good interactive forum for people to place their thoughts and experiences.
• The application of what I learnt would be significant in the assignment I am in. Some of the hitherto concepts which were just in the mind were brought out very clearly.
• The fillers (characters, anecdotes, quizzes, role-play discussions) added color to the entire module--- they were appropriately and adequately positioned.”

Shivendra Srivastava, Manager (Business Advisory Services), Ernst & Young ,Hyderabad

" * The assignments were truly challenging and made me go back to the theories multiple times before I could come up with solutions. This way the exercises effectively supported reinforcement.

* The discussion forum was the next best thing in the programme. To be able to communicate with people practicing e-learning, share views, and interact, was a truly rewarding experience for me. Since this was more of an extempore exercise it proved to be truly helpful.

* Each theory discussed in the programme was made relevant with real-life associations, examples of applications, and case studies. These have been extremely helpful and I have been successfully applying them in my assignments last couple of months..”

Debalina Sen , Senior Specialist (Instructional Design), Tata Interactive Systems ,Kolkata.

"I really enjoyed the course and found it immediately relevant.
I am able to use the learning to positively impact my work.”

Vikramaditya Tiwari , Vice President, HSBC Bank , Noida.

"It was a great learning experience and I liked the learning strategy used to present the course and that too to experienced Instructional Designers. The scenario based learning was very effective because the caes studies used were very true to our workplace environments. Though I knew all the theories and principles by rote, but how we were applying them in our work without being aware of them was brought to us while doing the assignments and other exercises. Now I feel more confident about my instructional design fundas and feel capable of giving convincing rationale for my views when working on projects as a free lancer.”

Anita Narain, Senior Specialist, Tata Interactive Systems ,Mumbai

"The course is spot on, relevant to industry requirements and deployable. I found tools used for imparting/sharing knowledge very pertinent. I have become a self-proclaimed ambassador of wavelength IDSP course. ”

Ramit Nagyal , Manager HR (Training), HSBC Bank , Kolkata.

" I thoroughly enjoyed the IDSP online course. The interactions on the discussion forum were stimulating and informative. The eight-week course packed in just the right amount of information and knowledge. The introduction to various ID theories and concepts was crisp and informative. It created an urge to learn more – especially about the latest developments in the space of learning.

The various activities were designed to make the participants think and apply the concepts learnt through the course. The learning interactions were well spaced, and there was no pressure, though the timelines kept us on our toes. Most important, I never experienced the loneliness, seen as an inherent drawback of online learning. Complete credit for this goes to the Wavelength team for their prompt responses.

Overall, I would recommend the course to anyone associated with training/learning.”

Nivedita Kuruvilla , Senior Manager (eLearning), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) , Mumbai

" I thank you and your team very much for giving me an opportunity to undergo the IDSP online course. It really is a wonderful training. I learnt a lot during the course. The course content, the structure and methodology is superb.

With my busy schedule, I could give my time to the course and acquired the skills of ID. I would like to do other related courses, which will help me to have an even stronger grip over the subject. If you launch any such courses, please inform me.”

Farooq Badami , Vice President (HR & D), Fluid Technologies , Bellary

"I have not regretted a minute spent on this course. Only regret probably is that it came to an end. I have been recommending this course and IDCWC as well to my friends as well as family members.

Each module exceeded my expectation. I would not have believed it possible to learn so much--theory as well as practical application--in the course of two months. Yet, the course was structured such with interactions and learning checks that I did not feel the pressure at all. It was challenging, testing my abilities, yet enjoyable… I can feel the difference it is making to my work almost everyday.

I enjoyed the interactions and learning checks. They were very well spaced out and never once let me feel that I have been doing nothing but passively reading. The learning checks were never too easy and would not allow complacency to set in.

I believe the future of knowledge management is in eLearning and IDSP gave me a head start. There are so many concepts that have become clear to me and I feel confident about voicing my opinion at work. Thank you.”

Sahana Chattopadhyay, Lead Content Developer,Tata Interactive Systems ,Mumbai

"In a nutshell, it was a very informative course and I do feel a lot confident in talking about the nuances of Instructional design. The assistance provided by Wavelength & The promptness of responses to questions either over email or on the discussion forum made up for the lack of face-to-face interaction.

So, thank you for all your time and effort! I wish you continued success too! .”

Yamini Hirvey, Deputy Manager (Trg.),IBM-Daksh ,Delhi

" The course was excellent! – pitched at exactly the right level for senior Instructional Design professionals. I was very impressed with the structure, consistent quality, and well… every aspect of the course. The discussion forums were a great platform to interact with fellow IDs. The learning interactions were well designed and stimulating. The examples were very useful and practical. The best part was, as and when I progressed through the course, I could understand that the course not only taught me the theories and models, but also applied them so well at every stage, be it Bloom's taxonomy, andragogy, or Gagne's nine events of instruction.

It was quite challenging to meet the timelines of the course with my busy schedule, but I enjoyed every moment I spent with the course. The course met all my expectations and beyond!

It was truly a wonderful experience for me to attend the IDSP course. I have been recommending the beginner courses to my juniors and also IDSP to many of my peers. I appreciate and congratulate the Wavelength team for this great effort.”

Archana Arun , Lead Instructional Designer, Sterling Commerce Solutions , Bangalore

" I have really enjoyed your course and this especially in view of the fact that I had some doubts about the online medium. I have been into classroom teaching and am a die-hard believer in that! I took the course because I realised online teaching can reach more people and could well become a necessity in many cases.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself enjoying the course. One of the reasons I think is the way the jargon has been introduced - with good interactive pieces and examples that helped me correlate my experience with the new jargon. The other important point has been the course facilitator - her posts in the discussion forum were thought provoking and very focussed. In addition I was very pleased with her comments in the assignments - she explains why she thinks your point is not absolutely right very clearly. Thanks once again from a die-hard classroom teacher who is willing to become an online one after taking your course. (I am at level 4 of Krathwohl's taxonomy - Organizing Values!)”

"In toto, the IDSP Online Course has been a positive learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the eight weeks I spent on the course.

Did I learn? Yes, I did. Does what I learnt help me do a better job as a senior ID / Project Manager? Yes, it does. I find that the IDSP course is very practical and can be used to help you do a better job, from writing learning objectives, to evaluating content in terms of cognitive load, and then deciding how to present that content to the learner.

I recommend this course to anybody who is even remotely connected with facilitating learning, instructor-led or CBT.

Thanks to the team at Wavelength for making the course a great learning experience!”

A.B. Apana, Associate Manager , Intelligroup , Bangalore

" The course was conducted quite well and it was a wonderful experience to have had the opportunity to learn about instructional design, particularly when one is working and trying to accommodate the time for learning. The forum and discussions were quite enlightening. Some pointers provided in the course prompted good learning and investigations into the developments in the industry.

Thanks again for a wonderful experience.”

“Writing is my hobby. I joined CWWC online with the intention of honing my writing skills for the web. The course more than served the purpose.

I had never before realized that there were so many nuances to writing. The course is structured in such a way that it comes through as a practical learning experience. The power of writing as a social networking tool has been lucidly presented. The assignments, discussions and quizzes were evenly spread and monitored to ensure learning happened on an almost daily basis.

And all this happened in one quick month... Kudos to the Wavelength team that made this course happen!”

Arun B.R., Learning Designer, ExcelSoft ,Mysore

“CWWC Online is an extremely useful course for aspiring writers like me who want to know about web and wish to contribute effectively in web space with their writings. The course helps you understand the web and its reach, equips you with effective techniques for web wriitng and explains the theories that drives our online behaviour.

The participating experience was unique: its a very lively course that keeps you interested in this online course with its interesting design and real life examples. The course uses interesting characters, blogs and interactive tools which makes the learning easy and rewarding.

The CWWC Online has made me confident in the ways i approach my writing for web and the audience.The areas and terms like scannable and searchable content and terms like meta tags are valuable addition to my knowledge. The theories I learned have given me a new perspective while loking at blogs and web content.The basics of internet are clear now and definitely i feel much more confident as a blogger.

The most interesting thing about this course is the discussion forum. The forum topics make you think, make you ask questions and make you think beyond the obvious, apart from sharing each other's thoughts.

To sum it up, another winner from the team at Wavelength- a course that enables you to hit the ground running.

Once again, thanks for the opportunity”

"I must say this was probably one of the best experiences of learning I had in my whole life. It was because:
* I had the freedom to learn and focus on what I wanted to draw / learn in-depth from the content.
* The methodology was learner-led, where I had to understand concepts and apply them in assignments.
* The duration was just apt to learn and apply, so that learning remained with you.
* Excellent facilitation by the Facilitator. Truly marvelous, the way she encourages you to learn!
*There was feedback as well as recognition at the end of each module, which kept you going.
*You never felt alone, because of the discussions with fellow colleagues. ”

" It was wonderful experience of learning ID. I handle a team of content developers (I am not addressing them as IDs yet, including me). I come from an entirely functional background, and this new team of content developers, develops content based upon the functional requirements. This course came to me at the right time and I could relate my requirements with the structure of content and also those useful tips, which could make my life easy. Today my guidance to my people is completely based on the principles I learnt. So, thanks to IDCWC.”

Gurudath Shenoy, Training Manager, ICICIPrudential LifeInsurance ,Bangalore

"In a nutshell, it was a very informative course and I do feel a lot confident in talking about the nuances of Instructional design. The assistance provided by Wavelength & The promptness of responses to questions either over email or on the discussion forum made up for the lack of face-to-face interaction.

So, thank you for all your time and effort! I wish you continued success too! .”

Yamini Hirvey, Deputy Manager (Trg.),IBM-Daksh, Delhi

"The course was just great. It has given me a new insight into various classic theories related to learning. It has also enhanced my understanding of the world of e-learning, an emerging technology in the Indian industry. I thank Wavelength for its efforts in building and running this course in a most effective blended way. I congratulate the team for making it happen.”

Keshava Murthy, Manager (Technical Training), Reliance Energy Ltd. ,Mumbai.

"I had a wonderful learning experience. I thought that Instructional Design has got to do only with common sense and this course proved me wrong, as there are solid theories behind it. The 3 months duration is just perfect for someone working, not too long or too short. The course structure is very good and to the right detail designed by using good ID strategies.

The best thing about this course in comparison to those provided by other institutes is the discussion forum where all learners come to a common platform and share their opinions and learn together and the feedbacks from the mentor for all assignments. Every step of the way, we knew our progress.

I also liked the fact that the course coordinator was very active and ensured that none of us missed the deadlines. I have already referred some of my colleagues who are enjoying the course right now. I am sure anybody can handle interviews very confidently after attending this course and those who are already IDs can create good courses.”

Romola Kshetrimayum, Sr. Training & Documentation Specialist, Oracle India, Bangalore.

"At the onset, I would like to thank the Wavelength Team for having created this wonderfully enriching program, which had so much depth in its content. It seems that someone (has to be a team of experts) has painstakingly gone through the various aspects of the course in order to create this masterpiece. The course, by involving the learners in various activities, took an incredibly practical approach to impart knowledge on the subject of Instructional Design. Had it not been for the concept assignments, project assignments, discussions, quizzes and the regular feedback from the facilitator, the course would have merely been academic in nature. This course serves as a fine benchmark for me for taking up any other Elearning courses in future. I may or may not choose Instructional Design as a profession, but the learning I have acquired here surely helps me in gaining understanding of the ID world. It was truly a memorable journey which I shall cherish....at least till the time I take up one of your next courses! ”

Praneet Upadhyaya, Training Lead (Voice & Accent), Keane Worldzen, New Delhi

"It had been a wonderful journey through the IDCWC course where I got immense value addition to my current ID knowledge.

Thank you for such a wonderful and innovative course.”

Sumegha Lazarus, Asst. Manager - Trg. & Devpt.,Reliance Infostreams ,Mumbai

"It has been a challenging and unique learning experience. This was my first online course ever, and it was no less demanding than a classroom one. I loved the way the course lectures were presented, discussions facilitated, and assignments evaluated to continuously guide learning. Content-wise too, I am fully satisfied as I learnt a number of new practical tools, frameworks, and methodologies for instructional design as well as content writing. That I am actively engaged in course design and delivery (though CBTs) makes me value the course even more.”

Bharati Joshi, Independent Consultant (Training & Curriculum Design), Jaipur

"I was not a "e-learning" fan till I joined the IDCWC Online course! I liked the course structure and detailed comments on my assignments & project work kept me motivated throughout the course.

Although my immediate application of the course learning is not in the e-learning space, I am seeing a lot of value by applying the concepts into designing training courses and improving some of the existing training contents."

Sreeprya Jayaprakash, Sr. Executive (Learning & Development), ARM Embedded Technologies (India Office), Bangalore.

"The experience was wonderful, though a little hectic at times. But kudos to Aakash, he ensured that the assignments were submitted on time. In my case it is the other way round. Application already existed but I never knew about the theory. Course per se was well structured. In fact I should say the course ‘Walked the Talk’. And finally, Shafali thanks to you for your timely feedback, motivation, and inputs.”

Manjula Ramprasad, Asst. Mgr.(Training & Devpt.), Hinduja TMT, Bangalore.

“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 Gandhi , Deputy Manager, Wipro BPO .

"My feedback, in one word is – Fantastic!
To be specific, I liked:
a) the style of training of the facilitator and I appreciate the content selection and time allocated for each content chunk.
b) different modes of staying connected (discussion forums and assignments) that help in increasing the retention level.
c) focus on application of various models and theories that we study.
d) the experience & the knowledge of the facilitator and her awareness level of the latest developments in the ID field. "

FAADC Course Details...

“As an ActionScript programmer, I was always keen on learning FLEX and wanted to expand my skills in this technology. I am a regular reader of Wavelength’s Newsletter and had already done two ActionScript certifications (ASDC and AS2OOP) from there. While going through the newsletter I read about the FADC (Flex 3.0 Application Developer Certificate course) certification being introduced by WAVELENGTH and got myself enrolled for the same without giving it a second thought. I was already familiar with the methodology of Wavelength which I always feel is the best learning experience I have ever came across.

The course is conducted in such a manner that gives a programmer the in-depth knowledge of FLEX as a technology and the new classes introduced in AS 3.0. After the course, I feel confident of developing FLEX Applications and have clear understanding of what I write when I develop in FLEX.

The vast knowledge of Mr. Anand in the field of e-learning and software development had always encouraged me to attend and give 100% effort in my class. The discussion forum, regular assignments and the project helped me build my conceptual as well as practical knowledge in FLEX and AS 3.0.

All my gratitude to WAVELENGTH!”

Nitish Lamba , Actionscript / Flex Programmer, Magic Software,Noida

“I will definitely miss Wavelength forever. It has been quite a remarkable experience of learning here. I have already done two courses before doing Wavelength’s FLEX course. I found this course is up to the mark like other courses of Wavelength despite ours being the first batch. Wavelength’s practical approach and down to earth examples helped me to understand this course very clearly. I feel very confident now with what learning this training program has imparted to me.

Thank you for your unwavering support.”

Vivek Saxena , Actionscript / Flex Programmer, Magic Software,Noida

“It’s a place for professionals.”

“It was a very good experience to be part of the Wavelength for the second time with the FLEX 3.0 course, as earlier I did ASDC (ActionScript Developer Certificate course). Wavelength’s training programs are very well structured, and conducted in a very professional manner. The way they cover each topic with very live examples is excellent and it helps us do a lot of work in a professional environment .The depth of knowledge I got during this course has made me fully confident about developing Flex Applications.

I thank Wavelength that it has given me an opportunity to participate in the Flex course. My good wishes are always with Wavelength and I expect that in future they will launch more good trainings so that we can get more and more benefit from the courses and rise in life.”

FAADC Course Details...

“When I typed in ActionScript training in Google for the first time, the very first link that appeared was Wavelength’s. I used Google because I am a C++ developer and don’t have any contact with people working in ActionScript domain. Searching for the right course itself was a challenge for me as I wanted to invest my hard earned money in a good training institute, I use the word “good” because my experience with other institutes was below average and not as per my expectations.

Since Google is not partial to anyone in specific so I also found other Action Script training institutes. I made inquires with all of them and finally rated Wavelength top among them. This was because Wavelength responded to all my queries very transparently without telling me ‘Why they are the Best?’

I was properly counselled at Wavelength. I realized that not everyone can take a Wavelength course; only those who satisfy the prerequisites for the course can do so. That day I realized that the strong foundation of Wavelength was firmly built on the two basic pillars, Quality and Discipline, where I never saw any compromise.

The course has predefined set of methodologies and rules. The marking system is very transparent and effective. Each and every task has a predefined benchmark. The complete training is meant for achieving milestones. All the course activities carry marks along with it, so each competitor tries his best. The marks obtained are transparent & open for all. Feedback for each assignment is provided properly, so that one understands the reason for the marks given.

Finally, I would say Wavelength was the first and last institute where I have seen CMM level Quality and IIT type Training and Discipline. Finally I will use the word ‘Excellent’ for Wavelength’s trainings and congratulate all those students, who have gained recognition as programmers after completing their course from Wavelength."

- Parminder Singh, Sr. Software Engineer, MTree Software .

“Those eight weeks, which I spent at Wavelength, were full of learning and gaining knowledge. I not only got the opportunity to grasp the concepts of much in demand – “ActionScript”, but at the same time I learnt – what is the eLearning industry all about.

Though I didn’t have any prior programming background, at Wavelength I didn’t even realize how quickly I grasped the concepts of ActionScript. By the end of the course, I felt that this was my first and the most effective programming experience! The courseware is so well structured and consists of a variety of activities such as discussion forums, assignments, online test, project presentation and the list goes on…. It makes you a full-fledged ActionScript programmer and not just any other coder with some vague commands in mind. You gain confidence in applying your own logics and add creativity to this technical field.

After completing this course, I am delighted to say, I am ready to face any challenge in the well known eLearning companies. It will be a pleasurable experience for any potential student who wishes to join Wavelength and make the most out of it!"

- Shivani Nayyar , UI Designer, Magic Software.

“I am a Flash designer in an e-learning company and I always wanted to learn ActionScript. I came to know about Wavelength through their website and felt very happy because this is the only place where you can learn e- learning based ActionScript. The ASDC is a very well structured course where we get different assignments, which help us make our concepts strong. I joined Wavelength with a hope and Wavelength fulfilled my hope. I have learned ActionScript and feel more confident now because now I can design as well as program in Flash. Wavelength has given a new turn to my career. ”
- Nitesh Jain, Flash Designer, FCS Ltd.

“It was really a pleasant experience doing a course at Wavelength. I am very impressed with the way they teach and use real life examples in their teaching. I enjoyed working on project, assignments and discussions during the course. I have a design background and I wanted to start my career as ActionScript programmer. I was confused about how I could start it with a new beginning. But after doing this course from Wavelength, I am very confident about the ActionScript and I am now ready to start my career as a ActionScript Programmer. After gaining some work experience, I will surely do the next level-programming course from Wavelength."
- Vikas Sharma, Graphic Designer, Just Dial Services.

“I really had a good experience while learning Action Script at Wavelength. I have joined courses at other places also but I personally feel that Wavelength’s methodology is the best.
While learning ActionScript at Wavelength, I felt as if I was actually working for some one. Here the assignments, project, regularity & strict discipline helps the students become best in their stream. Anyone interested in learning good ActionScript must join Wavelength.”
- Pradeep Rawat, Graphic Designer.

“"Being a part of the WAVELENGTH has been the greatest learning experience of my life. I would like to thank my mentors for their unconditional support and help throughout the course. Before joining Wavelength, I was not at all confident of writing ActionScript code and used to take help from books and tutorials without knowing what I was writing. But in these 2 months at Wavelength, I have not only learned how to write ActionScript code systematically on my own but also I am now confident of what I write. The best thing I like about Wavelength is the way they explain the concepts and terminologies with the help of real life Examples. The course methodology that is being employed in the Wavelength is without a doubt most informative, interactive, and it provides an array of learning activities. In the end I would say that it was a wonderful learning experience at Wavelength and they have made learning easier and enjoyable. Thanks to WAVELENGTH!”- Nitish Lamba.

Nitish Lamba, ActionScript Programmer, Magic Software

“Wavelength is the name of trust. Here we get exposed to actionScript according to the commitment made by the Wavelength. They impart the knowledge of ActionScript with the easiest methodology, which I have ever seen. In my opinion, it is difficult to find such a place in these days. This is one of the best places of learning in northern India. After completion of ASDC Course, I got a chance to work with a good eLearning company. Presently I am doing the Advanced ActionScript course (AS2OOP) from Wavelength.”

Vivek Saxena, ActionScript Programmer, Magic Software

“I must say that the course make well worth of your money spent on it. It helped me build my conceptual base for ActionScript programming and now after completing the course I can say that I can do programming in Flash very efficiently as my concepts are clear. That's why I would like to warmly thank Wavelength not only for their teaching me ActionScript but also for helping me in such a great way that it made me a confident programmer.”

- Tajinder Juneja , UI Designer, Magic Software.

“It was really a wonderful experience taking a course at Wavelength. Their way of teaching and their practical approach is just awesome. At wavelength they really make you confident that you can face any kind of problem. The most important thing is they are very particular about the assignments and projects so that one can learn most from the course and practice it. They teach you to work according to the way eLearning industry. They not only give the conceptual knowledge but also teach you how it works practically. The assignments and the final project make you explore ActionScript practically. Studying at Wavelength built a strong platform for me in ActionScript. At Wavelength, one not only learns the concept of ActionScript but also becomes strong in the concepts of how other programming languages work.”- Parvinder Kaur.

(Parvinder works with Studio Smile as Online Web Designer. She is now applying the power of ActionScript to make interactive sites for her company.)

“My search for an institution, which provided knowledge of ActionScript, began when suddenly my job required me to work on the programming of Flash. As a novice in Software, this was a great challenge.

During this I came in contact with Wavelength. At our first meet, I was convinced of their commitment towards their work and the seriousness with which they approached this course.

During the two months I stayed with the Wavelength family, I realized their methodology of training did not only incorporate knowledge of ActionScript, but helped me grasp a general notion of how most languages worked and how to approach issues when developing an application. The projects that were assigned to us, gave a practical dimension to the course. The final project provided a complete overview of what the applications of ActionScript would be in the e-learning industry.

But to top it all, I have to commend Ranjeet and Shafali for their commitment to their Work. Kudos! ”- Binish Mushtaq.

(Binish works with American Express as Sr. Training Analyst and is responsible for the eLearning initiative at his organization.)

“ Wavelength is the place of trust and if the person is keen to learn he can learn so many things. The methodology which wavelength follows is excellent, i.e. A real & live Project while learning. Though I've spent only 2 months here, but I really learnt so many things, that I was not able to understand in the last one year of my career. I am looking forward to joining Wavelength’s advance course in ActionScript very soon, which will definitely makes me more skilled and improve my prospects further.”- Vishal Saxena.

The course started and slowly as the course progressed my queries also got solved. It was a very rigorous training program, which included home assignments, Quizzes, and Project.

IDCWC Course Details...

" The IDCWC-experience as I would like to call it, has been immensely uplifting, energizing and engaging all through. A well-spread out and well-designed course using the ID strategy was the best tribute to the subject that was taught.

A break of 5 years and the challenge of going back to industry with a good branding would have been really difficult without the holistic grooming that I experienced. I was not just taught the subject well but honed as an individual as well. Both are equally important when you are all set to market yourself.

I have been unable to resist the temptation of suggesting this course to my colleagues, friends (in related job profiles) even if they are in senior positions, well placed and already leading an established career. That speaks it all. This whole experience is indispensable to someone who has some connection with the e-learning industry. Shafali, you put your heart into the training and kept the whole group motivated till the end. Thank you so much.

Wavelength is doing a wonderful service to the aspirants. Please keep up the good work!"

- Arti Kaul , Instructional Designer, NIIT, New Delhi

" I'm extremely happy that I took the IDCWC course from Wavelength. This is one of the best learning experiences I've ever had. I'm a person with media background and joined this course with very little knowledge about Instructional Design. Now I feel much more confident and can do a whole lot of things. The course has been designed so well that each and every session was a wonderful experience. The assignments and online discussion forum have helped identify the writer in me. The classroom discussions were a good platform to share knowledge and ideas from peers. "

- Vijayakumar Krishnan, Project Lead, Accenture, Gurgaon

"Conundrum is the word that sums up my perspective on Instructional Design before doing the IDCWC course from Wavelength. I was so confused and stressed that I doubted my decision to become an Instructional Designer and thought that probably ID is not of my cup of tea. Then, came this course that completely changed by perspective towards ID and myself. In the course, I learned the application of the ID principles, theories and models for the first time and realized that I have been doing ID subconsciously from quite some time. IDCWC has helped me shred away my fears, inhibitions, doubts and intimidation and resurrect the belief on my caliber as an Instructional Designer. This course is indeed powerful and magical enough to do the same to you. My recommendation: Do give it a try and believe me you won´t regret rather you´ll cherish this experience for long! "

- Suchandra Ganguly , Instructional Designer, Content Solutions, Genpact, Gurgaon

"My quest for seeking knowledge on Instructional Design (ID) began when I job posted to a Training Analyst’s position. I was looking for a structured approach towards learning ID. I realized on the job that ID required technical skills, rather than, just content writing ability. It’s more than meets the eye.

The training at Wavelength added a new dimension to my existing knowledge and helped me enhance my ID skills. My existing knowledge on ID was like a jigsaw puzzle. Scattered and disjointed! The pieces came together, once I got my concepts clarified through this training.

I am all praise for the course mentor. She is a thorough professional. From screening each trainee’s eligibility to the final execution of the training, she makes sure that the trainees get individual attention and personal time with her to chart their own careers. She is open to trainees committing mistakes and diligently provides value added feedback. It will make anyone sit upright and wonder – “Oh! Why didn’t I think like that?”

If you want a no-nonsense approach towards learning and no false promises from a training provider, then I recommend Wavelength."

"I recall the 8 weeks of IDCWC contact course as a rich and a fantastic learning experience. The course is cleverly designed and structured, like a well thought run order of modules, which not only empowers you with the skill of ID, but also gives you new insights while dealing with content. The course sessions passed like a breeze, thanks to some intelligent classroom activities and interesting assignments.

As a media professional, I was hugely benefited in terms of ideation, structure and design of content for any audience. This rigorous course enabled me to "hit the ground running" after the completion, and I am thankful to Wavelength and its team."

"I will start with an incidence, which I feel was important for my decision to go and check out for Instructional Design. It happened in September last year, the day I joined my first firm. It was the last day of a colleague in office Ah!! I forgot to tell you that I joined on this colleague’s position. In the adieu ceremony, I just asked her, so what next, and she replied, “I am pursuing a course in ID” that was the first day I heard of Instructional Design, which I misunderstood as Information Technology (IT). And when I checked the word out it actually rang a bell somewhere deep inside me. And friends, you know what, exactly 3 months later I came to Wavelength for an interview.

I found a friend and a mentor in Shafali. Believe me I am not exaggerating. She is not only a warm person but also a gifted person. She makes you understand things, which are hard to digest and are difficult to understand and that what sets her apart.

Today, I proudly say that yes, I am an ID. I will not lie by saying that I always dreamt to be an ID. Like every child I had my own set of dreams, and they are intact still. ID has changed my point of view. I have grown as a person. My thinking has refined and I have become way more than a confident person but not over-confident. I now believe more in myself.

Remember, your goal should be clear. Make small objectives and work to achieve your dream, which is the ultimate goal. Keep enlightening yourself on the path to achieve your goal. There is lot to learn and life is small to accumulate such a vast ocean of knowledge."

- Bhanu Malhotra, Instructional Designer, FCS Solutions Ltd., Noida.

"This course has been one of the greatest achievements of my life. This is not to say that it is the first training, which I have attended but the way this training programme is organised and implemented, is just outstanding!

It has been able to put the scattered pieces of information at the right places. Initially, when I joined the course, I thought that it is going to be child's play for me, as most of the theories and models were similar to those taught as a part of B.Ed curriculum. So, I being a B.Ed thought that I knew it all, but as the course progressed, I realised that the story was quite different. Although, most of us knew about the models and theories, but we learnt their practical application in the course.

Shafali is a mentor in the true sense, and a perfectionist, who can even make dull fellow dance to the tunes of ID. She has developed into me the love for this field called Instructional Design. Presently, I am working as a Content Designer and I just love being that!

Thanks for being there and for opening the creative window of my mind!"

- Aarti Sehgal , Content Designer, Nelson, Noida

“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 Gandhi , Deputy Manager, Wipro BPO .

"It was my journey from Homemaker to Instructional Designer and I enjoyed every moment of it. It was really a different experience that enhanced my creativity, and filled my mind with new ideas.Thanks for your guidence. I'm missing those classes, discussions on different topics, assignments, quizes etc.that helped me think differently. I found a new person in me who is now more confident and self dependent.

Thanks."

- Bhawana Awasthi , Homemaker (Now Instructional Designer)

"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, Content Writer, Educomp

“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) - Prashant Goyal.

"If I had to summarise my whole experience in one word it would be - incredible. I just loved every bit of it. From discussions to assignments, from little games to the complete project; everything was just perfect. IDCWC is a 'must-do'. Earning an Honors certificate in this course is not very difficult. All you have to do is - forget about the certificate completely and focus all the attention on the learning.

E-learning is now an emerging industry in India. Therefore, through the medium of this course any interested person can get transformed into a great Instructional Designer. To conclude this course has an excellent instructor, excellent content, excellent environment etc etc etc. What else can a learner ask for?:-)"

“The IDCWC course is fantastic! It was a unique learning experience, which kept me on my toes; something, which I enjoyed immensely. The program is methodical, structured and very creative. More than anything else the course helped me to discover my potential. Shafali is a great instructor. Kudos to her for designing something so creative, innovative and interesting!”

- Payal Chatterjee , Associate Manager (Learning and Development), e-nxt Financials.(a subsidiary of Tata Motors)

“The course was phenomenal. It was one of the most useful trainings I have ever attended - a good balance of core ideas and practices and new ideas and theories. I like the fact that there were a small number of participants, which allowed adequate time to fully explore and learn on each topic.

It certainly is 'intensive'... A highly focused and concentrated experience that will enable me to improve the products I design. The choice of topics covered is excellent and there is direct applicability of the learning to my work. The topics flow from one into the other. The information builds gradually and at the same time the information is comprehensive and presented at deeper levels.

It was great having the opportunity to put into practice every week what I learned with the different exercises. Excellent! I know I leave with many new tools to apply when I return to the "Corporate world."

And if I may say “ You Rock!!” - Bhawna Kak.

“I never knew that two months and only eight Sundays at Wavelength could make such a difference in anybody’s life. But they did. In my case, I can feel a huge difference in my overall personality. This course has brought out a new person out of me. This was the best ever learning experience of my life. The assignments, classroom activities and detailed feedback on the assignments made me deliver my best.

Shafali, you always said, “Take the feedback seriously, work on it and give your best. You’ll succeed”. I remembered your words throughout the course and gave my best. Along with instruction design skills, you developed many other skills in us such as: Confidence, teamwork, handling the pressure, making timely deliveries, striving hard to give your best and also the spirit of positive competition. You are the BEST TEACHER, I ever had.

A BIG THANKS TO YOU!!! ” - Sarita Sharma.

“Sailing in the waters of Information Technology for five years, switching to Instructional Design (ID) was a conscious and tough decision for me. I grappled through various ID concepts on the Internet but the clarity in the understanding remained aloof.

I then decided to join Wavelength and my decision turned into a boon. Wavelength gave me a clear insight, right impetus, and immense confidence. I am prepared to walk....run....come out with flying colors... from this new world of Instructional Design.

Thank you Wavelength!!!” - Amita Tomar.

“I have always enjoyed writing. I have always enjoyed imagining. I have always enjoyed passing knowledge to people. Being involved in the creation of training modules for my company gave me the feeling that something was not working. I used to feel that the training materials can be made much more interesting. I thought that learning Instructional design was the only way to find out how.

Wavelength gave me all the knowledge that I was hankering to get. And the best part of Wavelength is not a single moment is boring. Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves.

" I am delighted I took the IDCWC online course and it is, I think, a perfect example of a very well-structured online course. Students were given very clear guidance regarding the course content, evaluation etc.

To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be that intensive when I registered. There is indeed a lot of material to cover in three months and it is challenging. But I feel I have learned a lot and would certainly recommend it to anybody interested in Instructional Design."

Dr. Veronique Gauthier, Editor, Authentik Ltd., Dublin, Ireland.

"First, I’d like to say that I loved everything about the course. One of the reasons I selected IDCWC Online was the flexibility that the online course offered. Being able to go at my own pace, while at the same time having a set time frame in which to complete the modules, was exactly what I needed. I like that I had the opportunity to choose when to take each module, but also loved the structure of having to complete each module within the required time frame. This offered the flexibility that is necessary when trying to juggle work, home, and coursework, but also offered the structure needed to ensure that each module was completed within a reasonable time frame.

I also liked that we were able to “build” the project over the course of the program. This, too, provided the structure needed, but also provided the opportunity to receive the feedback needed to ensure that I was correctly processing the information taught within the course.

The information presented in the course was invaluable. I’ve been writing online safety courses for over a year, and edited a full year prior to that. The material presented in the course made what I do make a lot more sense when I viewed it in light of the various theories presented. What I gained the most from the course was the ability to understand my target audience on a deeper level. I feel that this has made me become a better writer in the sense that I am now able to put a “face” on my audience. This has enabled me to focus more on connecting with my audience and relaying the concepts to them at a level they can understand rather than just focusing on the writing itself.

In short, I thoroughly enjoyed taking the course. In spite of the numerous things going on at the time of year that I took the course (Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays here in the U.S.), I looked forward to taking my classes each week. Keep up the good work!

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a quality online course in Instructional Design. It was a pleasure being part of such a wonderful group!”

Sheri Bankston, Script Writer & Editor, Safety Council of the LA Capitol Area, Louisiana, USA.

"The way the course was facilitated was interesting and encouraging all along the journey.

The thing that interested me most is that I was able to see and feel what I learned through the course modules. Once I moved on into the next module, I felt that what I have learned earlier was implemented and applied on me as a learner, later on within the course. This helped me to understand and live in the experience. I could simply link what I learned with what I implemented, whether in the course activities, assignments or even in the discussion threads.

The way the course was presented has inspired me to think instructionally and to become more involved in my career as instructional designer. I loved the idea of living a story with the characters within the course, tracking the story of their life that helped to understand the concepts more clearly. The user-friendly interface of the course also was of a great help.

Honestly, I could not think of any thing that is missing or might improve the effectiveness of the course further.”

Suba Jarrar, Instructional Designer, AL-Quds Open University , Palestine

"I felt the course was well structured and the activities well placed throughout the training. I enjoyed the course and the method of delivery. The course has helped to motivate me and helped me see how online training can be implemented effectively. I also enjoyed the group discussions and finding out other learner’s views on different aspects of ID. I learnt a lot about ID from the course and also enjoyed the learning process that was used.

Thank you wavelength, for a course well designed as well as interesting. ”

Kogiela R, Instructional Designer, Nedbank, Johannesburg, South Africa.

“Honestly, this has been one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. For me, it was much better than a traditional classroom setting. I was able to focus on key concepts pertinent to me without "noise."

I have seen other courses offered with promises of similar results in an accelerated format such as a week. These courses have even carried international brand names in the industry; yet, which have defied logic as to how the content could be as comprehensive or absorbed properly in such a timeframe.

I had a good time and learned from the course and my peers. The course was
great."

Brandon Tautimer, eLearning & New Media Designer, HD Institute, Arizona, USA.

"1. I was looking for a course that would give me a good understanding of the concepts involved with Instructional Design, and the IDCWC Online course met my needs completely.
2. The course was conducted in a very professional manner and I was quite impressed with the amount of material that was delivered through the online medium.
3. The graphics, interactive animations and lectures were very in-depth and thought provoking. I am sure a lot of work must have gone into creating each of the modules.
4. The discussions were interesting and it was a good forum to learn about the viewpoints of other participants.
5. I was wondering if you are coming up with any other similar courses by any chance? If you are, I would definitely be interested!”

Ravi Raj Adukambarai, Associate Producer, McDougal Littell, Chicago,IL, USA.
