IDCWC
Online Course Details...
 "
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.
"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
"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).
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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
"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
"With
the blend of technology and concept, this course, arouses
the interest of the learner in Instructional design theories
and models. It wins the heart of people who are getting introduced
to the elearning/ID world. The assignments followed with immediate
feedbacks, allow the learner to gain confidence and correct
mistakes if any. Thus going through the entire course is an
astounding exercise and sure to yield better results.

"The
Instructional Design 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.”

* The experience has been very good and the benefits of online
mode well utilized .
* Application of principles has been well-etched.”

Consultancy Services ,Chennai
"IDCWC
was my first online course and I think I will henceforth look
at all future online courses I enroll in with a prejudiced
eye, constantly comparing them to the outstanding learning
imparted by Wavelength.
The course is structured in a coherent and instructionally
apt manner, consistently facilitating sustained learning and
ensuring learner motivation. Any apprehensions I had about
the lack of student-instructor contact were allayed by the
course facilitator’s systematic feedback and easy accessibility
for query resolution. IDCWC was an experience that’s
broadened my horizons and invigorated my perspectives and
approach to work.”
Aditya Rajan,
Trainer, Evolv
Management Services ,Mumbai
"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

"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

"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.”

"
Course - Concepts were neatly explained with appropriate
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. 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
"At
the onset, I would like to thank Shafali and her 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 assignment, 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

"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
"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
"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 (Shafali). 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. ”

"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
"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
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
“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.
"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
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!
