This is the participant practice site for the course titled Fundamentals of Instructional Design.

This short course covers the basics of instructional design and how they are applied to the development of quality training programs and courses. Starting with the theoretical basis of teaching and learning, the course navigates key concepts in the design, development and delivery of quality courses both from a near and distance perspective. The course balances both theoretical presentations and practical sessions in equal measure, to give the participant hands on experience on how to use the different tools. The ultimate aim of the course is to build a critical mass of higher education tutors who can design high impact courses to improve delivery of teaching and learning. The course also looks at the state-of-the-art regarding teaching methodology, especially in the areas of high value learning objects and e-Learning. On completion of the course, the participant is qualified to be a 'developer'.

This is an online short course that provides a guided exploration of the issues as participants learn semi-independently. You will be undertaking this course together with a cohort of your peers, the profiles of which have been shared. We are happy to have you on the course and we are highly hopeful that it is a worthwhile learning experience.


ResilientAfrica Network (RAN) through Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) has designed a short course on grants writing and management within the scope of USAID programs. Based on RTAC’s engagements with researchers worldwide, it is clear that despite having the content expertise, University-based researchers in LMICs often do not have specific experience in how development works. This course will describe USAID’s granting mechanisms and priorities. The course will cover different approaches to and process of searching for funding and reviewing requests for proposals (RFPs) from USAID, the grant application process, key considerations to proposal writing as well as the Dos and Don'ts in grant writing.
