The field of instructional design (ID) has enjoyed considerable success over the last two decades but is now facing some of the pains expected along
with its growth. Based largely on behavioristic premises, ID is adjusting to cognitive ways of viewing the learning process. Originally a primarily linear process, ID is embracing new methods and computer design tools
that allow greater flexibility in the management and order of design activities. See Cognitive
Approaches to Instructional Design. Some innovative methods for doing instructional design are, e.g., rapid prototyping and automated design
systems. An instructional designer is "(a)n individual who applies a systematic methodology based on instructional theory to create content for learning events", according to Learning Circuits.
