| Industry Experts as Faculty |
| |
Ivy has rich resources in terms of infrastructure, hardware, software, human resource and R&D team. Aiming to be a winner in the training field, the organization has developed a strong Instructional R&D Team which eventually has evolved as a precious asset.
The strength lies in the fact that the team members have considerable years of experience with a continuous zeal to explore and the flair to impart. The team comprises of Senior Systems Architects, Senior IT Consultants, Certified Experts from Corporates like IBM, TCS, Tech Mahindra, WIPRO, PWC, etc. Among others, Instructional Designers and noted Academicians have readily extended their cooperation to nurture the talents who would be ready to win the industry giants by their skill-sets and expertise.
Management Gurus and Etiquette Trainers will enrich the participants and provide the ‘Midas’ touch for enhancement of communicative and managerial skills. The interactive training methodologies according to the theories guided by Instructional Designers are to make the sessions more interesting allowing a lot of scope for Brainstorming and Research. Above all, Ivy is also taking the initiative to invite eminent guest-lecturers to improvise the curriculum and include the latest in the industry. |

| Instructional Design |
| |
|
| |
Instructional Design is the practice of arranging media (communication technology) and content to help learners and teachers transfer knowledge most effectively. The process consists broadly of determining the current state of learner understanding, defining the end goal of instruction and creating some media-based "intervention" to assist in the transition.
Ideally the process is informed by pedagogically tested theories of learning and may take place in student-only, teacher-led or community-based settings. The outcome of this instruction may be directly observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed. |
| |
|
Steps in ID |
| |
|
The name “ADDIE” is a common mnemonic (memory aid) for the five major steps in the instructional design process. |
| |
|
| |
A = Analysis |
| |
|
| |
D = Design |
| |
|
| |
D = Development |
| |
|
| |
I = Implementation |
| |
|
| |
E = Evaluation |
| |
|
| Benefits |
| |
|
| |
It’s formal: Instead of relying on the effectiveness of a haphazard collection of instructional development methods reinvented by each professor, Instructional Design presents a single formalized model. |
| |
|
| |
It’s proven: In over 50 years of use, Instructional Design has proven to be an extremely effective method of teaching and training as well as an excellent return on investment. |
| |
|
| |
It’s fair: A common student complain is that some professors fail to test over the material they teach. In the Instructional Design approach, testing follows directly from the learning objectives & course content, ensuring that testing reflects teaching. |
| |
|
| |
It’s modular: The nature of the Instructional Design process produces “chunks” of content that are easier to maintain and upgrade. |
| |
|
| |
It’s portable: Chunks of content facilitate reusing relevant material in another course as well as moving material to other delivery formats such as print or the web. |
| |
|
| |
It provides data for evaluation: Feedback is built into the Instructional Design model at every stage and a consistent methodology allows for easier comparison across courses and disciplines. |
| |
|
| How it differs from the Traditional Approach: |
| |
|
| |
Rigorous analysis identifies the most critical material and makes it a priority of the course. |
| |
|
| |
The course is tailor-made for specific audiences. |
| |
|
| |
Course content is derived from learning objectives that specifically state what a student is to learn. |
| |
|
| |
Course content is delivered in a variety of methods and carefully scripted to evoke maximum learning and retention. |
| |
|
| |
Evaluation is varied and frequent. |
| |
|
| |
Evaluations are keyed to the learning objectives (i.e. criterion-referenced) |
| |
|
| |
Evaluations are used both as a teaching tool (via prompt and remedial feedback of results) and a feedback tool for professors to constantly improve the course. |
| |
|
| |
“At Ivy, the classes are not traditional, instructor-led, face-to-face classes. Our team anticipates the needs of learners and designs instructions that "build in" clarity, resources, activities, feedback and the like.” |

| Industry Exposure & Focus |
| |
|
| |
| At Ivy, we follow the principle of ‘practical learning’. Students are trained to handle actual situations by handling real life projects. In the current IT scenario, employers are looking for a workforce which does not simply rely on academic mastery, but also possesses the practical skills necessary in getting things done. We at IVY ensure that the students have plenty of ‘hands-on’ training in industry standards, programs and equipment. Students have the opportunity to complete real world projects during their training, with many students gaining industry experience before they actually step into the ‘real’ world. |
