Now, the bad news: you didn’t get the budget to hire a professional to design and develop the course. What are your options if your association can’t afford an instructional designer? You won’t necessarily save money in the long-run by handling instructional design yourself. Take a hybrid approach to instructional design.

Because of my job, I get to look at a lot of elearning courses. One thing common to quite a few is that they lack a graphic design sense and structure. First, most of the people I talk to don’t have a graphic design background. So they tend to do very basic design work, if any at all. Good Graphic Design Creates Meaning.
