Abstract

This paper reports on the concept of IDMaps™, a unique development by the learning professionals at Catalyst Interactive, an e-Learning company dedicated to delivering learner-centric solutions. The Catalyst Interactive IDMaps™ methodology underpins a learning design that ensures e-Learning teaches, engages the learner in learning and delivers business results. This paper explores the IDMaps™ methodology, which in essence is a series of 'roadmaps' to encourage the development of new design concepts and learning strategies. These 'roadmaps' provide designers with a series of 'sign posts' that guide the design journey and promote the application of tested learning theories in new ways. IDMaps™ are Catalyst Interactive's unique methodology for designing and developing e-Learning solutions.
