Chapter 28
Encyclopedia of Information Communication Technologies and Adult Education Integration
This acronym stands for Instructional System Design and was originally disseminated widely in the 1970s. In the training field, ISD became known as SAT, i.e., Systems Approach to Training. Key to this concept is the notion of chunking of components of the instructional cycle, such as can be seen in the ADDIE model.

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the underlying principles of instructional design and delivery as means for adult education practitioners to discern which instructional methods and strategies are suited to learners and learning tasks. The considerations here are intended to assist the educator in grasping key elements of ISD that work across cultures, distance, and learning needs, styles, and preferences of adults. It offers a strategy for determining key components of instructional technology. As such, this chapter is a foundation that provides data points for decision-making about instructional design and delivery for today’s adult educators.
