Four Component Instructional Design (4CID.org)

The 4C/ID model by Van Merriënboer is an instructional design model that helps teachers and education designers with creating educational programs for complex learning. Its basic assumption is that such educational programs can always be described in terms of four basic components, namely (a) learning tasks, (b) supportive information, (c) procedural information, and (d) part-task practice. Learning tasks provide the backbone of the educational program; they provide learning from varied experiences and explicitly aim at the transfer of learning. The three other components are connected to this backbone. More information about 4C/ID is available on www.4cid.org. On this YouTube channel we post instructional and informative videos related to the 4C/ID model.
