Instructional Design Models

"Models, like myths and metaphors, help us to make sense of our world. Whether it is derived from whim or from serious research, a model offers its user a means of comprehending an otherwise incomprehensible problem. An instructional design model gives structure and meaning to an I.D. problem, enabling the would-be designer to negotiate her design task with a semblance of conscious understanding. Models help us to visualize the problem, to break it down into discrete, manageable units."

Never quite understood what people mean by instructional design. As used in this context it seems to me to be a strategies for learning and teaching or pedagogies. But this is a great collection of different theories, well indexed and linked.
