How is instructional systems design (ISD) different from HRD in practice?
ISD focuses on the analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation of instruction for all age levels. HRD can be described as a three-legged stool that focuses on training and development, career development and organizational development. Florida State University has a world class ISD program which is also available online at URL: http://saint.coe.fsu.edu/departments/epls/Instructional_Systems_Website/.
