Participants' Views
"After working for more than 5 years
in BPO and ePublishing industries, I wanted to switch my
career to elearning. I was looking for reputed institutes
in the country to get trained in Instructional Design. After
much research I found Creative Agni in Noida. I did not
hesitate to travel to Noida to take the Instructional Design
and Content Development (IDCD) course. I am really glad
that I underwent this training. Shafali's vast experience
and her effective training methods as well as the concept
and project assignments were the highlight of the program.
This training program will be very beneficial for all who
want to excel in the elearning industry."

"I had heard about the IDCD course
from one of my colleagues. Since then I was interested in
joining the course, and fortunately I got the chance to
join it. After completing the course, I find it even more
useful than what I had expected it to be. The course gave
me a new vision and a new perspective towards designing
and developing courses. I have learnt of many new things,
which are really important in content writing and course
design. The classroom interactions, assignments, quizzes,
and discussions helped me hone my writing skills and creativity.
It was really fabulous - a rich learning experience. I have
learnt not only instructional design, but also a lot of
other things on personal level during the course.
The course was very engaging, interactive
and informative from all perspectives. I had not imagined
that a course could be so interesting. All the credit goes
to the Instructor, Shafali Ma'am. She is a mentor in the
real sense. She made things easy to understand by providing
relevant examples and analogies. She has designed the IDCD
course brilliantly. I feel proud to be a part of this course
and heartily thank her for giving me a chance to take up
this course.
This course is a wonderful platform for
all the ID aspirants and I wish Creative Agni and Shafali
Ma'am all the success. Please keep up the good work."

"I had no idea a two-month course
could be so rich a learning experience. However, I was in
for a pleasant surprise - not only was it a rich learning
experience, it opened so many doors all at once! Instructional
design is much, too much in demand right now as the scope
in the field of e-learning is limitless. IDCD happened to
take two months of my full attention in order to deliver
me ready and raring to go and explore the countless doors
that have opened for me. The course is extremely well-designed.
I have never seen a more dynamic and prepared teacher than
Shafali Ma'm, to whom I would like to extend all the credit
and gratefulness I feel after completing the course. Thank
you for the powerful, interactive classes, the discussions
at the discussion forum and all the fun assignments which
ingrained instructional design in my mind."

"I feel that the IDCD course is great
and it is one of the best learning experiences I ever had.
I have enjoyed the course. Through this course I have learned
about e-learning. The course has also motivated me to improve
my writing skills. The IDCD course has given me a clear
understanding of Instructional Design (imparting learning
effectively).
The best thing about this course is that
whatever I learned, I was asked to apply in the assignments
and the project.
I’m thankful to Shafali for providing
such an excellent course. I would recommend this course
to anyone who wants to become an Instructional Designer."

"The IDCD course was a great learning
experience. I was exploring a new career option after a
10 years experience as a marketing coordinator and ID was
one of the options that I was looking at. After discussing
with Shafali I decided to take up the course as I did not
have any elearning background. The 8 weeks programme removed
my doubts and confusions about my choice of taking up the
IDCD course. I did not just learn the various learning theories
but was also able to map them to my personal experiences.
The excellent course content and continuous motivation by
Shafali has made even somebody like me, who is completely
new to the elearning industry, confident of being able to
pursue a career in instructional design."
