摘要：The purpose of the study is to discuss e-learning design strategies which can be used for multimedia projects as a design model. Recent advances in instructional technologies have been found to be very important in the design of training courses by using rapid instructional design (ID) approaches. The approaches were developed to use in training and developing e-learning projects as well as multimedia design tools. For this reason, this paper will clarify the basic e-learning development techniques, such as ID processes, and the present innovative multimedia design models in addition to traditional instruction design models. In this approach, rapid course development techniques were presented and considered as other ways of e-learning design techniques, such as job training, rapid synchronous e-learning, rapid asynchronous e-learning and online learning with multimedia design models. In the literature, developments in and considerations of multimedia learning are scrutinized. To design effective, efficient and engaging multimedia learning environments, instructional and meaningful e-learning models, which can be defined as integrated e-learning and multimedia projects design models, were developed and discussed. In this paper, firstly, rapid e-learning training development strategies and their characteristics are defined. Secondly, ID systems’ stages are presented as a generic model that includes several phases, such as analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. In this process, these ID phases were adapted into e-learning and multimedia learning design by using ID models and approaches. As a result, the paper is based on research findings and resources in the field of instructional technologies and e-learning design tools for multimedia learning in order to indicate rapid instructional development strategies more effectively.
