This document discusses the future of instructional systems design (ISD) in learning technologies. It summarizes how ISD has expanded from its original focus on higher education and corporations to now emphasize rapid design, development, and revision for varied audiences and technologies. Examples of emerging technologies that utilize ISD principles are discussed, including games, virtual environments, and mobile apps. The University of North Texas' Department of Learning Technologies is highlighted for its nationally recognized faculty and degree programs that integrate ISD approaches through student-centered research, coursework, and internships.
