Gagne (1988) refers to instructional strategies as the "bricks and mortar" of the "architecture" of the course (i.e. planning and analysis). Creating a strategy does not refer to the actual development of instructional material, but an outline or storyboard that outlines the instructional activities and how they will assist learners in accomplishing the objectives (Gagne, 1988). Dick, Carey, and Carey (2005) use the term Instructional Strategy to describe the process of sequencing and organizing content, specifying learning activities, and deciding how to structure and deliver content. They state that effective instructional strategies are based upon all the information accumulated as part of the instructional design report to this point.
