Design for instructions is a key element to carry out the theme teachingin the information technology environment. In the study, which took a lot of literatureresearch and case design, we have proposed the process and strategic of thematicinstructional design in the information technology environment. There are the main contents of this study:The first chapter described the research background,research status quo,problem,the content,the purpose and significance of research,and research ideas and methods.The second chapter described concepts and features about thematic instructionand thematic instructional design;analysis of theoretical basis of thematicInstructional Design and their guidance for instructional design guidance;at the sametime,analysis of support provided by information technology environment to thethematic instructional design of university,and summarizes the principles of thematicinstructional design in the information technology environment.The third chapter,by analyzing the basic program of thematic instrucion and thethematic instructional design provided by the domestic and foreign scholars,combinedwith theories related with the instructional system design,teaching in colleges anduniversities understandded by on-site lectures and interviews as well as experience ofthematic instructional design and put forward process framework and theme-baseddesign strategy.universities'the thematic instructional design in the informationtechnology environment.The forth chapter, summarizes and analyzes the process of Thematic InstrutionalDesign to design about "Web in Education"course on "Online Education SupportTools" topic;evaluates and analyzes the thematic instructional design program.The fifth chapter,summarizes the findings and pointed out the direction forfurther research.
