Simulation is a unique learning environment, as it allows participants to experience critical care interventions in a ‘safe’ environment. A good understanding of educational theory and instructional design is required to ensure meaningful learning is experienced. Simulation allows a variety of learning theories to be applied due to the wide variety and complexity of the clinical situations pres...

Many Australian tertiary institutions provide support for academic staff in the design and development of online teaching and learning resources, often employing a centralised unit staffed with educational and instructional designers, multimedia and online developers, audio/video producers and graphic artists. It is not unusual for these units to have evolved from print-based distance education...

Thisarticle describes critical design ethnography, an ethnographic process in­ volvingparticipatory design workaimed at transforming a local contextwhile producing an instructional design that can beused in multiplecontexts. Here, we reflect on the opportunities and challenges that emerged as we built local critiques thenreified them intoadesignedartifact thathasbeen implemented in classrooms a...

Instructional designers are expected to be familiar with the epistemological underpinnings of several theories and their consequences on the process of instruction. Constructivism is the dominant theory of the last decade and supports construction of knowledge by the individual. This paper discusses the basic principles underlying constructivism, particularly active, collaborative and authentic...

1 Ian Douglas, Florida State University, Learning Systems Institute, Suite 109, Morgan Building, Innovation Park, Tallahassee, Fl 32306, [email protected] Abstract  There is currently a lot of interest in the concept of learning objects. Learning objects are discrete units of learning resources based on agreed standards. The idea behind learning objects is to promote greater reuse of resour...

Nowadays, the e-learning industry is focused on producing and managing digital learning contents. There are several examples of learning objects, content packages or metadata proposed by different organizations such as IMS, IEEE or ADL. However, little attention has been paid to the specification and management of instructional processes, teaching strategies and learning activities. These issue...

Simulation physics, as a mode of instructional applications, in physics teaching has been widely used. So instructional design of simulation physics experiments is particularly important problems. This paper focuses on the simulation experiments design in teaching and learning

The complexity of design for Web-based course requires the incorporation of instructional design principles. However, majority of the existing models were not adequate to address the needs of Web-based learning. This project therefore stems from the fact that a specific Instructional Design model is needed to guide designers in developing Web-based courses. A study was conducted in a multimedia...

1. Der angloamerikanische Begriff "Instructional Design" wird in der Fachliteratur als systematische Planung, Konzeption und Durchgestaltung aller Aspekte des Lehrens und Lernens auf der Grundlage empirischer Forschungsergebnisse definiert. Das Ziel und das Ergebnis des Instructional Designs sind Regeln und Verfahrensvorschriften, die dem Lehrenden Hilfestellungen aufzeigen, unter welchen Vorau...
