In this study, the instructional design process in three-dimensional multi-user virtual environments (3D MUVEs) based on a problem-based learning approach was examined and authentic design experiences were shared. Besides, a design model was proposed to guide people who want to design these 3D MUVEs and to use these environments for educational…

This development research aims to describe the working concept of EMC with VPE valuation method. The EMC quality is based on following aspects:(1) valid according to experts;(2) practical according to practitioners; and (e) effective based on students ability test. The developed cycles and procedures refer to the ADDIE model (analysis, design,…

Design of instruction is an important feature in teacher education at fulfilling the needs of 4Cs ("critical thinker," "communicator," "collaborator," "creator") developing "a globally competitive learners". As Instructional design models (ID) need to move from adopting a standard approach to…

The purpose of this study is to present an analysis of how the structure and design of the Interactive 3D Graphics Learning Objects can be effective and efficient in terms of Performance, Time on task, and Learning Efficiency. The study explored two treatments, namely whole versus Part Presentations of the Interactive 3D Graphics Learning Objects,…

Considers whether current definitions of interactivity in educational software are optimal and suggests a new model of interaction based on how learners interact mentally with new schema and on educational psychology. Discusses knowledge acquisition; production, or the creation of new knowledge; collaboration; and applying the learning interaction…

Article describes a comprehensive model for the selection of instructional media in the context of technical/vocational education. (Author)

Discusses instructional design and the integration of computer-assisted learning (CAL) into corporate training. Topics include the social context of learning in models of instructional design, and CAL as a substitute for other instructional media, as an enrichment, and as an organizational innovation. (LRW)

To assist planners of instructional media systems, a combination of analytical and synthetical processes are being devised. This "kit of tools" is really a model of Instructional System Design, not a model of any particular instructional system. The policy-making process is displayed in a table and then explained. The communication media to be…

A presentation of helpful techniques for those who design and develop educational games. (HB)

Discusses the necessity for an integrated model for the design of media use in an educational context to ensure value in the design, application, and delivery of learning programs. The model is based on a media design strategy developed at the University of South Africa.(LRW)

This examination of the Air Force instructional development model begins by presenting the history of instructional development in the Air Force and providing reasons for the adoption of the instructional systems development (ISD) process. Each step of the ISD process is explained, and supporting forms and diagrams are provided. The steps…

Presents a model for instructional media design, adapted from the theoretical model and viewed to work well with reasonable effort and time. An example of the model in use is provided to give evidence of reasonableness. Outlines of both the theoretical and adapted models are provided. (MP)

Focuses on decisionmaking about delivery media, and introduces CADDI's Performance-based, Accelerated, Customer-Stakeholder-driven Training & Development(SM) (PACT) Processes for training and development (T&D). Describes the media decisions that correspond with the design three levels of PACT: Curriculum Architecture Design, Modular Curriculum…

This symposium paper is concerned with curriculum theory and development and the place of curriculum theory within the area of instructional technology. It first identifies the central questions of curriculum (e.g., what should we teach?) and discusses the implications of the resulting issues: (1) why should we teach this rather than that? (2) who…
