Applying Instructional Design Theories to Bioinformatics Education in Microarray Analysis and Primer Design Workshops

Applying instructional design theories to bioinformatics education in microarray analysis and primer design workshops.

The need to support bioinformatics training has been widely recognized by scientists, industry, and government institutions. However, the discussion of instructional methods for teaching bioinformatics is only beginning. Here we report on a systematic attempt to design two bioinformatics workshops for graduate biology students on the basis of Gagne's Conditions of Learning instructional design ...

Applying Software Design Methodology to Instructional Design

The premise of this paper is that computer science has much to offer the endeavor of instructional improvement. Software design processes employed in computer science for developing software can be used for planning instruction and should improve instruction in much the same manner that design processes appear to have improved software. Techniques for examining the software development process ...

Applying learning theories and instructional design models for effective instruction.

Faculty members in higher education are involved in many instructional design activities without formal training in learning theories and the science of instruction. Learning theories provide the foundation for the selection of instructional strategies and allow for reliable prediction of their effectiveness. To achieve effective learning outcomes, the science of instruction and instructional d...

Applying Interactive Design Artifacts to Design Education

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI 2010, April 10–15, 2010. Atlanta, Georgia, USA ACM 978-1-60558-930-5/10/04. Abstract The role which “artifacts” play in design, and indeed the nature of such artifacts themselves are notably diverse. During a semester-long case study, we examined a variety of design artifacts and the ways they were able to impact the design process. Applying the kno...
