In the November/December 1998 issue of Arts Education Policy Review, I introduced readers to the concept of design-based education and a study that I coauthored for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) on the ways design is being used by American teachers in a variety of subjects. The article recounted the success that teachers have in using the methods of architects, industrial designers,...

Instructional Design for Distance Learning. Distance In fact, museum education is based on constructivist learning theory. Museums Constructivism, instructional design, and technology: implications for transforming distance education. The second principle of constructivist design theory is active learning. In an active learning With distance education in Tam, M. (2000). Constructivism, instruct...

There is a feeling among many design educators today that the discipline has reached a crisis in its development, and that change is needed immediately in the way that design educators articulate their epistemology and their methodology. The architectural studio can be seen as the model for design education, and its culture is exemplary. Donald Schön has often argued that the professional educa...

The rise of the Internet and the rapid development of long distance communication technologies have made easy for people all over the world to work together. Global information and communication technology platform allowed more people to collaborate, share knowledge and work flexible, efficient and with low costs. Based on the benefits and challenges of virtual teams, the paper debates some pra...

For more than two decades, intensive worldwide MEMS research and development have led to widespread applications of MEMS-based devices in consumer, industrial, and military products. Harnessing of MEMS technology enabled the birth of pressure sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, print heads, optical switches for rapid communications and, recently, the bio-chips for life science applications. Su...

This paper focuses on interaction design for multimodal software in affective education. We suggest how multimodal systems can help us, and give a proposal for how to design the systems. These are demonstrations of how the MADE framework can be applied to well-known design techniques. Our goal is to come up with human-computer interaction (HCI) design guidelines for systems to support affective...
