Studies on instructional design models are explored in terms of journal of publication, In B. Wilson (Ed.), Constructivist Learning Environments (pp. Advanced methods in distance education: Applications and practices for educators. In addition, we will return to the traditionalist versus constructivist debate over what MDDE 604, Instructional Design in Distance Education or the equivalent. The ...

The emergent requirements for effective e-learning calls for a paradigm shift for instructional design. Constructivist theory and semiotics offer a sound underpinning to enable such revolutionary change by employing the concepts of Learning Objects. E-learning guidelines adopted by the industry have led successfully to the development of training materials. Inadequacy and deficiency of those me...

Traditionally, instructional design has adopted a behaviourist theoretical perspective, but with the influence of other major learning theories and the latest technological advances, cognitivist and constructivist perspectives have gained more predominance. Whichever approach we choose, if we want to take advantage of the web potential as an educational tool, we need to apply the basic componen...

Australian universities have traditionally relied on government funding to support undergraduate teaching. As the government has adopted the ‘user-pays’ principle, universities have been forced to look outside their traditional market to expand the undergraduate, post-graduate and international offerings. Alternate delivery methods in many universities have utilised web-based instruction as a b...

This article presents a model for designing student-centered, technology-rich learning environments (SCenTRLE). The model helps educators operationalize constructivist and student-centered approaches to teaching and learning by delimiting eight instructional events for facilitating knowledge construction and the development of life-long learners. The article describes theoretical and conceptual...

As the need for instructing a globalized workforce increases, instructional designers must embrace the constraints and the opportunities these projects provide in order to move the field of cross-cultural instructional design (ID) forward. Cross-cultural projects offer multiple avenues for growth in ID practice, overcoming cultural barriers, and a venue to apply and test contemporary models, me...

Constructivism is a learning theory that states that people learn by actively constructing their own knowledge, based on prior knowledge. A significant number of ICT-based constructivist learning systems have been proposed in recent years. A critical problem related to the design and use of this kind of systems has been the lack of a practical means to facilitate the instructional design proces...
