This study investigates the instructional designers (IDs) competencies essential for the context of online higher education, and has selected an instruction design unit in a research university as a case of investigation. To identify and compare IDs competencies at organizational and individual levels, this study employed a mixed method to collect…

The term "learning design" is used in this paper to refer to the process of designing effective learning experiences for a variety of contexts: in the classroom or laboratory, in the field, online and via standalone packages using a range of media. Learning design involves a wide set of knowledge, skills and competencies, including:…

In the past, engineering programmes were developed with separate technical learning outcomes supplemented by generic attributes. The latter were in most cases a standalone set of attributes developed by academic institutions or professional societies overseeing engineering accreditation processes. Although the technical learning outcomes were well…

The aim of this article is to clarify the university teacher roles and competencies in online learning environments, with a view to assisting in the design of professional development activities. This referential framework results from an extensive review of the literature and from analysing professional development designed in different European…

Article presents a scheme that provides a common framework for viewing task analysis. (Author)

Techniques were developed for designing instruction for discipline-based curriculum areas. The approach integrated aspects of previous work in behavioral objectives, the structure of knowledge, learning hierarchies, and information-processing psychology and made explicit their relations to instructional design. Three kinds of analysis were…

A model is described for developing instructional programs in teacher education that is based on an analysis of the system of teacher education. (Author)

Article proposes a specific technique, the use of simple index cards, which have been called Lippert Cards, to facilitate the process of analysis and synthesis in instructional design. (Author)

The structure of knowledge in a particular subject-matter discipline and the structure of behavior in a given task-skill domain are often regarded as unrelated or even antithetical bases for the systematic design of instructional products and procedures. This volume documents progress toward a methodology of instructional design founded on the…

Discussed is the process of hierarchical task analysis (a tool used to decide what to teach and when to teach it) as it relates to the setting of instructional goals and objectives. (BD)

A discussion of the role of task analysis in theory of instruction and theory of learning set within the broader context of theory of knowledge. (HB)

The first step in engineering the instruction of dental psychomotor skills, task analysis, is explained. A chart details the procedural, cognitive, desired-criteria, and desired-performance analysis of a single task, occlusal preparation for amalgam restoration with carious lesion. (MSE)

The authors argue against the current view of task analysis which assumes that learning is a univariant process. They feel that learning is a multivariant process and that task analysis should also take into consideration an analysis of the learning task, the cognitive processes which affect the acquisition of the learning task, and the learner's…

This article is an attempt to assist professors of school administration in the planning of their instructional activities. Its purpose is to present a planning framework by which the type and level of learning desired can be matched with the most appropriate, feasible, and effective processes for attaining that learning. A model is presented for…
