Abstract:
This presentation explores the
evolution of instructional design models with a focus on three of the
newer models. A review of the assumptions and trends that underlie
these models will provide insights into the technical, organizational
and economic factors changing the role of educators and learners. The
implications for teaching and learning raise questions regarding the
skills needed for professionals, the funding of education/training, and
the skills needed by learners.
