Yerbury, Hilary; And Others – Education for Information, 1991
Description of how an abstract element of information provision--information service and product design--was made concrete to a class of undergraduate students highlights barriers to their understanding and shows how a tutorial activity helped them to overcome some of these and gave their tutors a greater appreciation of the students' strengths…

Ruben, Brent D.; Lederman, Linda Costigan – Simulation and Games, 1982
Outlines a research framework, in which emphasis is placed upon validity, reliability, and utility, for the systematic evaluation of simulation and gaming instruments and suggests how this framework can be employed in the selection and use of instructional simulations and games. Three tables accompany the text. (Author/JL)

Laaser, Wolfrom – Distance Education, 1986
Provides a rough classification of three basic design aspects of audiocassette production in a distance education framework: dramaturgical design; didactic functions or teaching objectives; and reciprocal relations to other media and students' activities. It is concluded that audiocassettes can be very effective and powerful when developed to…

Cole, Michael; And Others – 1983
A group of American and Japanese psychologists, anthropologists, linguists, and computer scientists gathered at the University of California, San Diego, to exchange ideas on models of joint problem solving and their special relevance to the design and implementation of computer-based systems of instruction. Much of the discussion focused on…

Harvey, Wayne – 1985
Designed to address the management and use of computer software in education and training, this paper explores both good and poor software design, calling for improvements in the quality of educational software by attending to design considerations that are based on general principles of learning rather than specific educational objectives. This…

Bond, Max; Broches, Paul – Journal of Architectural Education, 1981
An interview with Max Bond, Professor of Architecture at Columbia University, is presented. Minority architects, social architecture, history and architecture, craftsmanship, quality in building, the design process, and architectural education are discussed. Architecture schools, it is suggested, should put more emphasis on the architect's place…

Haughey, Margaret – 1983
Since 1978, the University of Victoria has offered courses to students in British Columbia, using an interactive satellite delivery system. During that time both the system and the course design have become more sophisticated. Principles underlying program design include focusing on the learner and communication with learners, and basing televised…

Svensson, Lars; Ostlund, Christian – Educational Technology & Society, 2007
Distance Educational Practice is today supported by a range of information systems (IS) design theories. Still, there are surprisingly few strong pedagogical ideas and constructs that are communicated across distance educational institutions. Instead it is often the technology, the software and the medium that is at the centre of attention as we…
