Design Heuristics in Academic, Corporate, and Military Instruction: More Similar than Different
Direct linkDirect link
York, Cindy S.; Ertmer, Peggy A. – Educational Technology, 2013
Despite the fact that the practice of instructional design (ID) began in the U. S. military (Branson et al., 1975; Jeffrey & Bratton-Jeffrey, 2004; Reiser, 2102), there is little known regarding which design and development heuristics military instructional designers deem important to the ID process. The study reported in this article was…

A Principle-Based Model of Instructional Design: A New Way of Thinking about and Teaching ID
Direct linkDirect link
Silber, Kenneth H. – Educational Technology, 2007
The author argues that Instructional Design (ID) is a problem-solving process, not a procedure, made up of a thinking process common to designers in many fields, and a set of well-accepted, underlying ID principles. This article presents a model of those principles. Further, it argues that teaching ID as a well-structured procedure is not helpful…

Using Distance Education to Teach Instructional Design to Preservice Teachers.
Martin, Barbara L. – Educational Technology, 1994
Compares factors required for a successful distance education course to requirements for designing a unit of instruction using instructional systems design (ISD). Application of these requirements to video teletraining is discussed to demonstrate that teaching ISD may be accomplished by teaching preservice teachers how to design a distance…

Instructional Design or Personal Heuristics in Classroom Instructional Planning.
Kennedy, Mary F. – Educational Technology, 1994
Discussion of instructional design and instructional development focuses on four studies conducted in Newfoundland that examined instructional development knowledge, competency, and use among teacher-librarians, secondary school teachers, and elementary school teachers. Results are reported that indicate teacher planning is done using personal…

Methodological Drawbacks of Current Educational Software and Suggestions for Radical Improvement Based on Algo-Heuristic Theory.
Landa, Lev N. – Educational Technology, 1998
After reviewing 50 educational software titles produced by 21 companies to assess how thinking and thinking skills were developed, the author found most had similar methodological drawbacks. Describes the algo-heuristic methodological position and outlines drawbacks of current software. (PEN)

Artificial Intelligence Techniques: Applications for Courseware Development.
Dear, Brian L. – Educational Technology, 1986
Introduces some general concepts and techniques of artificial intelligence (natural language interfaces, expert systems, knowledge bases and knowledge representation, heuristics, user-interface metaphors, and object-based environments) and investigates ways these techniques might be applied to analysis, design, development, implementation, and…
