Stefaniak, Jill; Xu, Meimei – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
The majority of instructional design models have directed focus on instructional design activities such as analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Criticisms regarding instructional design models have suggested that the use of these models provides instructional designers with a limited view of the design environment. This…

Regenold, Tracey A.; Murphy, Sheila E. – Distance Learning, 2020
Systems theory spans many disciplines and several decades. The field of biology has informed systems theory, according to von Bertalanffy (1972) and Boulding (1956), as an organizing principle of living beings. Extensions of this theoretical framework have led to the application of systems theory as systems thinking in a diverse array of…

Carr-Chellman, Davin J.; Carr-Chellman, Ali – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
This paper explores the role and history of systems theory and thinking in the fields of instructional/educational technology and design. The foundations of ID/ET as fields are rich in behavioral, systematic, and positivist notions of process, but we assert that it is weaker in the reflective, thoughtful, deep and meaningful orientations. Woven…

Lockee, Barbara B.; Bond, M. Aaron; McGowin, Brooke Marton; Blevins, Samantha J. – Distance Education, 2022
Factors that drive delivery mode decisions are multifaceted and often necessarily go beyond instructional design needs. Additional influencing factors include logistical, technical, and policy considerations. The COVID-19 pandemic illuminated the many opportunities and challenges that accompany the chosen distance delivery mode, prompting the need…

Weiner, Steven; Warr, Melissa; Mishra, Punya – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
A core element of systems thinking is perspective taking. Perspectives help people distinguish between salient and irrelevant information, take particular types of actions, and make sense of the world. In this article, we consider what systems thinking and perspective taking means for designers in education. First, we present a framework,…

Howard, Sarah K.; Thompson, Kate; Yang, Jie; Ma, Jun – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
There has been extensive investigation into factors affecting digital technology integration in learning and teaching, but the complexity of integration continues to elude understanding. Thus, questions about how digital technologies can be best used to support learning persist. This paper argues that methods designed to address complex systems…

Zacamy, Jenna; Roschelle, Jeremy – Digital Promise, 2022
Digital learning platforms (DLPs) are beginning to become open to research. Specifically, in our work in SEERNet, developers are extending five platforms, each used in either K-12 or higher education by more than 100,000 users, to enable third-party researchers to explore, develop, and test improvements. SEERNet seeks to enable equity-relevant…
