The ever-changing digital context, digital habits and pressures, demands and practices, often contribute to online learners experiencing burnout, stress, fatigue, sleep deprivation, cognitive overwhelm, and work-life imbalance, just to mention a few issues identified in literature. With the rise of online learning offerings, an increasing number…

This instructional design case describes the author's process for creating an augmented reality learning experience for library instruction at an academic library. With no budget, no team, and little experience with this type of technology, this design case describes the development of an instructional design utilizing emerging technologies. It…

The University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences, Office of Interprofessional Education designed and implemented an innovative interprofessional education (IPE) Honors program, the first in the United States, in the Summer of 2019.

The Master's of Business Administration (MBA) degree is a long-standing, globally recognised qualification for aspiring business leaders. Yet, the qualification has changed little over its history, despite substantial changes in the role and practice of business. Notwithstanding much introspection, many MBA programmes have not been transformed.…

For the past two decades, there has been persistent debate around whether there is a difference between the fields of instructional design (ID) and learning design (LD). While differences in the two approaches are certainly apparent, there are cross-over points that can provide ID and LD researchers and practitioners with opportunities for…

Development of Russian society puts forward new requirements for the quality of training in higher educational institutions. It is necessary for a short period of training in the higher educational institution not only to transfer to student's important professional knowledge and skills, but also to form the ability and willingness to use them…

This paper undertakes an analysis of the "smart school" as a building that both senses and manages bodies through sensory data. The authors argue that smart schools produce a situation of ubiquitous sensation in which learning environments are continuously sensed, regulated, and controlled through complex sensory ecosystems and data…

The research field of Learning Design (LD) has been active for some time now, but several questions remain open for the scientific community. In particular, the article tackles issues that have been core concerns in LD over the years: (1) how to support the different phases of the LD process; (2) what representations should be used in the various…

The historical landscape of science reminds us that researchers have always faced the challenge of defining the subject matter of the object of inquiry. If we expand the map of our journey across the fields yielding scientific knowledge, we will discover a largely similar picture. It is quite obvious that the definition design objective will…

An important element of good design, instructional or otherwise, is awareness of and being empathetic to the needs, wants, interests, values, and opinions of the intended audience. Typical approaches to learning about the subjective viewpoints of a particular audience have included survey instruments based on Likert-type items and open-ended…

Using the Aspen Young Leaders Fellowship as a case study, the authors assert that leadership educators have a responsibility to apply critical perspectives to their work with evidence-based practice, which involves interrogating assumptions as well as reconstructing pedagogical and design practices to increase equity in leadership education.

While design of artefacts plays a large role in mathematics education, in this paper we argue that this is not reflected in mathematics education research. Design may only be considered for publication as an appendix for or as a result of empirical research. We argue that this development, which is in line with the fading of subject-matter…

Continuity and change have become crucial themes for the built environment and heritage buildings; also in the education and practice of architects. Embedding built heritage values into studio-based design education is a daunting new challenge that demands new didactic perspectives and tools. To address the dilemmas that come with design…

Results of numerous studies indicate that metacognition plays a significant role in students' design education. Despite the growing number of studies on the role of metacognition, the nature of metacognitive processing in design education and how metacognitive strategies contribute to students' design are not well understood. Thus, the main…

The Professors of Instructional Design and Technology (PIDT) recently celebrated its 35th year. The meeting of this organization, typically referred to as an "unconference," offers intimate and informal conversations among faculty on matters that are impacting the field of instructional design and technology. This article discusses the…
