Computer-Based Tools for Instructional Design: An Introduction
to the Special Issue

pdf |

Modern
instructional theories are characterized by their focus on rich, multidisciplinary
and often collaborative learning tasks that are somehow representative
for authentic, real life tasks. This new view on learning heavily
increases the complexity of the design process and the re sulting
instructional systems. It is argued that computer-based instructional
design (ID) tools may help to deal with this growing complexity. A
framework to distinguish different kinds of ID tools is presented.
This framework is then used to introduce the contributions to this
special issue. |

Designing a Digital Instructional Management System to Optimize
Early Education

The
individualization of curriculum features and the matching of those
features with learner characteristics (optimization) may help to stimulate
learning processes, in particular for children at risk. In a pilot
study in two Dutch kindergartens, specific individualization and optimization
conditions were codeveloped with teachers and school management. In
order to realize the desired changes, a prototype of a digital instructional
management system called the Digital Planning Board was developed,
implemented and evaluated. Future research aims at the further development
of a pedagogical-didactic kernel structure, integrating instructional
management software in new instructional practices. |

This
paper examines research on a family of computer-based tools, CASCADE
(Computer ASsisted Curriculum Analysis, Design and Evaluation), designed
to assist in the complex task of curriculum development. It begins
with discussion of curriculum developers and their activities, followed
by examination of how the computer can offer support for their tasks.
The main elements of four related systems for computer supported curriculum
development are discussed and approaches to designing tools of this
nature are considered. Following an overview of main findings, this
article concludes with thoughts on fruitful directions for research
on computer supported curriculum development, emphasizing the need
for increased attention to implementation and impact studies. |

Knowledge Management Tools for Instructional Design

Advances
in computer technology typically find their way into education after
a short generation of success in other settings. This is an elaboration
of one such technology-knowledge management systems (KMS)-and its
application to instructional design. An examination of the development
of KMS from information systems, computer-supported collaborative
work environments and object-oriented systems, leads to a discussion
of reusability. The focus is on the use of KMS by instructional
designers. A conceptual framework for distributed instructional
design is provided along with examples of support tools. These tools
and the associated design framework are in use, and anecdotal evidence
of effects and impact is provided. As such tools become more widely
used to support the planning, implementation and management of instructional
systems and learning environments, it is reasonable to expect the
nature of instructional design practice to change.

ADAPTIT: Tools for Training Design and Evaluation

This
article describes a set of computerized tools that support the design
and evaluation of competency-based training programs. The training
of complex skills such as air traffic control and process control
requires a competency-based approach that focuses on the integration
and coordination of constituent skills and transfer of learning. At
the heart of the training are authentic whole-task practice situations.
The instructional design tools are based on van Merriënboer's 4C/ID*
methodology (1997). The article describes a training design tool (Core)
that supports the analysis and design for competency-based training
programs and an evaluation tool (Eval) that supports the subsequent
revision of this training design. |

This article
critiques the instructional design tools described in the special issue
of Educational Technology Research and Development, Volume 50 Number 4,
"Computer-Based Tools for Instructional Design." Although focusing on four
tools, (a) digital management systems, (b) CASCADE, (c) knowledge management
systems, and (d) ADAPTIT, the author also comments on the introductory article
(van Merriënboer and Martens), and compares the four described tools with
earlier models. |
