Key Design Principles
Hank Bowman (Chief Sales and Marketing Office, Adapt Courseware) recently gave a presentation at the New Directions in Online Learning conference. His presentation was focussed on introducing Adapt Courseware to the audience, and the underlying design philosophy of the company. One particular slide caught my eye, and this was the five gurus they looked to for Key Design Principles. This is a particularly useful cheat sheet for anyone in the field of online learning and instructional design:
Key Design Principles
- Multimedia Design: Dr. Richard Meyer
- Optimal Challenge: Dr. James Paul Gee
- Mastery Learning: Dr. Benjamin Bloom
- Student Choice: Dr. Edward Deci
- Social Learning: Dr. Lev Vygotsky
