Instructional Design for the Technological Learning Environment

Abstract

Education is constantly changing to not only meet the ever changing needs of the global business environment, but to also meet the needs of the students. The needs of the students are constantly changing because of technology and increasingly diverse backgrounds and cultures that change the ways education occurs. Studies have shown that the demands continue to grow for education to continue to transform to meet the needs of today's diverse technological learners. Faculty, teachers, and instructional designers must adapt to the evolution of the learning environment. The purpose of this chapter is to aid faculty and teachers in the design of curriculum for tomorrow's students, by adding them with the trial and error of the development phase. The two objectives are to aid in the development of instructional design along with further meeting the needs of our students and to help remove some of the trial and error in the development process.
