The critical, relational practice of instructional design in higher education: an emerging model of change agency

Abstract: This paper offers an emerging interpretive framework for understanding the active role instructional designers play in the transformation of learning systems in higher education. A 3-year study of instructional designers in Canadian universities revealed how, through reflexive critical practice, designers are active, moral, political, and influential in activating change at interpersonal, professional, institutional and societal levels.

“…Learning design provided or mediated by specialist learning designers is one possible means by which staff might be apprenticed into a teaching culture of social constructivism. According to Campbell, Schwier, and Kenny (2009), learning design has the potential to transform institutional teaching practice. The very kind of learning that universities aim to provide studentsauthentic, real life, cognitively demanding and embedded in social experience -in other words, in accordance with social constructivist principles, exists when learning designers work collaboratively with their clients (Campbell et al, 2009).…”

The very kind of learning that universities aim to provide studentsauthentic, real life, cognitively demanding and embedded in social experience -in other words, in accordance with social constructivist principles, exists when learning designers work collaboratively with their clients (Campbell et al, 2009). In the university context, with learning designers working with lecturers, effective e-learning environments could be created and through this process, lecturers could experience learning built upon social constructivist principles.…”

“…In recognizing the role that we play in (re)focusing educational discussions on the pedagogical considerations and human agency that can inform technological affordances, I am also reminded of Campbell, Schwier, and Kenny's (2009) for investigating anew such complex relationships among and between age groups, and within various educational contexts.
