What Cultural and Contextual Challenges Influence Instructional Designers’ Design Decisions?

• In Event: Considering practioner environments

Short Description

While research has examined how instructional designers practice design in various contexts, few studies have explored the relationship between specific cultural/contextual factors and the decision-making of instructional designers as they apply prescriptive strategies. This session presents the findings of a study exploring how contextual factors influenced instructional designers as they made design decisions in a standardized scenario. Results and trends will be presented with recommendations for facilitating designer decision-making in the face of cultural/contextual challenges.
