Simplifying the Design of Lessons Using Communication Configurations

• In Event: D&D- Methodological Techniques for Instructional Designers (h)

Short Description

In the instructional design process, decisions about “selecting media and methods” are overly complicated by the lack of a coherent typology of teaching-learning arrangements. The proposed solution is to focus on the communication configuration (“who is doing what to whom”) needed to help learners through each phase of the learning process. Whether in-person or at-a-distance, learners need different conditions for different objectives and different phases of learning.
