Introduction • Objective • Analyze model-driven software engineering approach for… • Customizing high-level generation of LDs • Adapting LDs • Agenda • Related work • Systematic Instructional Design • Instructional Engineering • Issues • Exploring Model-Driven approach • Conclusions
Systematic Instructional Design • Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) • “IDT encloses the analysis of learning problems, as well as design, development, assessment and management of processes and resources intended to improve learning. IDT professionals often use systematic ID procedures and employ a variety of instructional media to accomplish their goals” [Reiser & Dempsey, 2002] • Related work on systematic IDT • R.D. Tennyson, A. E. Barro (1995): Automating instructional design: Computer-based development and delivery tools, Springer, 1995. • Paquette et al.

Instructional Engineering (IE) • Definition of IE: • “A method that supports the analysis, the design and the delivery of a learning system, integrating the concepts, the processes and the principles of instructional design, software engineering and cognitive engineering” [Paquette, 2002] • Related work • CEM method L. Uden: “An engineering approach for online learning”, Journal of Distance Engineering Education, 1(1) • MISA Method Paquette et al.

Some IE Issues • Issue 1: Different models • Different roles provide design specifications pertaining to different models • Issue 2: Different levels of abstraction • Any role can provide design specifications with different levels of abstraction • Issue 3: Different contexts • Learning objects and services are useful for specific learning contexts (they are not instructionally universal) • Issue 4: Different concerns • Pedagogy is the same, but learning topic is different • Learning topic is the same, but pedagogy is different

Conclusion “The machine has been delegated a problem which is and remains primarily a teaching problem“, interview with Prof. R. Maragliano, elearningeuropa.info, 23 Aug 2004. • MD instructional engineering • It is not about (fully) automated instructional design • It deals with different levels of automation • Model-driven considers… • different levels of abstraction of specifications • different models/domains • separate context-specific issues • separate pedagogical issues
