Audio-<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Audio books or "books on cd" have been around for a long time, but the audio books most related to mobile learning are those designed for reader users who have a problem with print. The <a href="http://www.daisy.org/daisy-technology" target="_blank">Daisy </a>format has been designed for those users and stands for "Digital Accessible Information
System" or Digital Talking Book.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The books are based upon the<a href="http://www.daisy.org/z3986/structure/SG-DAISY3/index.html" target="_blank"> Daisy Standards</a> and will support both text to speech and Braille output content in a <a href="http://www.daisy.org/multimedia" target="_blank">mixed media approach</a> for various readers and tablets.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Available Daisy formatted books can be found here as well as other sites listed on the Daisy site. Bookshare offers them free for qualifying students.</div>

<br />
As an ID, ISD or LISS, one of the areas that all learning designers need to address are the new discoveries in brain research that influence the cognitive learning processes. It is one of the areas that needs to be incorporated into all ID or LISS research studies in the future.<br />
<br />
Learning, psychological and systems theories are theories, but actual physiological research has shown some of them to be relevant and this needs to be incorporated into all planning for learning activities.<br />
<br />
This blog will address LISS activities in all phases, including media attributes, as well as the actual technological issues of using any new technology. It is vital to the future of ID that technology use be separated from the use of the term educational technology or instructional technology. AECT has changed names for the group in previous years and definitions of educational technology and instructional technology. However, the government has demoted the definition back to the use of technology in education with its NCLB act and academia has confused the terms for years. Its time to define new terms and new ideas that separate the processes, theories and ideals of learning experience design from the AV history which overshadows its changes during the last 25 years. As a starting point, I am going to call myself a LISS instead of an ID and see if anyone continues to confuse me with a button pushing, mouse clicking, PowerPoint using computer nerd that can show some one how to use the LCMS system to upload their antiquated PPT slides to the web.<br />
<br />
Instructional Technology or Educational Technology is not computers, it is not media. Those institutions which continue to use the term that way need to read the definitions of AECT over the last 40 years.<br />
<br />
Scientific American has released a new study about a specific region in the brain that is essential <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=controversial-theory-link">to the ability to read.</a><br />

The problem that I see is that there seems to be a confusion about what differentiates a learning design strategy from a learning delivery medium. Too often it seems people tend to confuse the two.<br /><br /> I have been looking at the term "instructional strategies" and then trying to find something that defines the characteristics of an instructional strategy vs the characteristics of the media delivery system. I have been less than satisfied with what I have found in the books and research papers.<br /><br /> Everyone talks about instructional strategies, but the actual process of defining the strategy and the composition of the strategies are nebulous sometimes. I know about designing for rules, procedures, etc., but the application of strategies in other than Gagne's 9 events doesn't appear to be well defined, especially for different domains.<br /><br /> Lots of folks appear to be using the term learning strategy, especially the military and related vendors, but a "learning strategy" is what the learner uses to organize information, procedures etc, to learn. That is not the same as an instructional strategy and a teaching/facilitation strategy. I have also seen a lot of "strategies" listed, that are more or less activities, not strategies. Some strategies can be used by both the learner as a learning method and the instructional strategy..like brainstorming.<br /><br /><br /> I went to the library and pulled out a bunch of "teaching" strategy books to see what they say. Teaching strategy.. to me-- is the on site application of the instructional strategy and being on the spot to use it. The instructional strategy should be the needs, content definition, circumstances and learners evaluated and integrated, a selection of delivery mode and learning mode that best fits the learners, content and circumstances, lesson plans, media if needed, delivery process, assessment and re-instruction/learning.. if necessary... all based on the objective outcome. Its more than just presenting content by direct instruction.<br /><br /> Where I am having the most difficulty is defining the difference in some of the terms that can be used in different ways. Ex..role playing is a strategy, but it is also a delivery mode, so at what point does it cease to be the strategy (what is included in the strategy characteristics?) and become just an activity/delivery mode?<br /><br /> Out of curiosity, I looked up "instructional strategy" in the old AECT glossary of terms from 1979 (newest one that they had in the library)- pg 76 it says:<br /><br /> "The overall approach to instruction to be incorporated in the instructional system or instructional product; it includes the types of system operation, format, stimuli, responses, feedback, generalities, instances, difficulty, mathmagenic information, approach, presentation-organization, sequence, scope, size of step, and pacing to be used."<br /><br /> I did not find any definition of what they meant by "system operation" when they wrote that glossary. "Format" means the materials medium and organization of the content.<br /><br /> So essentially, what the old one is saying is that a strategy has (Macro and Micro):<br /><br /> 1. system operation-<br /> 2. format<br /> 3. stimuli<br /> 4. responses<br /> 5. feedback<br /> 6. generalities<br /> 7. instances<br /> 8. difficulty<br /> 9. mathmagenic information<br /> 10. approach<br /> 11. presentation-organization<br /> 12. sequence<br /> 13. scope<br /> 14. size of step<br /> 15. and pacing<br /><br /> AND what is missing..assessment for understanding and learning goals, which I did not see in this definition. That should have been included. There is no indication of whether this was supposed to have been based on a descriptive or prescriptive process.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Bev's Learning and Instructional Design Base Camp for issues in learning design.</div>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03902036406434268534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20365379.post-73940193067503588132007-07-26T10:05:00.000-06:002007-07-31T11:09:54.400-06:00Technology Issues and Design Issues<span style="font-family: arial;">One of the many issues with the term "instructional technology" is that people confuse "instructional technology" or "educational technology" with "technology for education" tools at various times during the last 80 years such as computers, television, video, radio, and overhead transparencies .</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Instructional technology is the systematic design of learning situations, including instruction, delivery modes/mediums, environmental needs and modality concerns, evaluation. The design of the instruction includes the correct choice of a delivery medium, but the medium became the focus by those outside of the profession and the confusion become dominant.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Instructional_Technology</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This blog will, as stated earlier, be concerned with the actual uses and functioning of tools for media/modes, but consideration will be given to the characteristics of the tool that make it applicable to a learning situation, learning situation design and why. The term "instructional technology" will NOT be used when referring to these tools.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Tech Tour Year begins in August 2007 and will consider new tools, software and their possible uses such as:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Blogs</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Vlog</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Video</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Podcasting</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Wikis in several forms</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Design Software for Documents</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Graphics Design Software</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Web Design Software</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Authoring systems</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Content Management Systems</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Web 2.0 applications</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Open Source and Free software options</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Bev's Learning and Instructional Design Base Camp for issues in learning design.</div>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03902036406434268534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20365379.post-1146003978431729942006-04-25T16:20:00.000-06:002009-05-22T17:10:08.983-06:00Technology Issues and Design IssuesThe government has increased the problem of confusing "technology use in education" with educational technology or instructional technology.

This last year there was a lot of talk about using the technology for training and educational purposes. Using new technology always seems to be hard for some people to accept and the costs can be prohibitive for users, so I waited for the "kinks" to unravel. New technology can become another hill in the mountain range of learning (both for skills training and knowledge development)! I usually love my computer technology, but it is not and should not be the main focus. The outcome is what matters and sometimes "low-tech" is just as effective.<br /><br /><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">So...this is the Base Camp.<br /><br />The definition for base camp is found at http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Base_camp<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div> <span style="font-family:verdana;">It defines <span style="font-style: italic;">Base Camp</span> as a place to "</span> provide the starting point for a multiple day or week assault on climbing a mountain. <span style="font-style: italic;">Base camp</span> is used to store supplies that are carried to camps higher up on the mountain."<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The base camp will be stocked with basic information and resources on learning how to use the technologies, which are always changing! The technology will be used to apply current learning and instructional design knowledge in constructive, practical methods. When that has been achieved, an advanced base camp will be developed for LID applications..or so goes the dream!<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Bev's Learning and Instructional Design Base Camp for issues in learning design.</div>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03902036406434268534noreply@blogger.com
