Integrative Learning Design Framework for Online Learning
Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application (Dabbagh & Bannan-Ritland), 2005, Pearson.
My preferred Learning Framework is the Integrative Learning Design Framework put forth by Dr. Dabbagh and Dr. Bannan-Ritland in their text, Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application (Dabbagh & Bannan-Ritland, 2005). I prefer it because it emphasizes the iterative nature of the design process, is flexible, and can be used formally or informally.
This process is not done in isolation but requires interaction and communication with others on an ongoing basis. It values the perspectives, experience and background of the designer as part of the input, which is not acknowledged by other learning frameworks. Technical affordances and constraints within the specific project context are understood to be part of the design process; the social and cultural context are considered because all learning is influenced by social situation and context.
The three phases of the development in Integrative Learning Design Framework are:
1. Exploration phase: Investigating, collecting, and documenting relevant information, including the individual/collective perspectives on learning of the designers and others involved in the process.
2. Enactment phase: Applying information gathered in the previous phase to a well-selected pedagogical model, to craft efficacious instructional strategies online.
3. Evaluation phase: Choosing and implementing purpose, results and evaluation methods with formative evaluation and revision that produce more effective learning. This phase of the cycle then returns to the exploration phase, with the online learning developer at the center of the cycle. The designer's knowledge base increases as part of the process, and is included in it.
After taking EDIT 732 & 752, which incorporates user experience research, evaluation and revisions into the instructional design process, I drew a framework which places a UX system process inside the instructional design ADDIE model. This is the framework I plan to use, along with the above Integrative framework, in any subsequent projects. (Team roles may vary, these are examples.)
Essentially, user data from the most practical method of research is used as well as subject matter expert input. This continues to be a primary factor as the UX process interweaves in the ADDIE model. Contextual data, data extraction, storyboarding, personae, conceptual design, ideation, wireframes, and multiple prototype iterations for any instructional design prototype is included in this framework. This graphic could also be the basis for a workflow progress bar in a combined UX-ID joint project.
