Module 5: Costing Educational Media and Technologies: E-learning
This module covered more recent Internet based technologies. Professor Huelsmann’s chart highlighting the different types of e-learning and how it impacts the cost structure of DE made a lot of sense to me.
I had discussed that Dr. Laurillard’s (2011) video presentation on how teachers can become better by using an engineer’s approach to education technology made me think of Dr. Peter’s theory on the industrialization of DE. It could be because she was referencing “engineers” and “frameworks” in her presentations.
Her idea of a Learning Designing Support Environment (LDSE) or a microworld for teachers to collaborate and have learning design tools is innovative and logical. In looking at the LDSE, it gave me insight on what teachers have to do in the planning of their courses with a pedagogy framework.
After watching Dr. Laurillard’s video, it made me wonders if teachers were to become more involved with the learning designing of a course, would this eliminate the role of the instructional designer.
