Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A volume in Educational Design and Technology in the Knowledge SocietySeries Editors Stewart Marshall and Wanjira KinuthiaPractitioners in the field of educational technology require a high level of problem solving, criticalthinking, and interpersonal skills to deal with learning issues that are often complex and multidimensional.Unfortunately, there are few opportunities for providers of learning services andlearners to practice authentic instructional design or educational technology as part of their academicpreparation and/or training.When learners interact with case studies through reasoning and problem solving, learning takesplace through the process of analysis, synthesis, application, and evaluation. In particular, casestudies that use story telling to reflect problem situations in real-life create an authentic learningenvironment for learners. This book provides the material that learners can use to interact, reason and apply their problem solving skillsin realistic and engaging cases.Because of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of the field and the cases, this book is useful not just in educationaltechnology, but also in other fields. A "Facilitator Guide" is provided for each chapter for teachers and trainers using this book withtheir learners.
