Instructional Models in Computer-Based Learning Environments

In the last decade there have been rapid developments in the
field of         computer-based learning environments. A whole new
generation of                  computer-based learning environments has
appeared, requiring new approaches to design and
development. One main feature of current systems is               that
they distinguish different knowledge bases that are assumed
to be   necessary to support learning processes. Current
computer-based learning      environments often require explicit
representations of large bodies of         knowledge, including
knowledge of instruction.
This book focuses on      instructional models as explicit,
potentially implementable representations of knowledge
concerning one or more aspects of instruction. The book            has
three parts, relating to different aspects of the knowledge
that      should be made explicit in instructional models:
knowledge of instructional planning, knowledge of
instructional strategies, and knowledge of               instructional
control. The book is based on a NATO Advanced                        Research
Workshop held at the University of Twente, The Netherlands
in   July 1991.
