I use this site to share my views on the technology of designing instruction. The site has links to summaries and excerpts from my writing that I hope you will find useful and thought-provoking. References to copyrighted published works are included, and some unpublished writings are included in full. I am interested in your feedback and comments. I have tried to arrange the ideas into a kind of narrative that provides a beginning point for discussion.

My areas of research are:



Design of Computer-Based Instruction



Model-Centered Instruction: A Theory of Instruction and Design



A Layered View of Instructional Designs



The Practice of Instructional Technology



Instructional Design and Development Tools
