Designing Online Learning with Flash

About This Book Why is this topic important? Education in all realms is being transformed by online learning. Online learning breaks down barriers of distance and time and has proven to be an effective method for instruction. How-ever, online learning has largely been limited to methods that require enormous investments of instructor time. In other words, instructor-centric online learning methods do not scale well and, so far, gains in efficiency have been limited. However, tools, such as Adobe Flash™ allow you to develop online learning instruction that interacts with the learner and can reduce the burden on online instructors. The key to taking advantage of this tool is to a apply a set of instructional design strategies designed specifically for online learning with Flash, and that is what you will find in this text. What can the reader achieve with this book? There are plenty of generic instructional design books on the shelves, and there are plenty of generic Flash books available. What you will not find is another text like this one, one that introduces instructional design that is specifically designed to be used with Flash. By working through this text, you will learn about specific instructional design strategies for using Flash to present information to the learner and specific strategies for interacting with the learner. You will also learn the most useful Flash techniques for building this type of online learning. With the knowledge of the tools and techniques presented in this text, readers will be well on their way to creating effective online instruction. How is this book organized? The book begins with an instructional design model that focuses on planning, presentation and practice. The importance of each stage of this model being consistent with the others is stressed. The author next presents a series of instructional strategies that align and are consistent with the human memory system. The author then applies those strategies to the learning domains: facts, concepts, principles, and procedures. Once the strategies have been introduced, the author provides a review of the most useful Flash techniques for online learn-ing. The book concludes with an example of an instructional application that demonstrates the selection of appropriate design strategies and Flash techniques. By this method you will advance your instructional design and Flash skills simultaneously. Professional instructors can access an Instructor’s Guide and Flash guides (posted online at www.wiley.com/college/moore), and the general public can access the Flash Guides at www.wiley.com/go/moore.
