Description & Coverage
Description:

The more complex instructional design (ID) projects grow, the more a design language can support the success of the projects, and the continuing process of integration of technologies in education makes this issue even more relevant.

The Handbook of Visual Languages for Instructional Design: Theories & Practices serves as a practical guide for the integration of ID languages and notation systems into the practice of ID by presenting recent languages and notation systems for ID; exploring the connection between the use of ID languages and the integration of technologies in education, and assessing the benefits and drawbacks of the use of ID languages in specific project settings.

  • Aesthetics in instructional design
  • Comparison of visual instruction design languages

Reviews & Statements

A basic tenet of this handbook is that Instructional Design is a creative profession, and can benefit from the application and use of design languages in a number of ways.

– Luca Botturi, University of Lugano, Switzerland

This collection of 21 articles addresses the continuing growth of e-learning and other educational projects that use instructional design techniques dependent on specific design languagues and notation systems.
