Ebook: Automating Instructional Design: Computer-Based Development and Delivery Tools

This institute was organized and presented by an international group of scholars interested in the advancement of instructional design automation through theory, research and applied evaluation. Members of the organizing committee included Dr. Klaus Breuer from disce (Germany), Dr. Jose J. Gonzalez from Agder College of Engineering (Norway), Dr. Begofia Gros from the University of Barcelona, Dr. J. Michael Spector from the Armstrong Laboratory (USA). Dr. Gonzalez, co-director of the institute, and the staff of Agder College were directly responsible for the preparation and operation of the institute in Grimstad, Norway. The institute was held on the campus of Agder College of Engineering, July 12-23, 1993. The theme of the institute extended the initial work developed by the presenters at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Sitges, Spain in 1992. During the two week institute, 21 presentations were made including papers and demonstrations. In addition to the formal presentations, working groups and on-site study groups provided opportunities for the students to participate directly in program activities. An important outcome for the working groups was the formal preparation of their efforts in chapters for this volume.

These proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute in the Special Programme on Advanced Educational Technology features the collective work of a group of international scholars and practitioners interested in the automation of instructional design. Members of the group have collaborated over the past few years in several NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshops and Advanced Study Institutes. Continuing research and development activities of the members are represented by the formation of an international consortium known as the Grimstad Group. This book establishes an initial knowledge base for the new field of courseware engineering. The authors provide a diversity of perspectives on issues and concepts associated with automation of instructional design.
