Unit of Study: EDPC5022 - Educational Design Methodologies
This core unit of study seeks to provide students with solid background in research, theory and design methods necessary to enable informed and effective decision-making about which instructional methods to use, under what conditions, and in various educational and professional settings. Students will also gain practical experience with a number of educational design methods, use various design support tools and apply design methods to their own professional setting, as they engage in a number of authentic case studies. The unit looks at contemporary instructional design theories, models for educational media design, the psychology of design, individual and collaborative problem solving, research on advanced tools for educational media design and methods of interaction design.
