The challenge of disruptive innovation in learning technology

摘要

We know that computer-based instruction works. The question that remains to be resolved concerns what the most effective form of computer-based instruction might be. Are there consistent design attributes that will ensure the achievement of educational outcomes, and are there applications of learning theory that can be used to guide the design of effective computer-based instruction? The paper by Lau in this edition of the journal reviews a number of studies to derive a useful list of design principles to help guide the development of computer-based instruction modules.
