Instructional Design Consideration and Planning in Transforming Simulation Systems to Platform for Delivery for Instruction

摘要

In this paper we present the view of Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI) as to the future development of Instructional Systems Design (ISD) when applied to Simulation Based Instruction (SBI). We call for the formalization of the SBI ISD process in a way that will achieve the separation of the ISD process from a specific simulation implementation, and address the complexity and special needs of the process. Additionally we describe a new model for instructional design that can be applied to SBI. Unlike traditional models such as ADDIE that focus on the process, our model focuses on the integration of four design elements: process, ontology, collaboration model and product description. We show how the proposed model integrates with current trends in Simulation-SCORM interoperability, as well as streamlining SBI ISD with the ISD of traditional Web-based training (WBT) used in a similar context. Our suggested approach contains a supporting business model, as well as a new class of automated ISD editors to help instructional designers plan effective simulation instruction interactions.
