Introduction
Welcome! I am pleased to share with you, other instructional design students, what I have learned in EDP 631: Introduction to Instructional Design & Technology. When I started this course I really didn't understand how connected the ideas and theories of human intelligence and thinking were to design. I mean as a teacher your instruction needs to be quality and diverse to reach the students you are teaching. This is so true with design. If the material, resources, code are not able to be utilized by the learner then there is no value to that material, resource, or code.
In this WebQuest the following questions should be answered:
-
What is instructional design and where did it come from?
-
Who created the theories of human development?
-
What do the human development theories tell us?
-
What other information do we know about intelligence?
-
Why is knowledge of emotional intelligence important?
