Sharon Hawn's Week 1 ReadingWednesday, August 4, 2010
The importance of knowing the history of instructional development is crucial, for the future designers of instructional media. Within Wikipedia’s article, about the History of Virtual Learning Environments, it began in the year 1728. With only seven noted years mentioned prior to 1920. It can only be assumed that there wasn’t a lot developed during those periods or instructional development had a lower degree of importance to be noteworthy enough to publish such findings.
Sharon,
I agree that understanding the history of the development of any learning theory is essential. The world in which we live is always changing. The information our students must know to be successful couldn't even be imagined as little as 20 years ago. Education, therefore, is always in flux, and must continually change to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
The progress that has been made in the development of distance instruction courses not only affects the online and distance students, but also the traditional on campus students, as educators embrace the many resources and benefits available through personal computing.
