Educational Technology and Narrative: Story And Instructional Design
by Karen Kaminski Brad Hokanson Gregory ClintonThis volume is the result of a 2016 research symposium sponsored by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) focused on the growing theoretical areas of integrating story and narrative into educational design. Narrative, or storytelling, is often used as a means for understanding, conveying, and remembering the events of our lives. Our lives become a series of stories as we use narrative to structure our thinking; stories that teach, train, socialize, and create value. The contributions in this volume examine stories and narrative in instructional design and offer a diverse exploration of instructional design and learning environments. Among the topics discussed: The narrative imperative: creating a story telling culture in the classroom. Narrative qualities of design argumentation. Scenario-based workplace training as storytelling. Designing for adult learners' metacognitive development & narrative identity. Using activity theory in designing science inquiry games . Changing the narrative of school: toward a neurocognitive redefinition of learning. Educational Technology and Narrative is an invaluable resource offering application-ready ideas to students of instructional design, instructional design practitioners, and teachers seeking to utilize theories of story and narrative to the ways that they convey and express ideas of instructional design and educational technology.
Educational Technology Beyond Content: A New Focus for Learning (Educational Communications and Technology: Issues and Innovations)
by Brad Hokanson Gregory Clinton Andrew A. Tawfik Amy Grincewicz Matthew SchmidtThis book is the outcome of a research symposium sponsored by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology [AECT]. Consisting of twenty-four chapters, including an introduction and conclusion, it argues that informational content should not be the main element of education, and that to provide more for learners, it is necessary to go beyond content and address other skills and capabilities. It also discusses the false premise that learning is complete when the information is known, not when learners seek more: their own directions, answers, and ideas. The authors assert that the ability to synthesize, solve problems and generate ideas is not based on specific content, although education often focuses solely on teaching content. Further, they state that content can be separated from the learning process and that instructional design and educational technology must be about the skills, habits, and beliefs to be learned.

EDV-Pionierleistungen bei komplexen Anwendungen
by Helmut SchröderDas Buch möchte die Leser in die Frühzeit der elektronischen Datenverarbeitung (EDV), nämlich die 50er, 60er und 70er Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts führen, an die sich heute noch sehr viele ehemalige EDV-Mitarbeiter "als Pioniere" gut und wohl auch gern erinnern werden. Wie kann man diese Zeitphase bezeichnen? Es war eine einmalige innovative Phase, durch gravierende technische Neuerungen wurde eine enorme Aufbruchstimmung ausgelöst. Für das Projekt "Automatisierung des Postscheck- und Postsparkassendienstes" werden die komplexen Entwicklungen dargestellt. Es war seinerzeit das EDV-Projekt mit dem größten Geschäftspotential eines einzelnen Kunden in Deutschland. Die elektronischen Datenverarbeitung (EDV) wurde zunächst geprägt von Großrechnern, die mathematische Aufgaben für Großforschungsinstitute und Universitäten als "Rechenknechte" lösten. Kommerzielle Anwendungn wurden durch zu langsame Ein-/Ausgabeeinheiten verhindert. Der Postminister Richard Stücklen entwickelte die Idee, eine automatisierte Lösung auch für seinen Postscheck- und Postsparkassendienst zu nutzen. Das Buch beschreibt die Erkundungsphase, das Umdenken von der Lochkarte zur Belegverarbeitung sowie die allgemeine Situation der Ausbildung und dem Bau von Rechenzentren. Aus der Entwicklungsphase bis ca. 1972 werden die Anwendungslösungen und Systemlösungen dargestellt und kommentiert. Pionierleistungen waren vor allem die zügige Automation des Postsparkassendienstes, die erste europaweite Kontenführung mit Belegverarbeitung im Postscheckdienst und der einzige Belegleser-Massentest mit Magnetschriften in Deutschland.
