Yet it holds the key to the success of students and the efficacy of their education, especially in online learning.
That reality is a learning theory called heutagogy or the study of self-directed learning.

may not impact education in general and then education as a particular institution.

Using a three-round Delphi approach, the researcher investigated the best practices of instructional designers in the use of social media when developing professional training and coursework. Additionally, the study looked at the indicators and evaluative practices used by instructional designers to measure the effectiveness of integrating social media with respect to the learning process. The data gathered from this study documented best practices that 25 professional instructional designers used to integrate social media when developing courses and training designs. The data documented how instructional design experts measured the effectiveness of using social media. The study was conducted through three rounds of surveys. The first was an openended survey format and the subsequent second and third round surveys used a Likerttype scale to measure the opinion of the experts. The following themes emerged from the open-ended survey: (a) instructional design decision making, (b) digital literacy, (c) evaluation of instructional design, (d) learning theory, (e) personal learning networks/ environments, (f) instructional design competencies, and (g) futuring instructional design.

In all of the overwhelming efforts that it takes to put together your school’s self-study and curriculum guides, this paper tries to identify seven critical “dwarves” can be the hard workers that make you the “hi-ho” success of your accreditation efforts.

This information-rich environment could dramatically expand learning opportunities (Mathews and Squire, 2010, p. 209). This article identifies and discusses two instructional design theories for mobile learning including the major differences between those theories and other online instructional design theories. It also presents a detailed argument for the use of mobile learning in a particular case study.

This article identifies, discusses and compares the purposes of these three techniques, interviews, observations and the Delphi Methodology with specific attention given to their applicability for building consensus among established experts as is pertains to best practices for designing in new technology platforms like m-learning. Finally, the article recommends and defends an appropriate strategy for the use of m-learning based on these evaluations.

This view of self helps to define the persons overall worldview and within the context of that worldview there are sets of beliefs about everything within the world to be quite literal – this is known as a person’s noetic structure (Evans, 1982), what he/she believes about anything and everything, and it is here that the greatest paradigm shifts of all are occurring.

This view of self helps to define the persons overall worldview and within the context of that worldview there are sets of beliefs about everything within the world to be quite literal – this is
known as a person’s noetic structure, what he/she believes about anything and everything, and it is here that the greatest paradigm shifts of all are occurring. As one looks at any level of future predictions for future generations, especially within the context of education, there is a very real sense of a cultural change of self that cannot be ignored any longer if success is to be achieved in making a difference locally and globally in the lives of people (Marx, 2006).

This theory exposes learning as a complex and elaborate network of abstract mental structures which culminate to filter understanding for the individual (Driscoll, 1994/2005).

For many Christian schools there have been many sacrifices made and many difficult decisions loom in the distance. Christian schools are closing everyday; is there no relief in sight? I believe that it is time for some radical actions and shifts in our thinking that will test our faith and refocus our purpose for
being in Christian Education. Consider the following not merely as suggestions but as a clarion call to change the way that we think about the business of school.

This being true, it is important for the instructor and instructional designer to position his/herself within this spectrum so as to fully understand the nuances of what teaching or designing instruction will look like from their perspective. It is also important to understand that the nature of viewing learners often comes from a perspective that is formed from being a learner and the experiences that one can add to their autobiography and therefore their own ideology of what a learner needs (Brookfield, 1995). These then need to be critically adjudicated in light of the reality of what learners need in the present educational climate. This then creates an environment where chasms in learning can be rectified and learners can be set up to succeed rather than fail.

Part of their requirements for accreditation is the development of curriculum guides that show developed objectives including the purposed development of curricular Biblical integration. There is no formal training for this and many times instructional staff members are unclear as to the reasoning and practical development and application of such objectives. What training does exist tends to be through convention symposiums that are not well organized for standardized application. The classes are offered by other instructional faculties who have developed some materials, but there is an instructional cohesion problem based on the absence of standardized training in this area. This paper offers the instructional infrastructure to help train Christian Educators in building curricular modules upon scriptural foundations.

This discussion is designed to explore some creative funding models for third world education programs and to begin a dialog of how education can be structured to not merely “teach men to fish,” but exponentially “teach men to teach men to fish.” This is the key to global change that will be lasting for generations.

The adult learning populace operates from a holistic worldview that must be considered when teaching and certainly when designing coursework. Teaching adults and teenagers for instance, have many similarities. Often, difficult concepts have to be taught in multiple learning methods for adults much like for teenagers as an example (Reigeluth, 1999, pp. 2-3).
