InSite Studio...reducing the cost of instructional design and increasing the effectiveness of workforce training through adaptive delivery


Advanced E-Learning Design

InSite Studio is a third generation software tool adhering to a pedagogical process to produce adaptive, modular instructional content.  Teachers and instructional designers have participated in both the design and testing of InSite Studio.  The result of this user-driven design process is an improved design tool for capturing and delivering instructional flow in a natural, expressive form.

The diagram view in InSite Studio visually conveys the instructor's desired presentational flow for the learner.  InSite Studio allows teachers to use intuitive techniques such as flowcharts, outlines, and storyboards to convey a course design in a hierarchical structure.  This hierarchical view of the learning module promotes modular design without hindering the design process.  InSite Studio also supports the SCORM 2004 sequencing model, allowing the combination of internal assessments and sequencing rules for the design of adaptively delivered content.

 

 

Instructional Synthesis

InSite Studio supports instructional synthesis by allowing new learning objects to be discovered, imported, and aggregated, creating new instructional content.  Learning skins can be applied to learning objects, enabling consistent and flexible presentation.  Learning objects can be packaged in standard form (SCORM), providing portability across delivery systems.

These objects can be "tagged" with useful information, or metadata, bridging the gap between instruction and technology.  The tagged objects are more easily discovered by instructors, encouraging reuse.  In addition, the metadata can be stored in standard form (LOM), enabling the sharing and exporting of tagged learning objects.

 

 

 

 

Facilitates cost-effective workforce training

Research and development of the InSite Studio e-learning design environment was driven by the need to enhance the instructional experience through adaptive delivery, media-rich activities, and remote computational resources.  InSite Studio is the second-generation result of a multidisciplinary collaboration among computer science, education, and industrial engineering.  This collaboration enables the development of:

  • new pedagogical frameworks for technology-driven environments, and
  • advanced student modeling methods that aid the delivery of timely and effective instruction. 
This collaboration also allows for the observation of human-computer interaction to quantify workforce training effectiveness.
