Professor Jim Greeno
 

This course introduced three approaches to the analysis and design of learning environments: behaviorist, cognitive and situative. The design of resources for a learning environment should be grounded in an understanding of how the resources will be used. This includes (1) a functional understanding of the practices, knowledge or skills already in place, (2) a clear idea of what the planned resources for learning are intended to accomplish, and how they will do that, given the current situation, and (3) a plan for evaluation and reflection.
