Strategies of Computer-Based Instructional Design: A Review of Guidelines and Empirical Research

Abstract

A survey of literature was conducted to examine empirical research for the numerous guidelines and recommendations that have been published about design strategies for computer-based instruction. The guidelines and experiments were categorized as pertaining to (a) strategies for presenting instructional material, (b) strategies for questioning and interactivity, or (c) strategies for programming response feedback and remediation procedures. Strategies for presenting instructional material were analyzed in literature on orienting instructions and objectives, stimulus display duration, sequencing instructional material, sequencing levels of difficulty, graphics, and review of material. Strategies for questioning and interactivity were analyzed in literature on prelesson questions, question types, question placement, number of questions, and answering questions. Strategies for programming response feedback and remediation procedures were analyzed in literature on feedback for correct and incorrect responses, latency of feedback, and placement of feedback.
