Abstract

In this chapter, we argue that a theoretically consistent approach to learning design is to interrelate pedagogical theory with the desired features of learning, and then to map relevant activities and tools along with human and technical resources against learning goals and an appropriate pedagogical approach. This approach is intended to enable educational practice to reflect relevant learning theories. Different learning theories and epistemologies (e.g., behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism) lead to various conceptions of information processing and knowledge development that influence effective technology use. Given the central functionality of education to help learners acquire and develop declarative, procedural and contextual knowledge, learning theories and technologies are fellow travelers.
