The Various Stages of an Instructional Systems Development Methodology for e-learning Modules

This paper reports the efforts which have been made towards a methodology based on elearning objects for the development of PGL modules. The Partnership in Global Learning (PGL) Project is an international initiative to produce web-based educational modules for the corporate and academic sectors. In its earlier stages, PGL was focused on the k-12 education. A number of workshops to enable k-12 teachers in the design of e-learning modules was run as part of the PGL mission. In this work, we show the efforts towards a PGL methodology by analyzing the changes on the workshop programs along the last three years. We then describe how the ISD (Instructional Systems Development) and LO (Learning Object) technologies can be utilized for the design and development of PGL modules. The proposed methodology (ISDMELO) is grounded on sound principles from learning theories. This methodology is currently being tested at PUC-Rio by a group of k12 teachers from public schools and instructional designe...
