Blended Phased Solutions:
A Performance-Based Approach
96k Prestera, G.E. & Marker, K. (2006). Describes the approach effectPerformance uses to design blended learning curricula and programs. We start by viewing learning as a progression from knowledge and skill building to skill mastery, transfer, and fluency. Then, we identify the strategies needed to support the learner through this progression.
Five Approaches to Blended Learning
72k Marker, K. & Prestera, G.E. (2006). Summarizes our benchmarking efforts in the area of blended learning. We reviewed both the academic and professional literature and found that most strategies for designing blended learning fell into one of five approaches. In this paper, we describe these approaches, their strengths, and their weaknesses.
Understanding ADDIE:
A Foundation for Instructional Design
228k Prestera, G.E. (2004). Provides a description of the instructional design process; contrasts performance-based design with content-based design; discusses the importance of visualizing interactions among the 6 elements and crafting authentic tests.
Training needs assessment:
Process and tools to help you identify and prioritize training needs quickly
240k Prestera, G.E. (2004). Identify and prioritize training needs quickly and effectively using this streamlined approach and the two EPSS tools described.
Are your e-learners learning?
A rapid prototyping process and tool for test development
396k Prestera, G.E. (2004). Forge a strong alignment between learning and performance by developing valid, reliable, and authentic learning assessments.
