Abstract

{IDXelerator}™ is an authoring system implementing the notion of learning-centered instruction. Instructional design is built-into the system via built-in lessons of different types. It is based on the assumption that different instructional goals required different types of instructional presentation and practice. The system includes four built-in lessons each complete with presentation, practice, and learner guidance: information about, parts of, kinds of, and how to. In addition the system includes a text module and slide show function. {IDXelerator}™ is a {ToolBook}™ plug-in adding an {IDX} item to the authoring menu. Any {IDX} component can be linked to any {ToolBook} object. {IDXelerator}™ increases authoring efficiency by at least 50% and simultaneously increases the effectiveness of the instruction by using scientifically verified instructional strategies consistent with instructional outcomes.
