Design Talk in Teacher Teams: What Happens During the Collaborative Design of ICT-Rich Material for Early Literacy Learning?

Abstract

Research and theory-building activities in Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University revolve around several thematic threads: message design/development, technology integration, systemic change in education and change management and human performance technology. A dozen or more student-faculty research groups are active at any given time on inquiry projects related to these themes. Recent projects, their theoretical bases and some of their findings are elaborated in this chapter.
