I agree with Stephen Downes (OL Daily) about the value of this article by Ju-Ling Shih from the International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning. Shih's iLEARN model provides a useful learner-centered approach to instructional design. At some point, it will be essential to have a fully developed theory of instructional design, based upon an integration of cognitive, learning, and instructional research and theories; until that time, pedagogical models such as Shih's will need to fill the gap.

A Pedagogical Design Strategy for Effective Technology-Based Learning: iLEARN Model. I like this approach: "Constructing learning space is like architecture. Building knowledge foundation, networking for energy and motivation, facilitating designs according to educational landscapes, selecting the best quality materials, drawing blueprints of guidelines, extending the use of space with a pedagogical scaffolding process, and applying the art of design are what the successful education architect must be prepared to do." The iLEARN model, described in this paper, is composed of the instrument (the role, the design, and the use of technology), the lead, the environment, the activities, resources and network.
