IBSTIPI Competencies for instructional design. The original set of ID competencies was developed in 1986, and this is an updated set of 23 competencies and 127 performance statements.
ID Theories
Theory in Educational Technology, University of Saskatchewan This site contains several papers on topics of theory and philosophy in educational technology. Includes discussions of behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, semiotics, cybernetics, motivation, metacognition, learning communities and ESL.
Welcome to Funderstanding's Adventures in Learning This site includes the Learning Theory Funhouse with links to information on the core theories of education, cognitive science, and other related fields. There's also a Learning Theory Chat Forum.\
Visual Design
The Yale Style Guide. Need I say more? It is from Yale, afterall. This is an excellent online resource for all manner of visual design issues, and it is well illustrated
Professional Organizations in Instructional Design
CNIE - Canadian Network for Innovation in Education AECT Association for Educational Communications & Technology AERA American Educational Research Associatio ISPI (International Society for Performance Improvement) ASTD American Society for Training and Development AACEAssociation for the Advancement of Computing in Education
Text Mechanic - Text Manipulation Tools Neat set of text manipulation tools. I don't know when they would be useful, but I want to keep them handy, just in case I find a use for them.
Adobe TV Amazing resource... training modules for Adobe products. Given Adobe's questionable reputation for supporting their products (at least, it is what I've always heard), I see this as a real image enhancer for the company. What's more, most Adobe products have a lot of depth -- features few of us ever use or even know about. This resource hits some of the more esoteric topics - not just the basics. Thanks, Adobe!
MVU - Instructional Design Standards Matrix Tools for evaluating online courses -- interesting and very comprehensive toolset, including a course evaluator. Draws on the Merrill school of ID thought, so you'll find their assumptions to be performance-based.
