Reflec5ons

•  CriCcal  flexibility    

•  Important  to  be  "criCcally  reflecCve"  pracCcConers.  Yanchar  and  Gabbitas  (2010)  characterize  this  as  a  type  of  pracCce-­‐oriented  inquiry  that  can  “avoid  a  type  of  design  complacency—for  example,  relying  on  a  stock  set  of  techniques—and  seek  deeper,  possibly  transformed,  understandings  of  what  they  do  and  why  they  do  it;  and  they  will  be  conCnually  open  to  innovaCve  (yet-­‐to-­‐be-­‐tested)  ways  of  making  design  decisions  and  solving  instrucConal  problems.”  (p.  391)  

•  How  do  we  build  evaluaCon  into  pracCce?    •  Literature  on  collaboraCve  design  in  sense  of  among  content  experts,  media  developers  and  instrucConal  designer  but  not  between  instrucConal  designers,  closest  is  found  in  soaware  design
