This article has enabled a formalisation of my initial model of instructional design...my model did outline a learning centred model which had little or no formal basis, except through experience in the classroom and success in a variety of situations. Not all of the courses I am involved with are structured in this manner, however, as I progress through the paper by Reigeluth, I find a stronger and stronger link to my experience as "... the elaboration theory was developed to provide ... a holistic approach to sequencing"
Types of Sequencing Strategies - Relationships.
I found it useful to have some direction to the topic of sequence and the models offered, summarised below:
Historical: chronological relationship - E.g. Timelines in history
Procedural: order of performance - E.g. Software development cycle
Hierarchical: the various skills and subskills that comprise a task - E.g. Authoring and Multimedia topics
Simplifying conditions: based upon the degree of complexity of different versions of a complex task - E.g. IPT Intro to Information Systems topic and IST - Digital Media (Video editing) unit
I think the spiral sequencing links well to the Simplifying conditions method and this relates well to my initial model of ID.
