Reihe: Emerging Trends in Science, Innovation and Business

This comprehensive guide examines the restructuring of instructional design principles and practices for digital learning environments. It combines established pedagogical principles with the latest technological innovations to help practitioners create effective, learner-centred online experiences.

The volume grounds its recommendations in foundational instructional design models including ADDIE, TPACK, and the Community of Inquiry framework, to demonstrate how these approaches are being reconfigured for digital transformation. It explores multimedia learning design through Cognitive Load Theory, Dual Coding Theory, and Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, offering guidance on optimizing the integration of text, images, audio, video, and interactive elements. The text presents architectural frameworks for flipped classrooms using Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) and examines the integration of synchronous and asynchronous modalities in blended higher education. Accessibility is addressed through Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and WCAG implementation strategies, while emotional design principles illustrate the creation of meaningful learner-content connections. The volume explores emerging technologies, including GenAI integration within Learning Management Systems for personalized feedback and intelligent tutoring, AI-driven adaptive learning systems, and Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications that foster embodied cognition and situated learning across disciplines, from medical education to historical reconstruction.

This collection is designed for instructional designers, educational technologists, and faculty members seeking evidence-based strategies for digital course development. It will help graduate students, curriculum developers, and policymakers in promoting equitable access to quality online education.
