Rapid authoring platform for instructional design of scenarios (RAPIDS)

Abstract

With the increase importance of online learning nowadays but with the lack of instructional design applications available have limit and de-motivate most of the instructors to continue using learning management system. In this paper, we propose an interactive, scenario-based e-learning platform namely RAPIDS where users can create the scenarios easily and learners can solve realistic problems by understanding the concepts and not just memorizing facts and steps thus allowing learners to apply the knowledge gained to problems encountered in the real world for better instructional and learning experience and processes. Usability tests with the first prototype of RAPIDS are also summarized in this paper. © 2012 IEEE.
