Modeling for Instructional Engineering

Abstract

Instructional Engineering has been presented in chapter 8 and in (Paquette 2004) as a method integrating principles and processes from Instructional Design, Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering. As such, Visual Knowledge Modelling is at the heart of the instructional engineering where it serves to represent the knowledge, the learning scenarios, the structure of educational material and the delivery processes that support learning. But as we will see in this chapter, Visual Modelling can also be used to model the very processes of the learning design activity.
