Merrill on Instructional Design
David Merrill has become one of the most influential names in instructional design theory. He has developed an extensive body of research dedicated to instructional material, and more recently instructional design and technology, including developing and co-developing several instructional design theories.
He provides in this video a brief introduction to his current thoughts on web-based instructional design and discusses the importance showing rather than just telling, providing opportunities for practicing and doing, and motivating students by engagement in real-world problem solving.

Using Educational Social Software to Foster Socially Constructed Self-Paced Learning
Educational Social Software (ESS) is a relatively new subset of communication tools that have been recognized as offering aspects to the communication landscape that up until recently have not been available. This presentation that I delivered at the 2008 AECT Convention shares the experiences of one institutions that has leveraged the open source educational social software Elgg to extend social networking capabililities beyond the limitations of its existing learning management system.
In addition to the session slides, the audio recording is available as either .mp3 or .m4a as well as from my podcast. The enhanced version is available in iTunes.
