Multiple intelligences instructional design framework for virtual classes

This is a stub - you can help POERUP by expanding it.

The Multiple intelligences instructional design framework for virtual classes was selected in 2006 under the Socrates Minerva project. As noted in the project description:

This project proposes to use the well-established theory of multiple intelligences and elevate it into an elearning environment. By applying the MI philosophy to the design of virtual classes, the foundation will be laid for the rigourous application of standards to the medium. Virtual class technology will be harnessed by the MI philosophy so that it can deliver large-scale learner-centred instruction. The overall objective of this project is to create a MI instructional design framework for virtual classes.

The key outputs will be a validated design framework for virtual classes incorporating the MI philosophy, a series of archived virtual classes and a number of related research papers.

A full development cycle of activities from research to implementation and evaluation will be undertaken by the project team. The MI-elearning axis will be applied in this project to the compelling training need of health and safety training in the construction industry, with particular reference to target audience of people charged with health and safety responsibility on construction sites.
