WikiEdProfessional eLearning Guidebook/Pedagogical designs for eLearning/Pedagogical designs for optimizing e-learning/Acknowledgement

The pedagogical designs that are described and discussed in this chapter have been developed in collaboration with several colleagues and the author of this chapter is grateful for their contribution to the development and implementation of these models. These include: Scenario-based learning (Mohan Menon, Chandra Gunawardena, Dayalata Lekamge, Shironica Karunanayaka), with funding support from Commonwealth of Learning and the Open University of Sri Lanka; Problem-based learning and goal-based learning (Andy Koronios and Mary Oliver) with funding support from the Committee for University Teaching and Staff Development, Australia; and learning by designing (Jaynie Anderson and Mathew Riddle) with funding support from the University of Melbourne.
