A Checklist Development for or Instructional Design Based on Goal-Based Scenario Theory (<Special Issue>Studies on Practical Use of e-Learning)

Abstract

This paper describes Goal-based Scenario (GBS) as an instructional design theory for developing scenario-based e-Learning materials, and Case-based Reasoning, a descriptive learning theory, as the basis of GBS. Schank's example was translated to show the seven principles of the theory. GBS checklist was then proposed to check existing materials as to how much of GBS principles have been adopted. GBS checklist was formatively evaluated using two examples, and revised accordingly. It was found that GBS checklist enables the designer to have clearer understanding of the material's strengths and weaknesses.
