Teachers as instructional designers: Does involving a classroom teacher in the design of computer-based learning environments improve their effectiveness?
The REDEEM authoring environment was developed to allow educators with no programming
knowledge to design learning environments (simple Intelligent Tutoring Systems) for
their students in a time-effective manner. The success of this approach depends on two key
factors. Firstly, on the extent to which the authoring tool is usable by its intended author population
(classroom teachers, university lecturers, adult trainers), and secondly, whether the
resulting systems are effective at supporting learning. In this paper, a five year program is
reviewed that evaluated the extent to which REDEEM has met these goals. The conclusion
of the research is that in many ways REDEEM has exceeded the initial expectations for it,
but that improvements to its design could further enhance its functionality.
