This article introduces the design principles of a web-based assistive technology (WAT) developed for students with visual impairment (VI). The pedagogical goal guiding the development process was the enhancement of vocabulary knowledge for students studying English as a foreign language (EFL) in terms of their spelling and semantics. The study attempted to overcome the problems of individuals with VI through provision of an accessible and suitable learning environment. A design-based research (DBR) framework with a qualitative approach was employed with three groups of participants (students, experts, and families). The study's results revealed important findings for researchers, educators, and teachers of students with VI. The qualitative data analysis revealed that the WAT was accurate, appropriate, and accessible, especially in underlining design considerations. An appropriate set of distinct design principles that were founded based on the particular learning context of the study were also produced.

The Development of a model for tablet PC usage in education: expectations to realities
Özbek, Gökçen; Kiraz, Ercan; Department of Educational Sciences (2014)
This study aimed to explore current situation of Tablet PC usage in FATIH project from the instructional design perspective and also to propose an instructional design model suitable for Tablet PC usage in education. Considering these aims, expectations invested in Tablet PC usage in teaching and learning environment, advantages and disadvantages faced in utilizing Tablet PC in classroom and the necessary condition to be met in order to use this tool instructionally functional were investigated. The grounde...
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A QUESTION-ANSWER BASED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN THEORY
Ataş, Amine Hatun; Yıldırım, Zahide (2017-11-18)
The purpose of this study is to document design, development, and implementation of a question-answer based instructional design theory. Sigel and Saunders (1977) state that many studies report the benefits of asking questions and being asked questions as enhancing students' thinking and reflects students' thinking process. The impact of asking question or being asked questions are inevitably influential on learning. As students experience quality questions and questioning, their awareness of learning arise...
The Design and implementation of a web-based english vocabulary drill program for visually impaired students
Kamalı Arslantaş, Tuğba; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Altunay Arslantekin, Banu; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2017)
The main aim of this study was to design, develop and test the instructional effectiveness of web-based English vocabulary drill program developed for 8th grade visually impaired students. In this respect, this study focused on the design principles of the program and the contribution of the study on student success on spelling and semantics. The instructional model guiding the development process of the program was Rosenshine’s explicit teaching model. Depending on the nature of the study, design-based res...
Fostering spatial abilities of seventh graders through augmented reality environment in mathematics education: a design study
Özçakır, Bilal; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Education (2017)
In this study, design and development of an augmented reality learning toolkit for fostering spatial ability of seventh graders and their spatial understanding with this tool among different trials on mobile devices were reported. This study was conducted within two phases as preliminary and prototyping phases. The designed toolkit was evaluated, revised and redesigned throughout prototyping iterations with two mathematics education experts and two seventh grade students. Finally, possible contributions of ...
Making novice instructional designers expert: Design and development of an electronic performance support system
Ugur-Erdogmus, Feray; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2019-07-04)
The purpose of this study is to design and develop an electronic performance support system (EPSS) to support novice instructional designers (NIDs) in the instructional system design process and to reveal the key elements of an EPSS for NIDs. Design and development research was carried out with 23 purposively-selected NID participants. It is a three-phase study. These phases are analysis, design and development, and evaluation. According to the results, the main components of EPSSs designed for NIDs are tut...
