Hi,

I recently came across EduTechWiki and their 100+ items (site here, PDF here).

I was wondering if there's, out there somewhere, an especially comprehensive list (it doesn't need to include definitions) of instructional design and elearning high-level models and theories that impact development and implementation choices. Like, a list with 500+ theories and models.

BTW, so far I have:

  • ARCS Model
  • Affordance Theory
  • Bloom's Taxonomy
  • Dreyfus Model of Skills Acquisition
  • Five Levels of Evaluation
  • Five Moments of Need
  • Gagne's Domains of Learning
  • Gagne's Nine Events
  • Gestalt Principles of Perception
  • IPTEACES e-Learning Framework
  • Information-processing Model
  • Kemp Model
  • Kirkpatrick Model
  • Levels of Processing Model of Memory
  • Marzano's New Taxonomy
  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
  • Merrienboer's Ten Steps to Complex Learning
  • Merrill's Principles
  • Revised Bloom's Taxonomy
  • Successive Approximation Model (SAM)
  • Thiagi's 4-Door eLearning model

Thanks!

Build Branched E-Learning Scenarios in Three Simple Steps

While not an official theory, I've always found Tom Kuhlmann's 3C Scenario Model to be one of the most valuable and practical ways to teach scenario design.

I'd add a few of our E-Learning Challenges to the list. We've hosted several challenges on instructional design basics:
