Instructional design is a maturing field with decades of practice and research to inform it. Many long-standing practices
remain valuable, but new and emerging developments in education and technology have significant implications for
how we think about learning experience design. What are the implications of big data and learning analytics? What
happens when we blend user-centered design and traditional notions of instructional design? How is gamification and
game-based learning changing instructional design? What about the role of adaptive and personalized learning? How is
the commitment to such learning environments shaping or reshaping instructional design? How does virtual and
augmented reality create new affordances and limitations for instructional design? How do partnerships and
integrations across organizations and networks impact the instructional design process? In this session, participants
will be challenged to consider the implications of these and related questions as we seek to face the challenges and
embrace the opportunities of higher education instructional design in a connected age.
