Visual Process Model (VPM) to Develop Web-Based Instructional Problem-Solving: Teacher's Dilemma

AbstractThis paper describes the design and development of an interactive case, Teacher's Dilemma. The underlying processes and design principles used in developing the Web-based cases are discussed, as well as the characteristics of the case. Users of the case were able to access information that pertained to an incident of a difficult student, analyze the situation, and provide feedback to the teacher. The team integrated two design methods to achieve our goals: < I) storyboarding and (2) rapid prototyping. Overall, the pre-service teachers asked to analyze the situation performed well and were appreciative of the opportunity to use the Web in this manner.
