It is not expected that the aspects of a design case which excite the authors are precisely what reviewers see as the case’s true points of merit. I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case. A design that is unusual or new forces the author to explain its complexity with more precision. References: Howard, C. D. (2011). Writing and rewriting the instructional design case: A view from two sides. International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2(1), 40-55.

The newness of a design can pose challenges. Precisely explaining the complexity of a design becomes almost a requirement for the author when the design is unusual or innovative. For example, Howard (2011, p. 44) says “I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case”. References: Howard, C. D. (2011). Writing and rewriting the instructional design case: A view from two sides. International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2(1), 40-55.

The way the U.S. judicial system works, a defendant is first found to be innocent or guilty. The punishment sentence is determined only after a defendant has been found guilty. It might seem that this is a relatively minor procedural issue. Yet, the order of this decision-making can mean the difference between life and death, or even between conviction and acquittal. References: Dixit, A. K., & Nalebuff, B. J. (1991). Thinking strategically: The competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life. New York, NY: Norton.

Seemingly small choices, such as the order of decision-making, can have major consequences. For example, making decisions about punishment after a guilty verdict has been reached rather than before guilt has been established impacts conviction and acquittal rates. A decision to convict can literally be a life or death decision in countries that practice capital punishment.

There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based approaches to teaching (Tripp & Bichelmeyer, 1990). References: Tripp, S., & Bichelmeyer, B. (1990).

Obviously, it is vitally important in the war of attrition that individuals should give no inkling of when they are going to give up. Anybody who betrayed, by the merest flicker of a whisker, that he was beginning to think of throwing in the sponge, would be at an instant disadvantage. References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.	In nature it is common for a fight between two animals to be preceded by a standoff where they closely observe one another. Clearly, in this situation “individuals should give no inkling of when they are going to give up” (Dawkins, 1989, p. 77) in order to avoid giving the other an advantage. References: Dawkins, R.

But what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education? While the question of how global processes influence all aspects of education (and who controls these forces) is multidimensional and not completely testable, there appear to be some theories of globalization as it relates to education that can be empirically examined. References: Rutkowski, L., & Rutkowski, D. (2009). Trends in TIMSS responses over time: Evidence of global forces in education? Educational Research and Evaluation, 15(2), 137-152.

Rutkowski and Rutkowski (2009) ask “what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?” (p. 138). This question is not entirely testable and has multiple dimensions but theories of globalization’s impact on education exist and provide means of empirical analysis.

The word “comfortable” is more profound than people usually realize. The mystery of genuine comfort goes beyond the simple idea that the word first seems to mean. Places which are comfortable are comfortable because they have no inner contradictions, because there is no little restlessness disturbing them. References: Alexander, C. (1979). The timeless way of building (Vol. 1). New York, NY: Oxford University Press USA.

One way to describe a place is “comfortable”. What does this mean? Alexander (1979) states that “Places which are comfortable are comfortable because they have no inner contradictions, because there is no little restlessness disturbing them” (p.32). This statement seems to suggest that comfort is an attribute of the place itself rather than something that depends on the relationship between the place and the person experiencing it.

The technological tools available today for creating computer-based learning materials are incredibly more powerful than those introduced just a few years ago. We can make our own movies with camcorders in our homes; we can publish our own books. Soon teachers and students will be able to use computer-video technology to produce their own learning materials. All it takes is time, know-how, and some funds. References: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation.

Frick (1991) suggested that teachers and students would be capable of using computer-video technology to make learning resources. Furthermore, Frick’s observation regarding tools for creating learning materials that leverage computers that are a lot more powerful than technology used just a few years back remains true over a decade later.

Overall findings revealed that the technology skills of preservice teachers participating in this study were relatively low, while providing a basis upon which to identify prerequisite skills and instructional objectives for teaching technology skills and integration practices. In planning experiences for technology-rich teacher education programs, curriculum designers could consider some skills as prerequisite, such as word processing, basic computer operation skills, e-mail, and skills associated with the World Wide Web. Reference 1 Brush, T., Glazewski, K. D., & Hew, K. F. (2008). Development of an instrument to measure preservice teachers’ technology skills, technology beliefs, and technology barriers. Computers in the Schools, 25(1), 112-125. Original Source Material 2 With regard to factors that contribute to the teachers’ readiness, computer proficiency took priority. Basically, if teacher computer proficiency increases, the teachers’ feeling to be more ready to integrate technology into instruction also increases. Reference 2 Inan, F. A., & Lowther, D. L. (2010). Factors affecting technology integration in K-12 classrooms: A path model. Educational Technology Research and Development, 58(2), 137-154.

Low computer proficiency may negatively affect the use of technology in schools (Inan & Lowther, 2010) To address potentially low technology skills among preservice teachers, teacher educators could consider some skills as prerequisite, such as word processing, basic computer operation skills, e-mail, and skills associated with the World Wide Web. However, this approach would require instructional options for students who lack such skills.

We considered a number of methods for measuring similarity between countries with respect to their mathematics attainment. A simple comparison of scale scores over time was rejected as this would limit the investigation to asking how much respondents from a country know on a given topic. Instead, we chose an item-level analysis that allows for a closer examination of what respondents in a given country know and how this compares to other countries. References: Rutkowski, L., & Rutkowski, D. (2009). Trends in TIMSS responses over time: Evidence of global forces in education? Educational Research and Evaluation, 15(2), 137-152.

We came up with several methods for assessing how closely related two classes were with regards to their reading ability. A straightforward contrasting of test scores was deemed unacceptable since this would make it challenging to determine what reading strengths students from a specific class had. We decided, instead, to focus on answers to specific test questions to be able to see how students in a particular class stacked up against other classes with respect to the particular test question.
