Definition
Aestehtic principles for instructional design refer to a high level instructional design model and associated instructional design methods like coUML proposed by Patrick Parrish et al.
First principles
- Learning experiences have beginnings, middles, and endings (i.e., plots)
- Learners are the protagonists of their own learning experiences
- Learning activity, not subject matter, establishes the theme of instruction
- Context contributes to immersion in the instructional situation
- Instructors and instructional designers are authors, supporting characters, and model protagonists
