Throughout these modules, learners will examine the critical roles of activation, demonstration, application, and integration in facilitating knowledge acquisition. By grounding contemporary design strategies in validated instructional frameworks, the series translates complex theoretical concepts into actionable methodologies for the modern classroom or online environment. As a high-level overview, these films serve as a foundational resource for those navigating the ADDIE model, backward design, and universal design for learning. The series emphasizes the importance of task-centered instruction and the psychological underpinnings of how adults learn, ensuring that practitioners can justify their design decisions with empirical evidence. This collection is an essential component of the Dr. Tim’s Corner archive for those seeking to master the core competencies of the field.

Research Design Mini Series

4 videos

Success in academic research begins long before data is collected. This mini-series provides a foundational roadmap for students and doctoral candidates navigating the complex process of research design. By breaking down the structural elements of a study, these videos help scholars move from broad interests to a concrete, defensible plan of action. The journey starts with epistemology, exploring how our philosophical beliefs about knowledge and reality dictate the entire research framework. From there, we transition into inquiry strategies, examining how to align your overarching goals with specific qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods approaches. This sequence ensures that your research methodologies are not just tools, but logical extensions of your core inquiry. Finally, the series offers an in-depth look at action research, a practical and powerful framework for those looking to solve problems within their own professional environments. Whether you are finalizing a dissertation proposal or conducting an independent study, understanding these layers of design will help you produce work that is both rigorous and meaningful.
