In the last decade there have been rapid developments in the field of

computer-based learning environments. A whole new generation of

computer-based learning environments has appeared, requiring new approaches to design and development. One main feature of current systems is

that they distinguish different knowledge bases that are assumed to be necessary to support learning processes. Current computer-based learning

environments often require explicit representations of large bodies of

knowledge, including knowledge of instruction. This book focuses on

instructional models as explicit, potentially implementable representations of knowledge concerning one or more aspects of instruction. The book

has three parts, relating to different aspects of the knowledge that

should be made explicit in instructional models: knowledge of instructional planning, knowledge of instructional strategies, and knowledge of

instructional control. The book is based on a NATO Advanced

Research Workshop held at the University of Twente, The Netherlands in July 1991.
