Abstract

When instructional designers and teachers think of Donald A. Schön’s ideas about “reflective practitioners,” we should read Michael Power‘s A Designer’s Log. I admire the way in which Power, as a “reflective practitioner,” records his analysis of his practice as a responsible professional: what he can do, what he is doing, and what he should do in order to assist teachers and faculty members at a dual-mode university to apply instructional design to online and blended learning. The book is organized into three major areas: Introduction, The Case Studies, and Synthesis and Final Prototype. In the introduction, the author describes principles embodied in the instructional design model that he uses in practice, challenges he encounters at his dual-mode institution, and the prototype development process.
