Two of the most critical issues in instructional development (ID) are cost and time. Algorithmization promises to be a practical technology in optimizing instructional development, reducing costs, and saving development time. The notion of algorithms is briefly examined in this article. The differences between the pure, mathematical algorithms developed and applied in educational endeavors are discussed. Several algorithms employed in ID are spotlighted as examples of the varying roles they can take. The issues which set algorithms apart from other procedural forms are examined in light of available methodology for algorithms development. Some implications for developers of areas of application and research are noted. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the practicality of algorithms in instructional development. |
