New Resources!

After some searching I have found two websites that contain valauble information for any instructional designer. These two websites focus on Information Processing Theory and Problem-Solving Skills.

Information Processing Theory
by Rahul Thadani
This website goes into detail concerning cognitive development and attempts to show us how information is recieved, processed, then retrieved in the human brain. Also the information processing model is explained along with the information processing theory.

Problem Solving Skills in Education and Life
By Craig Rusbult
This website contains a wide range of information in regards to: creative and critical thinking skills, multiple intelligences, thinking skills in education, problem solving in design and science, then teaching problem solving skills in education. I found the authors ideas of creative thinking (generating ideas) and critical thinking (evaluating ideas) most interesting. Why does the understanding of creative and critical thinking help the instructional designer?
