Developing a web-based heuristic advisory system for instructional designers

Although there are several dozens of instructional design models and a lot of empirically founded principles of instructional design, there is a lack of integration preventing us from sound recommendations for instructional designers. The contribution presents a research and development project aiming at the development of a web-based heuristic advisory system for instructional designers. In fact, such an advisory system is a representation of an integrated technological theory. The advisory system contains three modules: an information assessment unit, the knowledge base, and an advisory unit. The most difficult part of the project is the definition of the relations between input information and design options.
