Instructional design theory and practice has evolved over the past
30 years from an initial narrow focus on programmed instruction to
a multidimensional field of study integrating psychology,
technology, evaluation, measurement, and management. The growth of
instructional design (ID) has occurred because of direct needs,
problems, and goals from society. Its application in planning
instruction first developed in the United States with the
Department of Defense during World War II with the purpose of
meeting immediate concerns for effective training of larger numbers
of military personnel. From the beginning, ID has rapidly expanded
into applications in industrial and executive training, vocational
training, classroom learning, and professional education. Although
ID has its roots in the U.S., applications and theoretical growth
is an international activity. However, literature at the
international level is still limited to either individual author
contributions or collections primarily represented by single
countries. As a result, there is no standard reference source that
contains the rich variety of theories and applications to form the
international foundation for the field. The goal of this two-volume
set is to establish international foundations for ID theory,
research, and practice within the framework of the two following
objectives: * to identify and define the theoretical, research, and
model foundations for ID, and * to bridge the gap between ID
foundations and application. Volume I includes chapters on
philosophical and theoretical issues on learning theory and ID
models. Volume II provides an overview of the state of the art of
solving ID problems. The contributors offer contrasting points of
view which provide a rare opportunity to see the diversity and
complexity in the field. The editorial committee has selected a
wide range of internationally known authors to make presentations
in the topic areas of the field.

September 2011. The 90 revised full papers presented were carefully
reviewed and selected from 198 submissions. The papers address
issues such as information technology, e-learning, e-business,
cultural heritage, e-government.
This institute was organized and presented by an international
group of scholars interested in the advancement of instructional
design automation through theory, research and applied evaluation.
Members of the organizing committee included Dr. Klaus Breuer from
disce (Germany), Dr. Jose J. Gonzalez from Agder College of
Engineering (Norway), Dr. Begofia Gros from the University of
Barcelona, Dr. J. Michael Spector from the Armstrong Laboratory
(USA). Dr. Gonzalez, co-director of the institute, and the staff of
Agder College were directly responsible for the preparation and
operation of the institute in Grimstad, Norway. The institute was
held on the campus of Agder College of Engineering, July 12-23,
1993. The theme of the institute extended the initial work
developed by the presenters at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop
held in Sitges, Spain in 1992. During the two week institute, 21
presentations were made including papers and demonstrations. In
addition to the formal presentations, working groups and on-site
study groups provided opportunities for the students to participate
directly in program activities. An important outcome for the
working groups was the formal preparation of their efforts in
chapters for this volume.
This workshop was organized and presented by an international group

instructional design. Although the principal leader for this effort
was myself, each of the committee members devoted equally in time
and effort in the total preparation and conducting of the workshop.
Members of the organizing committee included Dr. Klaus Breuer from
disce and the University ofPaderbom (Germany), Dr. Begofia Gros
from the University of Barcelona, and Dr. Daniel Muraida and Dr.
Michael Spector from the Armstrong Laboratory (USA). Dr. Gros
participated as the co-director of the workshop and was directly
responsible for the preparation and operation of the workshop in
Sitges, Spain. The workshop was held in Sitges, a short distance
from Barcelona, March 23-27, 1992. Because of preparations at that
time for the 1992 summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, the workshop
was moved to a more convenient location. The theme of the workshop
included three main topics: planning, production, and
implementation. Dr. Peter Goodyear, from the Lancaster University
(England), presented the invited keynote address. During the four
day workshop, 14 papers were presented and discussed. Following
each of the three topic areas, Drs. Gros and Breuer led discussions
critiquing the ideas presented.

resources across generations. This book provides entrepreneurs,
leaders, policy makers, and educators with the necessary tools to
make the most of higher education in order to meet emerging
economic and social challenges through the use of new technologies
enabling effective collaboration and knowledge sharing.
With the proper management, knowledge-based resources (human
capital, relational capital, structural capital) aim to contribute
to the creation of a competitive advantage not only for companies
and institutions, but also for nations and economic regions.
Intellectual Capital Strategy Management for Knowledge-Based
Organizations brings together new perspectives on the
knowledge-based view of strategy management as it considers the
