Creating a Blended Synchronous Learning Environment: Using PST as a Design Tool

This chapter shows anPST example of using the PSTPST framework as a design tool to guide the pedagogical, social, and technical designs of a blended synchronousSynchronous learning environmentLearning environment” (BSLEBSLE) by following the educational design researchEducational design research (EDREDR) approach. Four iterations were involved in the prototypingPrototyping stage and each iterationIteration focussed on pedagogical, social, and technical designTechnical design perspectives. In addition to product improvement, this example also showsSynchronous how the EDREducational design research approach contributesPrototyping to knowledgeIteration growth in a form of design principlesDesign principle.
