Özet
The instructional design and technology (IDT) field is broad and interdisciplinary which complicates the role of instructional technologists. It is reported that IDT studies mainly concern hard, computer-based technologies and there is a lack of studies about learning theories and design frameworks. Therefore, the present chapter starts with the introduction to the field of IDT in 21st century higher education. Second, it continues with defining multimedia learning theory with its design principles for online learning environments which is considered to be critical for learning in a digitally driven age. Third, the concept of digital distraction is introduced which is a critical issue for effectiveness and efficiency of online learning experiences. It is implied that the digital distraction of university students is at an alarming level. In sum, the present chapter deals with revisiting instructional and learning design concepts along with multimedia learning and digital distraction issues.
