Dr. Andrew S. Gibbons conducts research on the architecture of instructional designs. His book, An Architectural Approach to Instructional Design (Routledge, 2014), expresses a theory of instructional design layers, design languages, and modularity to aid the creation of more conversational, innovative, and interactive forms of instruction. Gibbons has also published a content domain theory of Model-Centered Instruction. His goal is to explore the use of layers, languages, and modularity as tools for creating instructional systems that are adaptive, generative, and scalable.Elizabeth Boling is professor of instructional systems technology in the School of Education at Indiana University.
