Δημιουργία Πολυμορφικού Μαθησιακού Υλικού με Scrum σε Ελληνικό Περιβάλλον

Abstract

This paper examines the use of SCRUM framework in instructional design. For decades, the ADDIE model has helped educators and instructional designers to follow a structured, linear approach to Instructional systems design. Nevertheless ADDIE has been criticised by numerous theoreticians and practitioners alike that it has become increasingly irrelevant to contemporary situations and contexts which are volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. It is necessary for e-learning development teams to begin thinking and working in new ways, exploring new solutions such as Agile methodologies and especially SCRUM. We consider that SCRUM provides the appropriate framework for developing quality polymorphic e-learning objects and creating rich learning experiences. E-learning objects developed with Scrum are compatible with the taxonomy of "texts" according West and Lionarakis model, and finally SCRUM framework can work in Greek cultural environment, based on Hofstede’s national culture dimensions. The implementation of SCRUM framework can lead to faster results, greater pluralism and enriched forms of democracy in the development of e-learning objects and consequently we believe that this could lead to more open and qualitative e-learning objects.
