Leveraging theories in instructional design: a reflective response to OLSit framework.

This paper is in response to the article entitled A Design Framework for Enhancing Engagement in Student-Centered Learning: Own It, Learn It, and Share (Lee and Hannafin in Educat Technol Res Develop 64(4):707–734, 2016). In this article, the authors proposed a theoretical framework to provide guidelines for promoting engagement in student-centered learning (SCL) based on relevant principles from different learning theories and empirical research findings. This framework connects learning theories with instructional design practices, providing theory-based instructional strategies and methods for improving student engagement in SCL. Challenges of applying this framework include customization issues, time, and resource constraints. More case examples of solving different instructional problems with this theoretical framework would help stakeholders understand how to use this framework in different contexts.
