Abstract
Andrew, a Curtin University doctoral student under Peter’s supervision, has been involved in designing an interactive multimedia program for teaching Special Relativity to undergraduate Physics students. After 18 months of design, the program was trialled at Eastern States University in November 2000. However, the design process was not straightforward or unproblematic.
In this paper, we: (a) review briefly the problematic nature of the initial design process and the subsequent paradigm shift in which the formerly separate strands of research and design became interwoven into a dialectical collaborative process, (b) outline the way in which the multimedia program makes possible a multi-dimensional curriculum including a constructivist epistemology of undergraduate teaching practice, and (c) illustrate why the epistemology of assessment needs to be a focus of future design dialectics.
