Part I: Read the attached case study file (CaseStudy2) of Terry Kirkland. After the reading it, read the online version of the same case study at http://teach.virginia.edu/go/ITcases/Terry/#Scene4. Answer the following questions:
1. Using research sources, discuss THREE instructional methods used in the Kirkland case situation.
2. What instructional design resources might have been used in order to produce and develop the materials to support each of the methods?
3. Explain how each method supported, or did not support, student-centered, constructivist characteristics of learning.

Its direction is toward action even though it can be confused with cognitive abilities.
