A synergy between the technological process and a methodology for web design: Implications for technological problem solving and design

A synergy between the technological process and web design methodology and its influence on the development of the cognitive skills of learners in the ISD context is described. The synergy between the stages of the technological process and a web design methodology integrated within the IWDP has positive implications for the development of complex thinking of learners during web design. Designing instruction around this synergy can help learners develop their conceptual and procedural knowledge through a set of pre-defined tasks and activities in the ISD context. An array of pre-defined learner tasks and corresponding teacher activities allocated within the IWDP can assist learners in developing their design skills, knowledge and thinking.
