Connie Malamed has linked Gagne\'s 9 events of instruction to internal learning processes that happen during each event. She has based this on Smith\'s and Ragan\'s \"Expanded Events of Instruction\" model.

\n

I hypothesize that Malamed\'s model can be applied to different learning design situations for which Gagne\'s model might be too limited. Malamed\'s model identifies the underlying learning processes of each event so that instructional designers can be creative in designing varied instructional events that still address these underlying learning proceses.

\n

It would be interesting to see whether research can demonstrate whether, cognitively, the processes Malamed identifies are happening when learners engage in each instructional event.
