 **The Implementation of Quest Atlantis in teaching and learning of 'Instructional System Design'**  Hongliang MA (Michael1975 in QA)  (Department of Educational Technolgoy, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an, China) In order to develop the ability of instructional design among undergraduates majoring in educational technology, it is necessary to build an learning context in which students can experience the ID and engaged in the ID activities, according to the theory of situated cognition and experience learning. Quest Atlantis is the one of the best choice for building this learning context, because its ID is very successful and unique, especially embedded the constructivism learning theory. When using QA in the teaching and learning of 'ISD' course, I designed three learning stages: learning ID theory, experiencing the ID of QA, and designing one unit in QA. After the implementation of these three stages, I found that students are more satisfied with and give more positive comments on these learning stages, especially the last two stages. The implication of this teaching innovation is that there are some possibilities of implementing QA in the way of self-independent learning after school among undergraduates in China.
