RSA #4 DID




RSA 4-Design Plan




 Developing an International Education Model
The article states that Instructional design is one of three main design components.   According to the author,  Bolan, Instructional design is the systematic approach to the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of effective learner-centered instruction. (Bolan, 2006)  Instructional Design uses learner-centered instruction as does Dynamic Instructional Design.  Both have students’ needs in mind.  The two modules have a universal appeal. 

Although they may have universal appeal, language, culture, religion, and the like may inhibit the development.  Language applies to verbal and nonverbal communications, so what may be appropriate in one culture may not be in another.  Proper international etiquette would have to be followed so that an effective module can be developed and implemented.  This module is like the DID model in that curriculum , teaching, and learning goals are developed with a strong evaluation tool used to assess the learning outcome.
