Now you have an overview of many of the instructional design models. In this course, you will work collaboratively to design a web-based lesson or workshop using the basic tenets of ADDIE, the Morrison, Ross and Kemps' (2004) model, the Dick, Carey, and Carey's (2005) model, and your text book. Please note, as Horton (2007), says that e-learning ISD should be an iterative process. As we survey and apply different ISD models and theories relevant to distance learning, it is important to remember to consider all of the factors that need to go into designing effective instruction and that some models are better suited to certain personalities, instructions, and situations, especially the e-learning and mobile environments.
