This document contains an instructional design model that was created for a specific "context" (i.e. a specific company or need). While students in instructional design programs student general ISD models like ADDIE, Kemp, Morrison, & Ross, or Dick & Carey true ISD is at its best when an ISD model is created for a specific company or situation.

This model was created for an imaginary college needing guidance on rapid prototyping of face to face courses into courses delivered online.

The above product was a final assignment for a course taken with Dr. John Keller titled Introduction to Instructional Systems design. After studying systems thinking, various ISD models, and the role of instructional designers, the course was closed off with the requirement to create a custom made ISD model for a specific situation or company. (Fall 2007)

As an assignment the project was limited in scope. It was also created for an imaginary organization, although the scenario is an extremely realistic one. The e-learning scenario was not a required one.

It should be pointed out that the "idea" for a rapid-prototyping ISD model was directly inspired by real world rapid-prototyping discussed in Fast Prototyping as a Communication Catalyst for E-Leanring Design in Mark Bullen & Diane Janes, Making the Transitioni to E-Learning: Strategies and Issues., Information Science Publishing. 2007. p267.

The graphic model was strongly inspired by a process map in the above chapter. Changes were made to the model; it is not a duplication.

This project was a prototype of sorts. It was not request by or performed for an actual organization. The need for a rapid-prototyping in moving face to face courses online is extremely realistic though. As of the creation of this web page, and as a result of the context for the project, no organizations are yet using the ISD model.

As an individual class assignment, there were no designated roles for students. All of the work was done by the author.
