About This Course. . .
Instructional Systems Design
(ISD) is the primary curriculum design and development paradigm in use
in training and education environments in America and around the world.
Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in the development of training
and education in the last forty years.
As a required course in the MIT Masters program at UNCW, MIT 500 is one
of several fundamental building blocks necessary for a well-rounded background
in both the theoretical and practical elements of ISD. Students seeking
a masters degree in ISD should be cognizant of the fact that the subject
matter and project embodied in this course represent prerequisite material
for the remainder of this program. It is essential that students expend
the time and energy necessary to meet the stated objectives if they want
to adequately meet future prerequisites in this program.
