Comparison of Distance Education Theories
The Dick and Carey ID model states that the important aspects to creating an educational system are the individual parts to the program.
These components include the students, the content, how the material is taught and what is used to teach it, and the evaluation to determine if the
learning objectives were met and understood. As the evaluation is synthesized, the course can be revised to meet student needs. Using this circular method means that a course can be used for many years.
The four approaches to instructional web design are Linear-designed instruction, branched-designed instruction, hypercontent designed instruction, and learner-directed design. Though these four approaches differ slightly, they also have some similarities and some
instructors mix and match to create their own system. Each of these approaches divide instruction into smaller sections, such
as modules. Then, the modules are divided into sub categories, such as theme or content. From here, the instruction is divided into an even smaller area of study.
Both of these ID models have positive and negative features involved, however I do not feel as if either model allows for the entire creation of a course of study. For instance, in the Dick and Carey ID model, it is important to think of each of those factors when creating a course of study. This
seems like it would resemble a course syllabus. Then, to make the course rich in content, the instructor would need to break up the information using one of the four approaches to instructional web design. I do not feel as if either model would be adequate on its own, but together, they make a great approach to distance education course creation.
