Implications of Two Well-Known Models For Instructional Designers In Distance Education:Dick-Carey Versus Morrison-Ross-Kemp

This paper first summarizes, and then compares and contrasts two well-known instructional design models: Dick and Carey Model insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DC); and Morrison, Ross and Kemp model insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MRK);. The target audiences of both models are basically instructional designers. Both models have applications for different instructional design settings. They both see the instructional design as a means to problem-solving. However, there are also differences between the two models. Applications of each model for instructional design and technology are discussed, and a reference to instructional designers in distance education was made.
