The Dick and Carey Systems Approach Model (1978) focuses on the interrelationship between elements in the design process. According to Dick and Carey, “Components such as the instructor, learners, materials, instructional activities, delivery system, and learning and performance environments interact with each other and work together to bring about the desired student learning outcomes.”
The model stresses identifying Instructional Goals that may include skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes (SKA) that the learner is expected to adopt, acquire, and demonstrate.
Instructional Analysis is necessary to determine what specific and focussed elements of a larger topic a learner should be familiar with in order to achieve Instructional Goals.
Analyzing Learners and Contexts focuses on determining learners’ demographics, prior knowledge/experiences, performance levels in order to forge the connection between the learners and the subject that is being taught.
Clear Performance Objectives present the performance criteria that will be used to assess the learners’ levels of achievement.
Developing Assessment Instruments not only entails devising the actual assignments but also clearly articulating their purpose. The model suggests including testing, pretesting, post-testing, practice items/practice problems.
Instructional Strategy determines modes of instruction [hyperlink], student engagement activities, student participation criteria, assessment, etc.
Developing and selecting Instructional Materials includes curating the list of learning materials that may include textbooks, journal and newspaper articles, videos, podcasts, and/or creating handouts, videos, etc. The instructional materials should be aligned with performance objectives, assessment schema, and instructional strategy/goals.
Each of the components of the Dick & Carey model should be included in the Formative Evaluation to identify areas of improvement. For example, the instructor can assess whether their course’s learning objectives start with an action verb and adjust accordingly. Best practices include consulting a colleague, peer, or advisor.
Each formative evaluation instance should be followed by a Revision. For example, if the instructor determined that the individual assignments are too large in scope, the revision may include scaffolding (breaking them down into more manageable, lower-stakes assessments). Important to note is that revisions based on the results of Formative Analysis are done constantly and continuously at each stage, not after the entire learning program has been developed.
Summative Evaluation is, according to Dick and Carey, usually done after the learning program has been created and delivered in order to assess whether the course reached the Instructional Goals. The authors point out that Summative Assessment is usually done by a third party.
Dick and Carey Model
Students will learn to:
Students need to:
Students’ demographic data are taken from CUNYfirst; pre-assessment (low stakes discussion, quiz, or reflection assignments) at the beginning of the unit is needed to estimate students’ prior knowledge.
Multiple attempts, low stakes, self-graded quizzes are created to measure the level of student engagement with the assigned class readings.
Grading rubrics are devised to establish performance criteria and measure learning performance for short paper assignments.
Mode of instruction: Asynchronous
Learning module length: one week (weekends included)
Unit length: one month (four weeks)
Weekly engagement is assured through the required quiz, discussion board, and assignment upload on Blackboard. The weekly modules are timed and not available to students after the due date. Late submission is allowed, but 3% per day is deducted from the performance grade. Students have a chance to make up for the missed participation points through a series of extra credit quizzes and discussion forums.
The course uses Open Educational Sources. Instructional materials are compiled from various open-source databases. Instructional videos and handouts were created to address specific learning objectives.
The course has been developed over the course of 5 academic years. Various adjustments have been made in every component. Revisions were made based on student performance and reflections as well as on the instructor-led needs analysis and peer class observations.
The search for high-quality, free, and accessible instructional material has been a quest for years.
Devising a fair and motivating late submission policy required multiple iterations. the grade deduction for late submission ranged from 10% to 2%, and after many rounds of evaluation and student feedback, 3% off turned out to be the best solution.
The mode of instruction had to be adjusted due to the COVID emergency. The course went from Face-To-Face into Asynchronous modality.
The latest iterations of the module included reflection assignments to better understand student performance gaps.
Grounded in inquiry-based approaches and active learning, the 5E instructional model emphasizes students’ active participation and consists of five.
A simplified version of ADDIE, the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) comprises the iterative and agile processes in the development.
The ADDIE model represents a system of guidelines for building learning materials. The name is an acronym of the.

Educational Technology Accessibility Statement
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
