Death Certificate CME-Design Process

his project was designed using a method called instructional systems design. This is a method of designing curriculum and training based on strategic steps of design. The Death Ceritificate CME instructional designers used a method developed by Dick and Carey.

The Dick and Carey Design Model uses a systems approach for designing instruction. One of the best known models, its approach to designing instruction is similar to that of software engineering. The design model describes all the phases of an iterative process that starts by identifying instructional goals and ends with summative evaluation. This model is applicable across a range of context areas (e.g., K-12 to business to government) and users (novice to expert).

One of the first steps the design team took was to layout a timeline for the project. Here, you will find information about each step, along with reflections and actual documents developed.
