International Society for Design and Development in Education
The International Society for Design and Development in Education (ISDDE) was formed in 2005 with the goal of improving educational design around the world.[1] Educational design has been a secondary concern in a number of settings and there has been very little direct attention focused on design principles and design processes in educational design.[2]
Society goals
The society has a number of goals, including:
- improving the design and development process
- building a community among existing designers and create training opportunities for new designers
- increasing the impact of educational designers on educational practice
Governance
The society governance is outlined in its constitution.[3] In brief, the society is run by an Executive of at least 12 members. Within the Executive, there are three officers with particular duties (such as appointing local chairs of the annual conference, organizing the prize process, etc.)
- Executive chair Lynne McClure, University of Cambridge
- Secretary Daniel Pead, University of Nottingham
