MISA Components

The MISA method identifies four axis

  1. DC: Design of Content (know-that and know-how)
    • Knowledge and Skill Representation
  2. DP: Design of Pedagogical specifications
    • Application of Teaching Methods and Approaches
  3. DM: Design of Materials
    • Specification of Learning Materials
  4. DD: Design of Delivery
    • Delivery Planning

There are 6 phases:

  1. Definition of the project (dossier)
  2. Preliminary analysis
  3. Definition of the course architecture
  4. Design of the various elements
  5. Implementation and validation
  6. Diffusion (field implementation)

Roughly, a timeline for development could look like this:

The 4 components split over the 6 phases lead to the 35 main tasks:

Software

MOT is a software tool (free for non-profit organizations we believe) that can be obtained from Cognigraph.
