ABSTRACT:
The problem of this research was stated as
“there is a need to revise Elgazzar (2002) ISD model to meet instructional
development and developmental research on eLearning and distance learning
innovations”. Developmental research method was implemented that included
action research and case studies to report revisions of the Elgazzar (2002) ISD
model to reach the new revised ISD model. Participants were (8) PhD students
used the 2002 model under the author supervision (7 of them completed their
theses). An open questions Questionnaire was given to participants to report
revisions needed while applying Elgazzar (2002) in their development of
eLearning environments on the Learning Management Systems (LMS). The author
put the commonly changes and developed a prototype ISD model. The final ISD
model was refereed by two Associate Professors specialized in Educational
Technology: eLearning and Instructional Design from the Program of Distance
Teaching and Training, Arabian Gulf University. The research has resulted in a
third re- vised Elgazzar (2013) ISD model for developing eLearning and distance
learning environments. The research includes Figures, References, and
recommendations.
