MISA

Definition[edit | edit source]

• MISA is an instructional engineering method describing graphically the instructional design processes and their products which define a learning system completely. MISA supports 35 main tasks or processes and around 150 subtasks. The method has been totally represented within the MOT knowledge editor. [1]

• MISA = Méthode d'Ingéniérie cognitive de Systèmes de Téléapprentissage

MISA Components[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]
