EXHIBIT 3.1. THE TWELVE STEPS OF INTEGRATED COURSE DESIGN.
if professors want to create courses in which students have significant learning
experiences, they need to design that quality into their courses. How do they do that?
By following the twelve steps of the instructional design process, as laid out. here.
Initial Phase: BUILD STRONG PRIMARY COMPONENTS.
1. identify important situational factors.
2. identify important learning goals.
3. Formulate appropriate feedback and assessment procedures.
4. Select effective reaching and learning activities.

7. Select or create a teaching strategy.
8. integrate the course structure and the instructional strategy to create an overall
scheme of learning activities.
Final Phase: FINISH IMPORTANT REMAINING TASKS.
9. Develop the grading system.
10. Debug the possible prublems.
11. Write the course syllabus.
12. Plan an evaluation of the course and of your teaching.
Initial Phase: Build strong Primary Components
The initial phase of the design process calls for the teacher to build strong primary components— the
learning goals, feedback and assessment measures, and teaching and learning activities shown earlier in Figure
