 * Describing the Resource Driven-Learning Centered (RD-LC) Instructional Design Model **

This paper describes an instructional design model that could meet the design needs of institutions of higher learning using online learning as the instructional modality and who have a resource-limited instructional design process and course facilitators who are skilled in instructional design. A review of the learning environment of an online community college consortium is followed by a consideration of theoretical frameworks influencing the selection of models for adaptation. Discussion of the Three Phase Design (3PD) model (Sims & Jones, 2003) is given with explanation of why this model may be most appropriate for adaptation. The Resource Driven-Learning Centered (RD-LC) model is described along with elaboration on each design step integral for its use and the author’s reflections on the success of the model in one learning organization’s context. Application of the RD-LC model at the community college consortium is described prior to concluding comments regarding its impact for creating an iterative and flexible design process for higher learning organizations with limited instructional design resources.
