About ISDDE: Welcome & News

Around the world, there are accomplished people dedicated to raising the quality of design of educational processes and materials.

ISSDE was formed to help this group work effectively as a coherent professional design and development community.

The goals of the Society are:

  • improving the design and development process
  • building a design community
  • increasing our impact on educational practice

The members are designers and project leaders with outstanding records, together with some representatives from government agencies and foundations that fund such work.
