In today’s learning environments, where diversity and complexity are the norm—not the exception—it’s clear that how we design is just as important as what we design. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) is a popular and functional model for creating intentional learning experiences. However, research has raised critiques about the model for not directly addressing the cultural components that exist in online courses. The slogan "teaching the whole student" represents an effort to be aware when teaching of the conditions that exist for students in and out of the classroom. But, in asynchronous online learning, where design and teaching have equal effect on learning outcomes, an approach to "designing for the whole student" is needed to ensure learning needs of every student are met through the design of the course, not only through delivery. In 2022, Gamrat et al. published a framework titled INCLUSIVE ADDIE, to address this concern. This course explores the INCLUSIVE ADDIE model in effort to design for the whole student. 

This is an online, instructor led course that runs from October 6 to November 3, 2025.
