In developing an understanding of educational systems and systems theory, you will analyze the system in order to determine its key components and their interrelationships. You will analyze a complex educational system from the perspectives defined in the OEM. In this assignment, you will report the needs assessment and analysis carried out in WS1, WS2, and WS3.
1. Introduction. Include and overview of the approach used for the analysis, the purpose, and what is
covered (what follows).
2. Description of the system. Describe the system as it exists today in terms of the three levels: mega,
macro and micro. Describe the system in terms of its elements (systems and subsystems), and
relationships and interdependence. Include necessary figures/tables from WS1 and support with the
literature when applicable. Discussion of the detailand dynamic complexities of the system should be
included as appropriate. Include the following subsections/headings:
Mega Community. Write a paragraph or two to describe the societalcommunity: location, economic
conditions; constraints placed on this community/educational system; resources/inputs are available;
clients, stakeholders, partners, and beneficiaries of the system in the community.
Macro Community. Write a paragraph or two to describe the institution: Organizationalenvironment;
hierarchy or structure of authority; resources/inputs available; clients, stakeholders, partners, and
beneficiaries of the educational system; and results (outputs). Include figures, charts, or tables when
appropriate.
Micro Community. Write a paragraph or two to describe the teams, units, and individuals within the
institution. Who are the immediate stakeholders and beneficiaries at the micro level? What are the
results (products)? Describe the characteristics of the learner that will influence their instructional
requirements. Describe the knowledge, opinions, needs, and wants of your target audience. Consider
demographic variables, expected prior knowledge/entry skill levels, maturity, motivation, experience,
and the technical proficiency of the learners. Include figures, charts, or tables when appropriate.
3. Vision and Mission Objective. Present the derived ideal vision (Mega level), and mission statement and

and mission. Include necessary figures/tables from WS2.
4. Performance Objective(s). Present the performance objective(s). In a paragraph or two, describe the
process and methods for deriving them. Include necessary figures/tables from WS3. 5. Needs. Present the
needs as gaps in results at each level of analysis so that the alignment is evident. Include the current and
desired results. In a paragraph or two, describe the process and methods for deriving them. Use figures
and tables as needed. 6. Actions and Solutions. Describe the identified alternative solution(s) to the needs
and actions. Describe the framework used and the process for identifying alternatives. Include necessary
figures/tables from WS3 and WS3. 7. References
C. Assignment 2. System Design (25 pts.)
CSLO3, CSLO5, CSLO6, CSLO7
The design of educational systems is an important role that educators are often expected to perform. Whether
it is the design of the corporate distance education system, a university program, or a system of instruction
for an individualclassroom, the application of systems thinking in education can be essential for success. This
assignment focuses on the design of an original ideal distance education system at the mega or micro level that
can filla defined gap(s) derived from the analysis in Assignment 1. You will define the components and
interactions of such “ideal” distance education system as the solution to the problem. T
