The Southeast Asia Interdisciplinary Development Institute School of Organization Development, also known as SAIDI School of OD or simply SAIDI, is a graduate school in Antipolo City, Rizal Province, Philippines. SAIDI is one of only few graduate institutions in the country to offer distance learning programs for working professionals. As of 2008, SAIDI offers academic programs in business, education, information technology, and language. The graduate school maintains an international faculty and admits students from different countries around the world. ==History== In 1965, the Summer Educational Media Institute (SEMI) opened as a specialized program in educational media and technology for educators all over the Philippines. Masteral and doctoral students of the Ateneo de Manila University, the University of Santo Tomas, and Philippine Christian University became the first learners of educational media and technology at SEMI.〔SAIDI Website, 2008.〕 In 1972, Sr. Jacqueline E. Blondin, MIC, Founding Director of SEMI, decided to shift SEMI's thrust from education to organization development. In the proposed program, the systems theory, which is used as a founding principle of instruction development, was adapted and applied to organizations.〔SAIDI Website, 2008.〕 In September 1975, SAIDI School of OD began accepting students from Southeast Asia and offered two master's programs following the "Open Learning Philosophy" using mixed media of print modules, oral instruction, and electronic technology. In 1976, the Ministry of Education encouraged SAIDI to offer a postgraduate degree program in education.〔SAIDI Website, 2008.〕 For the first eight years of operation, SAIDI was located in Arzobispo, Real, and General Luna Streets in Intramuros, Manila. In June 1983, the school moved to Antipolo City in the province of Rizal.〔SAIDI Website, 2008.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southeast Asia Interdisciplinary Development Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
