Abstract
Developing and delivering curricula that are integrated and that use blended learning techniques requires a highly orchestrated design.While institutions have demonstrated the ability to design complex curricula on an ad-hoc basis, these projects are generally successful at a great human and capital cost.Model-driven design provides a sustainable approach that reduces some of the cost of complex curriculum development and improves the sustainability of curriculum innovation.Systems thinking is a perspective for going beyond events, to looking for patterns of behavior, and to seeking underlying systemic interrelationships which are responsible for the patterns of behavior and the events. Model-driven design provides the ability to share models and learning units beyond the borders of the institution.

This paper explores Babson College’s experience designing, developing, and implementing blended and integrated curricula for undergraduate, graduate, and executive business education
The paper examines the process from a systems thinking approach and attempts to develop an effective, repeatable, practice: model-driven design (MDD)
Summary
Blended teaching and learning in an integrated curriculum creates opportunities for learning that are not found in a traditional discipline-specific, pure classroom model. In an integrated experience, faculty need to spend more time coordinating materials and exercises that support the desired outcomes than they would in a more traditional stand-alone, discipline-specific classroom course. When this integrated model is delivered in a blended format, the design team needs to coordinate delivery techniques in addition to integrating the material. It is a perspective for going beyond events, to looking for patterns of behavior, and to seeking underlying systemic interrelationships which are responsible for the patterns of behavior and the events.
