This document discusses General Systems Theory (GST) and how it relates to instructional design. It provides background on the origins of GST and defines a system. Students are tasked with reviewing links about the ADDIE instructional design model and discussing how it fits into GST. The process involves writing a three-page analysis of GST and creating a presentation demonstrating how ADDIE is part of GST. The conclusion states that the ADDIE model fits well within GST as its individual components can be viewed as parts of the larger learning system.
