International Society for Design and Development in Education
{{external links|date=September 2019}}
The International Society for Design and Development in Education (ISDDE) was formed in 2005 with the goal of improving educational design in mathematics and science education around the world.Burkhardt, H. (2006). From design research to large-scale impact: Engineering research in education. In J. Van den Akker, K. Gravemeijer, S. McKenney, & N. Nieveen (Eds.), Educational design research. London: Routledge. Educational design has been an invisible topic relative to educational research, and there has been very little direct attention focused on design principles and design processes in educational design.Burkhardt, H., & Schoenfeld, A. H. (2003). Improving educational research: toward a more useful, more influential, and better funded enterprise. Educational Researcher 32(9), 3-14.
Society goals
This international society, focused on mathematics and science education for strategic reasons, has the following main goals:
- broadly improve design and development processes used in educational design
- build and support a community among educational designers and create transformational training opportunities for new educational designers
- increase the impact of educational designers on educational practice throughout the world
Governance
The society is run by an Executive of approximately 12 members. Three officers have particular duties (such as appointing local chairs of the annual conference, organizing the prize process, recruiting and reviewing new Fellows and members, and directing the journal).
- Current executive chair Lynne McClure, University of Cambridge
- Secretary Kristen Tripet, Australian Academy of Science

Additional details on society governance are described in the society's constitution.{{cite web|url=http://www.isdde.org/constitution.htm|title=ISDDE Constitution|access-date=2008-07-02|archive-date=2008-11-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121050941/http://www.isdde.org/constitution.htm|url-status=dead}}
ISDDE Journal
Starting in 2008, the society developed an open access Electronic journal, called the [http://www.educationaldesigner.org Educational Designer], with roughly annual issues. The editor-in-chief is Kaye Stacey from the University of Melbourne.{{citation|url=https://www.educationaldesigner.org/ed/contact.htm|title=Editorial & Contact details|work=Educational Designer|publisher= International Society for Design and Development in Education|accessdate=2019-09-27}} As an online-only journal, it has the advantage of being able to provide detailed worked examples for other designers.

Prizes for Excellence in Design for Education, the "Eddies"
Starting in 2008, ISDDE supports a US$10,000 prize for excellence in educational design, known as the "Eddies". The prize alternates across years between rewarding particular designs and rewarding lifetime contributions to educational design.
