History
File:PXL 20230504 063515598.MP~3 (1).jpg
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 from 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, the founding director of SEMI, made the decision to redirect SEMI's focus from education to organization development. In this newly proposed program, systems theory, previously used as a foundational principle for instruction development, was adapted for organizational applications.
In September 1975, SAIDI School of OD began accepting students from Southeast Asia and introduced two master's programs that followed the "Open Learning Philosophy". This approach utilized a blend of print modules, oral instruction, and electronic technology. In 1976, the Ministry of Education recommended SAIDI to offer a postgraduate degree program in education.{{Cite web |last=YouScholars |date=2022-05-30 |title=Southeast Asia Interdisciplinary Development Institute {{!}} Courses, Ranking and Profile |url=https://www.youscholars.com/southeast-asia-interdisciplinary-development-institute-courses-ranking-and-profile/ |access-date=2022-12-02 |website=YouScholars, Inc. |language=en-US}}
