A student’s culture plays a role in learning, and research suggests instructional designers may be able to enhance the online learning experiences for diverse students. Because there is not one prevailing model or framework for adapting learning systems to be inclusive of cultural diversity, we propose a new model, Culturally Sustaining Instructional Design (CSID), that modifies and synthesizes the Integrated Multicultural Instructional Design model and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy principles. The CSID model will help instructional designers reflect on the higher education system and how their own cultures and biases shape their design decisions for socially just online learning environments.
