History

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 of 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.[3]

In 1972, Sr. Jacqueline E. Blondin, MIC, Founding Director of SEMI, decided to shift SEMI's thrust from education to organization development. In the proposed program, the systems theory, which is used as a founding principle of instruction development, was adapted and applied to organizations.[3]

In September 1975, SAIDI School of OD began accepting students from Southeast Asia and offered two master's programs following the "Open Learning Philosophy" using mixed media of print modules, oral instruction, and electronic technology. In 1976, the Ministry of Education encouraged SAIDI to offer a postgraduate degree program in education.[3][4]

For the first eight years of operation, SAIDI was located in Arzobispo, Real, and General Luna Streets in Intramuros, Manila. In June 1983, the school moved to Antipolo in the province of Rizal.[3]
