Instructional Design Models

Search of an ID model for my EDIT 580 Internship:

For my internship and ID research, I am currently looking at different ID models and in particular Morrison, Ross and Kemp's (MRK) ID model for the contextual analysis for my internship. I am also looking at the Human Performance Technology (HPT) model.

Why? At first, the MRK model appeared to be suitable for a Technology center context and also appeared to be more flexible, in terms of its not being linear and rigid. But after working and doing a preliminary needs and context analysis for CSULA eLPS, it appears that I may have to refer to an HPT model more than any ID model. The more I analyze the technology center's project, the more it appears to be a non-instructional issue at this point, introducing Tegrity software with Tablet PC which deals with faculty members teaching with CMS/LMS and CSULA administration. At this point, I am also open to other ID models if I come across any that can somehow help me with the second phase of design.

I am also realizing that all these ID models are conceptual frameworks that may need some adjustments while working in real life and everyday contexts.
