The growth of distance education (EaD) has intensified both globally and in Brazil, driven by technological, social, and economic demands. Structured and high-quality EaD requires specific planning and resources to achieve learning objectives and meet the needs of education. In EaD, the content, structure, and teaching methodology must be planned and developed in advance, with an emphasis on intuitive instructional design, efficient virtual learning environments, and agile technical support. Additionally, preparing the pedagogical team responsible for delivering the course is essential. A lack of understanding of the complexities of EaD can compromise the quality of courses, highlighting the need for a model that organizes and standardizes processes. Process modeling contributes to better organization, flow optimization, and ensures that educational activities adhere to quality standards while allowing all participants to understand their roles. This work proposes an open process model based on instructional design theories and software engineering for EaD. This model aims to facilitate collaboration among professionals involved in the creation of distance education courses, promoting continuous validation and improvement of EaD quality and contributing to a more effective and accessible learning experience.
