The ADDIE Instructional Design Process

1. The ADDIE Instructional Design Process By: Paola Davila

2. The ADDIE instructional design model is one of the best known instructional design models. A: Analyze D: Design D: Develop I: Implement E: Evaluate

3. Analyze • Definition: “To study or determine the nature and relationship of the parts of by analysis” (Strickland). • It asks several questions: • Who is the audience? • What do they need to learn? • What are the delivery options? • What constraints exist? • What is the timeline for project completion?

4. Analyze, cont. • It is extremely important that the instructor analyze the system (department, job, etc.) to get a complete understanding of it. • The instructor must build performance measures for the tasks to be completed. • In addition, the instructional setting must be chosen.

5. Design • The systematic method of research, planning, developing, evaluating, and managing an instructional process. • It must be set at attaining a particular goal. • Has three functions: • Identifying the outcomes of the instruction. • Developing the instruction. • Evaluating the effectiveness of the instruction.

6. Design • In order to effectively teach, there are five considerations to keep in mind: • What are your objectives • What skills, knowledge and attitudes are you trying to develop • What resources and strategies will you use in your instruction • How will you structure the content of your learning material • How will you assess the learner’s understanding and whether objectives have been met.

7. Develop • The development phase addresses the tools used to create instructional material. • It is the process of producing the materials needed to meet the goals and objectives. • This phase is a detailed plan that lists step-by-step procedures, time schedules, deadlines.

8. Develop • In order to help the students learn the task, a list of activities should be produced. • The delivery method should be chosen, whether it be through video, PowerPoint, lecture, notes, etc. • It is important to review previous material so that information is not repeated. • Lastly, develop the instructional coursework.

9. Implement • During this phase, the first use of the instruction or materials are described to the learners. • The instructor must be ready to face unforeseen problems like learner difficulties or instructional challenges. • The tools necessary to fix any problems should be at hand.

10. Implement • An implementation timeline must be established and the final product must be delivered. • Once the final product is ready, the learning environment must be prepared. • The learners must be prepared, which includes advising students on requirements, and all the tools to be used must be ready.

11. Evaluate • The evaluation phase is a systematic process that determines the effectiveness of the instructional design. • The evaluation is an ongoing process that happens at every phase of the ADDIE process. • Evaluation consists of two parts: • Formative: is part of each proceeding phase and determines effectiveness of each stage. • Summative: is the process of gathering data following implementation in order to determine the effectiveness of the goals.

12. Evaluate • Review and evaluate each phase to make sure it is accomplishing its goals. • Perform external evaluations that will ensure that the information will be used properly. • Revise the training system to make it better.
