Explaining the Addie Model

           In instructional design the systematic ADDIE model is traditionally used as a dynamic, flexible guideline for constructing “effective training and performance support tools” (Muniandy, 2010).  Although there are several adaptations, this framework consists of 5 phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.

ADDIE Model

Analysis

            Without this phase, instructional designers would lack the knowledge that is necessary to create an effective learning solution.  The analysis phase is the who, what, why, and how of instruction (Jauregui 2009).  Many aspects are determined in this stage; this includes, but is not limited to, goals, objectives, audience characteristics, project complexity, timeline, budget, delivery method,  and material.   This component of the model drives the design and development (ADDIE Model; Learning-Theories.com; Jauregui 2009).  This allows the instructional designer to know the purpose of the course and what their clients want to see as an end result.

Design

            The design phase is meant to be a systematic and specific (Jauregui 2009) way of producing a road map for accomplishing the goals set out in the analysis phase (ADDIE Model); assessment instruments noting whether the training was effective is also determined.  Learning objectives will be specified and the modules will be designed so that the steps needed to meet goal are known.  The content is evaluated and organized (ADDIE Model) so that user interface is determined and detailed storyboards and prototypes can be made (Learning-Theories.com).  Instructional strategies are applied for the intended behavior outcomes: cognitive, affective, or psychomotor. (Jauregui 2009).

Development

            In the third phase of the ADDIE model is where the actual creation of the content and learning materials takes place (Learning-Theories.com).  The trainer guides, learner guides, videos, training modules and more are created based on the design from the previous phase.  Various people and resources can participate in the development process including instructional designers, producers, directors, storyboards and much more (Jauregui 2009).

Implementation

            During the implementation phase, materials are delivered and distributed (Learning-Theories.com).  After the end-users are informed of the training and the trainers are aware, the course can be put into action.  The organization should properly instruct learners how to access and “work towards max usability within the hosting environment” (ADDIE Model).

Evaluation

            After the plan has been carried out, data is gathered and feedback is given to determine if the course effective (ADDIE Model).  There are two types of evaluation; formative and summative.  Examining the results of the assessments can lead to needed revisions.

            Formative.  This type of assessment is present throughout all phases of the ADDIE model.  As the learning need is being identified, the training solution is being designed and developed, and while it is being implemented formal and informal assessments are taking place.

            Summative.  This type of assessment occurs at the end of our ADDIE model and can tend to be more formal.  At the end of the course users will provide feedback and take tests to help determine the effectiveness of the course (Learning-Theories.com).  Some factors to determine effectiveness will have to be assessed on site of job to observe job behaviors and may take place some time after the completion of the course to check long-term effect.

           This generic process known as the ADDIE model has evolved over the years and is broadly accepted as a standard of practice.  This systematic procedure can take you from inception of the project all the way to the successful completion of the course.
