ADDIE Model

Learning objectives for this lesson: recognize the systematic process of the ADDIE model identify how the model can be applied to online course design What is instructional design? Instructional design is the systematic and reflective process of translating principles of learning and instruction into plans for instructional materials, activities, information resources, and evaluation (Smith and Ragan, 1999, p. 2). Instructional design originated in the 1950s from the military. By the early 1970s, the use of instructional systems design (ISD) methods had become common in all branches of the military. During the 1970s, ISD became accepted as a standard training methodology in many corporate, government, and military training departments to close skill deficiencies. In recent years, there has been a growing use of instructional design processes in universities and other educational settings. What is the ADDIE model? Systematic instructional design has a variety of models. A close examination of these models found that they include such core elements as analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE). These unifying elements ensure congruence among goals, strategies, evaluation, and the effectiveness of the resulting instruction.
Analysis --> Design --> Development --> Implementation --> Evaluation

While the core elements of the ADDIE model remains constant, the ADDIE activities typically are not organized in a linear, step-by-step manner. Instead, the instructional design process is iterative and selfcorrecting in nature (Gustafson & Branch, 2002). Experienced faculty members can use a modified ADDIE model in their courses.

Note however that two elements of the ADDIE, analysis and evaluation, are constantly omitted in design and training process for a variety of reasons such as lack of time and lack of awareness. Literature indicates that doing an analysis (needs assessment) and evaluation (reflection and improvement), even simple ones, can contribute significantly to your course design. How to use the ADDIE model to manage your online course? Analysis analyze student characteristics (prerequisite and previous courses, prior knowledge, and online experience, among others). define learning goals and objectives set realistic expectations for the course

ADDIE Model

Design decide on the main instructional methods (video lectures, projectbased learning, team-based learning, among others) design an assessment plan create detailed course outline Development construct a detailed syllabus develop PowerPoint, PDF, Flash, and other course documents develop assessment items (multiple choices, project rubrics, and e-Portfolio instruction, among others) Implementation launch the course management system such as Blackboard or WebCT Evaluation adjust instructional strategies according to students' interaction with the content, the instructor, and the peers collect course feedback via online survey, email, or other media. validate content accuracy and completeness, teaching methods, and communication approach, among others. revise as necessary
