ADDIE
Definition
- ADDIE is a Instructional design method, more particularly a Instructional systems design model
- ADDIE = Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation"
- ADDIE = Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate"
Components
Although one may call a component a phase, the five components of ADDIE are not necessarily linear, you may have to come back to any one at any given time.
Analysis Phase
- Defition of the audience
- What is the problem?
- Tasks and Learning needs analysis
- Identification of constraints
- ...
Design Phase
- Analyse subject matter in depth
- Identify objective, i.e. competencies (skills, knowledge, attitudes, etc.) to be achieved. See learning types.
- Identify a sequence to meet these objectives
- Create learning scenarios for each subject objective
- Identify kinds of learning materials and tools needed
Development Phase
- do it :)
Implementation Phase
- use it
- You may have to train both teachers and learners
- Insure delivery, e.g. through an LMS, a book, CD Rom,
Evaluation Phase
- Evaluate the design. See Design methodology.
- Build measurement tools, monitor implementation, and evaluate measurements to baseline. This phase is performed throughout the entire process.
Views
ADDIE could be viewed both as a component and a phase model as shown by the Nicolas Tsapatsoulis' drawing. Addie, when created around 1975 was first a waterfall model and then gradually evolved into a more dynamic one.
In more recent times, the US army interprets ADDIE as a non-linear model.
