ADDIE

I have to talk about it, ADDIE. The ADDIE instructional design model is probably the most ubiquitous these days. Everyone uses it (it works), it's become boring, but here we go. "And Away...We...GO!!!" —Billy Eichner

1. Analysis phase: Conduct a needs analysis to clarify instructional design objectives and the learning environment, including investigating the learner's existing knowledge and skills.

2. Design phase: Strategically pinpoint learning objectives and actionable strategies for attaining project goals. During this phase you will draw up a design document or proposal that may including action planning and storyboarding.

3. Development phase: The instructional design team will assemble the content assets laid out in the design phase. Programmers and elearning specialists will begin integrating technologies and designers will refine storyboards. This is a phase of review, revision, and modification based on feedback from stakeholders.

4. Implementation phase: This phase includes evaluation of feedback from the beta test, preferably from learners themselves, and it develops procedures for training facilitators and learners on the roll out. Training facilitators, cover course curriculum, learning outcomes, method of delivery, and testing procedures. Train learners how to use new tools be it hardware or software.

5. Evaluation phase: Consists of two aspects, formative and summative evaluations. Formative evaluation is present in each stage of the ADDIE process, while summative evaluation is conducted on finished instructional programs or products. Donald Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Learning Evaluation are often utilized during this phase of the ADDIE process.

I often like to reference Applying learning theories and instructional design models for effective instruction by Khalil and Elkhider. It concisely and clearly articulates the foundational building blocks of instructional design. Both the ADDIE and Dick and Carey models use a behavioral approach in designing instruction, but ADDIE is easier to use. If you want a deeper dive into each phase of ADDIE, check out the Dick and Carey model.
