The ADDIE Instructional Design Model

Paper Summary:

In this paper, the writer explains the specific layers of the ADDIE instructional design model, namely, the processes of analysis, design, development, implementation and finally, evaluation. The writer also discusses the personal value he has experienced in implementing the ADDIE model in the design and modification of his courses.

From the Paper:

"ADDIE is a well-known instructional design model that has been utilized mostly in the academic fields but variations have been integrated in other planning and design models by subject matter experts (SMEs) in many different specialties. While it is not an instructional system per se - such as those discussed in the textbook for this course - the design model is an integral component used when developing aspects of Instructional System Development (ISD). The processes used in the ADDIE model aid designers in incorporating cognitive, constructive, and behaviorist elements in order to analyze the possible success or failure of their system designs. They also allow for easier management and evaluation of those processes to ensure that the programs designed are allowed to grow with the needs of the subject matter and the students."
