ADDIE Overview

 ADDIE

 

The ADDIE model is a popular instructional design model that has a step-by-step process that helps create effective instruction. Almost all instructional design models contain core elements of the ADDIE (Dempsey & Reiser, 2012). The ADDIE model has become a popular term used to describe a systematic approach to instructional design (Dempsey & Reiser, 2012). The ADDIE model revolves around the following five components:

Analysis

  • Conduct needs assessment ("The ADDIE instructional," 2010).
  • Identify the learning problem (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • Define training goals (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • Write learning objectives (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • Describe intended audience- Their “needs, existing knowledge, and any other relevant characteristics” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • “Analysis also considers the learning environment, any constraints, the delivery options, and the timeline for the project” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).

 

Design

  • Identify resources ("The ADDIE instructional," 2010).
  • Select methods and tactics on how the content should be organized and presented ("The ADDIE instructional," 2010).
  • Select delivery format ("The ADDIE instructional," 2010).
  • Select activities that will help learners ("The ADDIE instructional," 2010).
  • Determine how the course will measure learner’s accomplishments ("The ADDIE instructional," 2010).

 

Development

  • “The actual creation (production) of the content and learning materials based on the Design phase” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • Experimental testing with actual learners.

 

Implementation

  • “Materials are delivered or distributed to the student group” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • “The effectiveness of the training materials is evaluated” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).

 

Evaluation

  • “Formative evaluation is present in each stage of the ADDIE process” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).
  • “Summative evaluation consists of data from criterion-related referenced tests to see the overall effectiveness” (Dempsey & Reiser, 2012).
  • “Revisions are made as necessary” (“Learning Theories,” 2012).

Strengths and Weaknesses of the ADDIE Model

 

Strengths

 

There are several noted strengths of the ADDIE Model. First of all, it provides a structure and template for individuals to use when designing their instruction. As noted by Bichelmeyer (2005), previous models described a variety of approaches which could often lead to confusion. The ADDIE model combined several components of these models into one template. A second advantage of the ADDIE model is that its linear approach provides a step by step process. The model is straightforward and could be easily implemented by novice instructional designers. Additionally, the ADDIE model is consistent and cost effective ("BYU dining services"). The model accomplishes these characteristics since each component builds off of the other. There is a great risk in skipping steps, however, proper planning and the completion of each step will lead to greatly reduced risks and the cost of errors ("The ADDIE instructional", 2010). 

 

Weaknesses

 

There are also some noted weaknesses of the ADDIE model. The linear format of the ADDIE model is seen as a strength for some instructional designers but others may consider it a weakness. The linear format does not take advantage of digital technologies that allow for less-linear approaches (Bichelmeyer, 2005). The model also lacks flexibility when applied to certain types of instructions. Additionally, the linear format may not work well with user generated content or learning outcomes which do not have a predetermined state ("ADDIE model", 2011).
