The ADDIE Model of ISD
There are a number of ISD models named after individuals and institutions, but we are going to use the generic, or ADDIE, model as our point of reference. Although a nice name for a cat, ADDIE actually represents the first letter contained in each of the five separate elements of this model: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Most instructional designers use the ADDIE model or some variation of it as a basis for their work. Eventually, most experienced designers adopt their own unique models—one that fits their work styles and the demands of their clients or organizations.
Below is a short profile of each component. A more detailed and in-depth explanation follows.
