Why use ADDIE?

The ADDIE (analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate) instructional design model is a basic model that holds true for any type of learning, including Web-based (Hall, 1997, p. 81). ADDIE model is simple and incorporates all the components found in all other instructional design models.

1. Analyze

a. Analyze your learners and gather as much information as you can on them.

b. Analyze your broad goals for the lesson or unit. What is it you’re hoping to achieve?

2. Design

a. Identify learning objectives—what specific skills and knowledge do you wish students to obtain?

For example, “Student will be able to describe each step of the ADDIE process.”

b. Identify outcomes—how will you know that the students have achieved your learning objectives? How will you assess learning?

3. Develop

a. Develop your instructional strategies—how will you facilitate students in learning the objectives you identified so that they are able to achieve the outcomes you’ve set for them?

b. Plan the logistics—how will you group students?

How will you arrange the classroom? What tools and materials will students have available to them?

4. Implement

Try out your lesson plan or unit with students.

5. Evaluate

Were you successful? Did students learn? Did they have fun doing it? What should you change for the next time?
