The ADDIE Instructional Design Model

1. Analyze
   • Analyze system (department, job, etc.) to gain a complete understanding of it.
   • Compile a task inventory of all tasks associated with each job (if needed).
   • Select tasks that need to be trained (needs analysis).
   • Build performance measures for the tasks to be trained.
   • Choose instructional setting for the tasks to be trained, e.g. classroom, on-the-job, self study, etc.
   • Estimate what is going to cost to train the tasks.
2. Design
   • Develop the learning objectives for each task, to include both terminal and enabling objectives.
   • Identify and list the learning steps required to perform the task.
   • Develop the performance tests to show mastery of the tasks to be trained, e.g. written, hands on, etc.
   • List the entry behaviors that the learner must demonstrate prior to training.
   • Sequence and structure the learning objectives, e.g. easy tasks first.
3. Develop
   • List activities that will help the students learn the task.
   • Select the delivery method such as tapes, handouts, etc.
   • Review existing material so that you do not reinvent the wheel.
   • Develop the instructional courseware.
   • Synthesize the courseware into a viable training program.
   • Validate the instruction to ensure it accomplishes all goals and objectives.
4. Implement
   • Create a management plan for conducting the training.
   • Conduct the training.
5. Evaluate
   • Review and evaluate each phase (analyze, design, develop, implement) to ensure it is accomplishing what it is supposed to.
   • Perform external evaluations, e.g. observe that the tasks that were trained can actually be performed by the learner on the job.
   • Revise training system to make it better.
