As one progresses through the ADDIE model in designing one’s course, it is imperative to reflect at every stage and also evaluate the work one has done so far. In this analysis, the instructor must evaluate his/her Design Plan and address any challenges or concerns one gets to spot while developing or implementing the Plan.
Browsing through several SlideShare.Com documents on the ADDIE instructional design model, I came across the following slide presentation that deepens or develops
2. the issue of design a bit more, and that clarifies certain concerns one may have while beginning to work with this methodology.
The analysis phase is crucial in understanding who the audience is. But we cannot let out what the behavioral outcome is going to be. For that reason is very important to analyze the learning constraints and delivery options that are needed to guide students towards the accomplishment of one of the course’s learning outcomes.
3. What I definitely needed to visualize when initially working with the ADDIE method was the visual and technical design strategy that match the instructional strategies and the behavioral outcomes written in one’s objectives. In this second phase, with this information I could clearly see the scope of what I want students to achieve.
While working on the Develop Phase, I concluded that at times it will be important to develop materials for the students, but the very first thing to do is to review the existing material so I do not have to reinvent the wheel. Once I have these things clear (the materials), it is now the right time to develop instructional courseware to make it viable to start training one’s students.
4. Prior to the implementation phase, it is a must to create or design a “training session” for the students. But at the same time, I need to think that I must self-train myself to fully understand the course curriculum, learning outcomes, method of delivery and testing procedures to be able to work with all students evenly.
But if all parts are important and crucial in the ADDIE model, the evaluation phase is –in my personal opinion- the most transcendental of all. Here is where the cyclical process starts again in the search for the best teaching practice that fully fits the course and the students.
