Compare and Contrast the ADDIE Model to Dick and Carey Model.

1. ADDIE v.s. Dick and
Carey

3. Strength of the A.D.D.I.E. Model
• It is flexible and can be used for traditional instruction and across
many industries.
• Is most effective when testing for easily measurable criteria
• Allows for collaboration at each level and at any and every stage
• Evaluation is a key component built into ADDIE
• Structured guidance for design

4. Weakness of the ADDIE model
• Addie is linear model, which is not amenable to accommodating user
generated content or unstructured objectives. It also assumes that one is
aware of all the user requirements before developing the design, making it
extremely difficult to make accommodations during the development stage.
• It is time consuming and costly
• Does not allow for designer creativity. Furthermore, storyboards are not
always effective in creating and conveying good design. Oftentimes poor
designs are recognized after the completion of the entire process.

6. Strengths of the Dick and Carey model
•The main strength of the model is
that the designer requires clear and
measurable learning objectives,
thereby developing instruction as a
systematic process.

7. Weakness of the Dick and Carey model
•It is based on the premise that
every one of its components
are essential, and therefore
none can be skipped.

8. ADDIE Model VS. Dick and Carey Model
• Each model has its own unique characteristics and elements that make up
each phase. The five phases of the ADDIE model: analysis, designing,
development, implementation, and evaluation, have a clear meaning and
understanding. This step-by-step method occurs linearly with easy distinction
in progression. With the Dick and Carey model, it includes much more detail
phases. The Dick and Carey consist of ten detail phases that are executed
iteratively rather than linearly like the Addie model.

9. ADDIE Model VS. Dick and Carey Model
Cont.
• The evaluation process in the two methods of instruction has its differences
as well. The ADDIE method is set up to evaluate in the fifth and final phase
in its approach.
• The Dick and Carey model has evaluations throughout each phase of the
method. Revisions are made throughout each step-in order to improve
directions and understanding in each phase.
