This document compares and contrasts two instructional design models: ADDIE and Dick & Carey. ADDIE has five phases and focuses on evaluation at the end, allowing flexibility. Dick & Carey has 10 phases and emphasizes evaluation throughout each phase, making it more rigid. Both models focus on analysis, planning and evaluation. ADDIE stages are clearly defined, facilitating effective training tools. Dick & Carey steps are often only connected as far as determining what and how to teach. A challenge of ADDIE is that evaluation does not assist with improving materials, while Dick & Carey can be more time-consuming due to its many steps.
