This document introduces the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) instructional design model to the training specialists at Letstalk.com. The 5-step ADDIE model provides a framework for developing effective training materials in a efficient manner. The document outlines each step of the ADDIE model, describing the key activities involved in analyzing needs, designing curriculum, developing materials, implementing training, and evaluating outcomes. The overall goal is for training specialists to understand and apply the ADDIE process to planning and creating instructional programs.

1. The ADDIE Instructional Design Model Evaluate Analyze Design Develop Implement

2. Purpose To introduce the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate) method of creating effective training materials to the Training Specialists of Letstalk.com

3. Objective At the end of this presentation, the Training Specialists shall know: The step-by step process in planning and creating training programs with a framework to make sure that their instructional products are effective and their process are as efficient as they can possible be.

4. Analyze system (department, job, etc) to gain a complete understanding of it. Compile a task inventory of all functions associated with its job (if necessary). Select tasks that need to be trained (needs analysis). Build performance measures for the tasks to be trained. Choose instructional setting ; e.g., classroom; on-the job, self-study, etc. Estimate what is going to cost to train the tasks. The ADDIE Model ANALYZE: Determine business goals and performance objectives.

5. Develop the learning objectives for each task 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 task first. The ADDIE Model DESIGN: Create a road map for accomplishing the goals and objectives.

6. List activities the will help the participants 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. The ADDIE Model DEVELOP: Create the elements laid out in the design stage.

7. Create a management plan for conducting the training. Conduct the training. Include training the participants on new tools (software or hardware). Note: The ADDIE Model IMPLEMENT: Deploy the training. Make sure that the books (or manuals), hands- on materials are in place; and that the learning application or website is functional.

8. Review and evaluate each phase (analyze, design, develop, implement) to make sure goals are accomplished. Perform external evaluations; e.g., observe that the tasks that were trained are being performed by the learner on the job. Revise or modify training when necessary and to make it better. The ADDIE Model EVALUATE: Measure whether the training works and goals have been achieved.
