Nice reference for the ADDIE model


I have come across a good reference about the ADDIE during my stages of doing Analysis and Designing of my e-learning intervention. It is a book Chapter IV titled: Applying the ADDIE Model to
Online Instruction, by Kaye Shelton and George Saltsman

In this chapter, the authors clearly outline what ADDIE model is all about and how it combines major steps from other instructional design models into five understandable ones. The authors further stress the importance of the Analysis stage which tends to be neglected by most  course developers. It is a good reference that guides one key questions to ask at each step in the whole process. The ADDIE model can be applied on any course even if it is not an e-learning course. It is interesting that after going through the module on ``Curriculum Analysis and Development``, going through the ADDIE model becomes easy because all the models of curriculum development we looked at earlier in the M.Phil course are clearly embedded into the ADDIE. This is why it probably popular. I recommend all to read the above reference chapter.

Thanks

  1. Thank you for sharing this interesting article. I found it in our library (is the SU library not awesome!).

    I have heard it from previous years as well that this module and curriculum design do integrate well. I am glad that both supports the same important design principles.

    You mention that you have started on your own project. Can you share (if possible) what you were thinking on doing?

    Looking forward to your future reflections and sharings.
