ADDIE Model of Instructional Design

1. Step 4: Implement

1.1. How should this content/course be delivered?

1.2. Depending on the learners (adults, youth, children) do they need to access course content on-the-go on mobile devices?

1.3. What resources do we have at hand?

1.4. Does the LMS support grading, feedback and collaboration?

1.5. Should the content be delivered via a LMS or platform familiar to learners, or is there time for them to learn and engage with a new platform?

2. Step 5: Evaluate

2.1. How do I know if my learners have achieved the desired outcomes?

2.2. How do I know if there are learning gaps?

2.3. What kind of evaluation can address their learning needs?

2.4. Is the course designed to deliver content in digestible chunks?

2.5. Based on my audience, does this course demand too much/too little learner engagement?

2.6. What would be some ways to reduce learning fatigue?

3. Step 2: Design

3.1. Instructional Plan

3.2. Curriculum

3.3. Duration

3.4. Assessment checkpoints

3.5. Evaluation

3.6. Course outline

4. Step 3: Develop

4.1. Course Outline (chunking the syllabus)

4.2. Decide on balance of instructional modes (text/videos/graphics/ activities/discussion)

4.3. Prepare assessments (formative and summative)

4.4. Does this course call for group activity?

4.5. Resources to further learning of content

4.6. Accessible content (that doesn't require specialized technology)

5. Step 1: Analyze

5.1. Audience: Who are my learners? What learning approach will best work for them?

5.1.1. Questions to ask: -- are they self motivated? -- do they need scaffolding? -- what background knowledge do they have?

5.2. Purpose: Why are they learning this content?

5.3. Learning Styles/Modalities (disabilities, if any to be considered)

5.4. Outcome (Professional development/skills training, etc.)

5.5. Mode (computer based, hybrid, in-person)
