Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation

An instructional design training and development framework, abbreviated to ADDIE, consisting of five stages.

1. Analysis: Define the purpose of the learning, define the aim, being aware of current knowledge of learners and that which is still to be learnt.

2. Design: Create specific learning objectives, assessment criteria, learning content, learner self-assessment and performance measurement, media, planning and required resources. Create an outline prototype to see how this fits all the elements together.

3. Development: Create the learning programme, ensuring font, style, colour, graphics, etc. are complementary and will meet the needs of the learners. Test the finished product and revise if need be.

4. Implementation: Review and continually improve the learning programme. Often a trial course will be run to identify any unforeseen issues, which would be addressed before a full live deployment to all learners.

5. Evaluation: Evaluate the entire project, from initial concept to implementation and feedback from learners (e.g. via surveys), to determine if the aims and objectives have been achieved. Identify areas for improvement and update as necessary. Evaluation will also be taking place during each stage of the process, allowing for reflection and continuous improvement to take place on an iterative basis, rather than at the end of the process.
