 The ADDIE Process stands for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation.  Traditionally used by instructional designers as a step-by-step process in order to plan and create training programs.

 Florida State University developed the ADDIE model in  It was selected by the Armed Services “as the primary means for developing training.” (Clark, 2004)  During this time the term “ADDIE” wasn’t used instead it was called "ISD" (Instructional Systems Development) or “SAT” (Systems Approach to Training). (Clark, 2004)

Clark, 2004

 “Six years later, Dr. Russell Watson, Chief, Staff and Faculty Training Division of the Fort Huachuca, Arizona, presented a paper to International Congress for Individualized Instruction.”(Clark, 2004)  In it, he discusses the U.S. Army's SAT model as developed by Florida State University. (Clark, 2004)  Instead he used a model that had five basic phases that where still the same as FSU but the steps had been modified slightly

 In this phase, the problem is clarified.  The goals and objectives are set and the learning environment as well as the knowledge and skills are identified.  Questions that might be asked: › Who is the audience and what are their characteristics? › Identify the new behavioral outcome. › What types of learning constraints exist? › What are the delivery options? › What are the online pedagogical considerations? › What is the timeline for project completion? (ADDIE model)

 During this phase you deal with the learning objectives, content, subject matter analysis, and lesson planning, amongst other things.  It should be systematic and specific.  The steps used during the design phase: › Documentation of the project's instructional, visual and technical design strategy › Apply instructional strategies according to the intended behavioral outcomes by domain (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor). › Design the user interface and user experience › Prototype creation › Apply visual design (ADDIE model)

 Is the creation stage.  Storyboards are created during this time  Graphics are designed and content is written out.  Select method of delivery (handouts, tapes, etc…)  The project is reviewed and fixed based on feedback given.

 The plan is put into action and you are creating a procedure on how to train the learner.  Project managers check to see if books, tools and hands on materials are in place.  They also make sure the website is working properly.

 Consists of two phases formative and summative evaluations.  Formative evaluation takes place during the ADDIE process  Summative evaluations consist of tests, in order to gain some sort of feedback.
