4. History of IDI Instructional Development Institute (IDI) Model [1973]
Created by the University Consortium for Instructional Development & Technology (UCIDT)
IT departments from Michigan State University, Syracuse University, University of Southern California, Indiana University and US International University
Used to train school personnel in principles of instructional systems design
5-7 day workshops on ISD
400 Institutes, 20 states, 20,000 teachers

5. Systems Approach Governed by a process Interrelated parts Purposeful
these parts are working toward a common goal
Purposeful
Organized
Stresses feedback
Considers the larger environment

6. I
Define

8. In the 'A' (Analysis) Box Step One - “Identify Problem” Assess Needs
Conduct Needs Assessment
Establish Priorities
Among Various and Conflicting Needs
State Problem
State one or more problems that need to be addressed

10. In the 'A' (Analysis) Box (cont.)
Step Two - “Analyze Setting”
Audience
Learner characteristics
Conditions
Under which development should occur
Relevant Resources
What material and human resources are available for developing and delivering the solution

12. In the 'A' (Analysis) Box (cont.)
Step Three - “Organize Management”
Tasks
Stating of major tasks
Responsibilities
Assigning the tasks to team members
Time Line
Established timeline to insure completion

13. II
Develop

15. In the 'D' (Design) Box Step Four - “Identify Objectives”
Terminal Objectives (TO)
Enabling Objective (EO)
The mnemonic ABCD provides a helpful reminder that objectives must include an (A) Audience, (B) Behavior, (C) Condition, and (D) Degree of performance

17. In the 'D' (Design) Box (cont.)
Step Five – “Specify Methods”
Learning
Instruction
Media
Selecting strategies and media based on the type of objective

19. In the 'D' (Development) Box
Step Six - “Construct Prototypes”
Instructional Materials
Building of testable draft of materials
Evaluation Materials
By making a prototype, you can test the materials before spending the money to find out they do not work.

20. III
Evaluate

22. In the 'E' (Evaluation) Box
Step Seven - “Test Prototypes”
Formative Evaluation
“Conduct Tryout”
Within conditions similar to actual use
Pilot program
“Collect evaluation data”

24. In the 'E' (Evaluation) Box (cont.)
Step Eight - “Analyze Results”
“Objectives”
Learner achievement
“Methods”
Effectiveness of instruction
“Evaluation Techniques”
Appropriateness of evaluation

26. In the 'I' (Implementation) Box
Step Nine - “Implement Recycle”
“Review”, “Decide”, “Act”
Return to a previous step if there is a deficiency or
Implement a solution

27. Summative Evaluation? Where is the summative evaluation?
Dissemination of the results is assumed and a further step was at one time considered

28. Why is the IDI Model Unique?
Organize Management step
added due to a belief that poor management often leads to failure
Lot of front-end analysis (common to systems models)
Lack of summative evaluation

29. Strengths Three levels of detail Linear General – non-designers
Intermediate -
In-Depth – experienced designers
Linear
Step by step (for beginners)

30. Criticisms Linearity Lack of refinement since creation
Too rigid
Lack of refinement since creation
Should organize management be done after steps 1 and 2?
Lack of summative evaluation
