ADDIE the Effective Learning Solution Model

ADDIE the Effective Learning Solution Model

The ADDIE module is a popular learning and development model that is used to create, develop, and deliver learning content. Because ADDIE model provides a designed, integrated approach to learning many organizations repeatedly use this model to construct employee training programs. The development has been made possible by step-by-step instructions that anyone can apply to create training on advanced models that address multifaceted technological, cognitive, and attitudinal problems that need to be resolved by knowledgeable instructional designers (Gagne et al., 2005; Reigeluth, 1983).

Even though this model was first created in 1970 by Florida State University for the military, this learning model is still the most frequently used model for instructional design because it is simple and highly effective. (ADDIE diagram source: cdc.gov)

ANALYZE

In this phase, instructional goals and objectives are identified, and instructional design is clarified, not only that but also the learning environment and learners’ current knowledge and talents are also recognized.

The training needs analysis process will help the organizations to identify the skills, knowledge, and abilities to perform the assigned job. Once you gather all the data, a full training plan can be created, which will include,

  • Who will be the target audience?
  • What is the training?
  • Why is this training needed?
  • What will be the training hours, duration, required budget, and facilities?

DESIGN

Design is the second phase of the ADDIE model; in this phase data collected in the analyze phase translate into a learning design. Design phase should be specific which means each component of the learning design plan needs to be made attentively and systematic which means, a logical, orderly method of recognizing, developing, and evaluating a set of intentional strategies targeted to reach the objectives of the learning design. Desing phase covers the learning objectives, activities, content, assessment tools, subject matter analysis, module planning, and media selection of the learning plan.

DEVELOP

In this phase, the designers create and put together the content and strategies with supporting resources and developing direction for instructors and learners. Then validation will be process through the stakeholder review and following a revision. Before implementing the learning solution a pilot test will be carried out and observations collected from this offer insight into final alterations.

IMPLEMENT

This stage of the ADDIE model aims at the delivery of training and project management. Capable individuals are identified and scheduled to serve as facilitators and participate in a train-the-trainer workshop, to formulate an instructor-led course. Engagement of the participation begins with notification and enrollment followed by pre-course announcement and interaction with the developed learning resources.

EVALUATE

This phase evaluates the quality of the learning resource and checks to what extent the developed learning resource will accomplish instructional goals. Before implementation of the learning resource formative evaluation is conducted, this evaluation will check the quality and whether the standards set in the Design phase are being fulfilled.

According to Branch, (2009) in Evaluate phase a summative evaluation is conducted after the implementation, it is done in 03 levels which are as follows,

Level 1: Perception measures the satisfaction level of the participants.

Level 2: Learning measures the gaining of knowledge and skills.

Level 3: Performance measures transfer of the newly gained knowledge and skills to a real work environment.

Further, offers a systematic approach that assists instructional designers in planning and developing learning solutions using a framework to ensure that their processes and instructional products are as successful as possible.

  2. The ADDIE module is a popular learning and development model. Can you please explain how can we use it for fully remote work environment?

    1. Good Question. Then organizations have to change the approach of each phase of this model to by adapting to the remote learning. Example if we look at the analyze phase need to conduct a thorough analysis of the remote learning needs. In the Design phase based on the analyzed data need to design the remote learning program, In develop stage they have to develop the remote learning materials, such as online courses, webinars. Next is implementation in this phase implementing the remote learning program by delivering the content through virtual classrooms, learning management systems (LMS). Final stage is Evaluation stage, evaluate the effectiveness of the remote learning program by conducting E-Surveys. Hope I have answered to your question.

    1. Thank you for the feedback. In the current context recourse allocation can be a huge problem which any organization face. It include time, budget, and personnel, to each phase of the ADDIE model. Inadequate resources can lead to delays, compromises in quality, or incomplete implementations.

  5. Perception measures the satisfaction level of the participants!! This is a must for an individual. You've got good facts!

    1. Exactly there should be a way of measuring the employee satisfaction level. If the employer manages to boost the employee satisfaction they can retain the current staff and attaract new staff to their organizations.

  6. ADDIE model has it own limiation. When it comes to analyse it will be time consuming.Where comprehensive data collection and analysis are required. This extensive process may not always be feasible, especially in fast-paced industries (Smith, P. L., & Ragan, T. J., 2005).

    1. Every learning model have its own limitations. However, if the organizations can streamline the data collection process, use data analytics software, learning management systems (LMS), survey platforms, and templates to analyze data L&D teams can enhance the overall efficiency of the ADDIE model.

  7. The ADDIE model provides a structured approach to creating effective learning programs, covering Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate phases. It's a timeless method that ensures thorough planning and execution, leading to successful learning outcomes.

    Great explanation of how ADDIE works!

  8. The article breaks down the ADDIE model into its five phases: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. Each phase is clearly explained, outlining its objectives and key activities. This structured approach helps to understand the sequential nature of the model and its application in instructional design projects.

  9. When developing educational programs that work, the ADDIE model is the one to use. Even though it's been around since the 1970s, it still works great since it's straightforward and efficient. From analyzing needs to evaluating results, it covers all the bases. If you're curious, there's a cool YouTube video that breaks it down even more

    1. Exactly, It has flexible guideline that support the instructional designers in developing an effective support tools in five phases called Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Among the improvements made on this model is the rapid prototyping (Y. Ahmad, 2013), which will provide the opportunities for the employer to design the programs to achieve the organizational objectives.

  11. This article provides great insights about the ADDIE model. This model aids in many ways in the learning and development process.
    According to an article written by Vulpen & Nemcova, (n.d.)
    'ADDIE helps identify the learning need in a structured way and ensures all learning activities serve that goal, which offers an integrated approach to learning. It also guides measuring learning effectiveness because job behaviors, knowledge, and skills are clearly defined within the framework. In the ADDIE model, each stage must be carried out in order and carefully considered before moving on.'

    1. Yes, even Campbell (2014) explained that "the ADDIE model is an instructional design whose idea inspired many curriculum designers to suggest other forms and design models because the ADDIE paradigm models a systematic structure of instruction in terms of its liability to accessible, plannable design, modification and evaluation. It also links theory and practice with the incorporation of instructional technology, lending itself to extensive research"
