Why use the ADDIE model?
The purpose of the ADDIE model is to provide a framework to support the course development process. Clearly defined stages guide course developers along the course development journey. The model is simple and easy to remember. It has been employed for decades and is an established and accepted foundation for instructional design. Historically, it has been associated with design quality.
The nice thing about ADDIE is it can be used in all types of projects, such as a learning intervention for AODA compliance in customer service or a training module on surgical devices for medical professionals. Furthermore, this model aids in project management and doesn't require special training in project management techniques.
ADDIE also provides a holistic framework, which considers the relationships between stages rather than a series of self-contained sequential steps four course development. What was done in previous stages impacts subsequent stages. With that being said, the model also facilitates continuous course improvement and can be used to create prototypes.
There are several tools that accompany the stages of ADDIE. For example, templates for lesson plans can be helpful in the Design and Development stages.
