All flashcards

What is the ADDIE model?

An instructional systems design framework used to develop courses and performance-support tools. Its phases are Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.

How did ADDIE practice change over time?

The early model was hierarchical, with each phase completed before the next. Later practitioners made the process more dynamic and interactive; the familiar version appeared by the mid-1980s.

What is a needs analysis?

An investigation of learners, desired performance, learning conditions, constraints, resources, delivery options, and timelines to clarify the instructional need.

What makes the Design phase systematic and specific?

Systematic design uses a logical method to plan strategies for project goals. Specific design details each element so the team can execute the plan carefully.

What is the relationship between IPISD and ADDIE?

IPISD was a related historical instructional-systems model with similar process headings. Its users called it IPISD, and the origin of the ADDIE acronym is unclear, so IPISD is not a confirmed source of the name.
