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 1975.
 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.
