Topic: Using the ADDIE Model of Instructional Design; A Structured Improvisation

Have you ever been tasked with designing a curriculum? After the initial panic dissipates, many instructors find themselves wondering if there is a “map” that could make the journey easier. One such “map” is the ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation-Evaluation) model of instructional design.

Although most frequently used in skills-based organizational development curriculum planning, the ADDIE model is a valuable tool for any instructional designer, whether current, hypothetical or hopeful.

In this interactive session, the phases of the ADDIE model will be introduced in a clear and concise manner and the presenter will share both best practice overviews and useful tips and tools for each phase. Additionally, participants will be asked to share their personal best practices and experiences in each phase.
