Learning Development Life Cycle – The ADDIE Model

My previous post on document development life cycle explains the various stages involved in a structured document creation. In this post, let’s outline the learning development life cycle using the ADDIE model. This model is a traditional instructional designing model consisting of five phases:

Analysis
It involves data gathering, identifying the training requirements, and understanding customer expectations.
The output generally includes scope of work document, project kick-off pitch, project plan, and Training Need Analysis (TNA) document.
Design
Based on the analysis, the design or the blueprint of the training is created.
A key output of this phase is the training design document.
Development
Training development and pilot testing are the hallmarks of this phase. This phase may also include the prototype creation.
The output developed includes storyboards, prototype, alpha, beta, and the final delivery of the training.
Implementation
It involves the actually delivery of the training to the learner.
The output is the deployment of the training on the Learning Management System (LMS) or deployment of the classroom training materials.
Evaluation
We determine the effectiveness of the training. We should keep in mind that evaluation in reality takes place at every point throughout the ISD process.
The output is user feedback form analysis and recommendations for enhancement.    

We’ll review each phase in detail in my subsequent posts.
