Goals and Design

Now that we have explored learning theories that are the foundation of instructional design.  Our goal is to consider instructional design models, these processes assist us in applying learning theories in a systematic, yet often iterative manner as we design instruction. Although there are many different approaches, most ISD models follow ADDIE: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.  The following describes each stage of ADDIE:

1. Analysis - The process for identifying and defining what is to be learned
2. Design - The process of determining how it is to be learned-based on audience need, timetable, and budget
3. Development - The process of authoring and producing the learning materials
4. Implementation - The process of installing the learning solution within the real-world business environment
5. Evaluation - The process of measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning, based on the stated objectives

With this is mind, we have developed four lesson via tutorials that you can watch in hopes that you can implement them in your distance education program.
