🤝Have you met ADDIE? The ADDIE model is a versatile and practical framework that covers all the steps of the instructional design process. What may sound like common sense (“Well of course I need to analyze needs before designing!”) can get lost when we are busy and under pressure to deliver. So keep the ADDIE model by your side as you design your trainings. 🔎A for Analyze. Understand the organization’s goals and the learners’ needs to define learning objectives. ✏️D is for Design. The design phase is where you zoom out to craft the overall structure and flow of your course and lesson planning. You may know this phase as storyboarding. 💻D is (also) for Development. After completing a high-level plan, it’s time to build the course content and materials in a learning environment. 🏁I is for Implementation. After all that hard work, it’s time to pilot-test the course and get it out into the world. ✅E stands for Evaluation. The last step of the flow is to collect data and learnings on course effectiveness, and apply them when you start again! By following the ADDIE model, you ensure coherence, effectiveness, and a good dose of efficiency in your instructional design workflow. #LearningDesign #InstructionalDesign

Dear fellow trainers, instructional designers and educators in general. When I was spending more time in designing courses and training, I didn't know this model officially by this catchy(?) acronym, but I think I followed most of these steps. What about you? Are there other models you follow? What was always the hardest part (and I hear others struggle with) is the evaluation. So much time and energy goes in first steps that there is little left for the last one. How do you deal with that?
