Overview

Implications for Instructional Design

The ADDIE Model is a systematic approach to instructional design that ensures well-planned, goal-oriented learning experiences tailored to meet the needs of the target audience. It guides instructional designers through a step-by-step process, preventing oversight of important aspects such as learner needs and content evaluation.

The model’s linear structure promotes clarity when working with stakeholders or clients, as each phase provides clear deliverables and expectations. It emphasizes evaluation, critical for improving the design and ensuring the instructional outcomes are met. Although its phases are typically sequential, they allow for flexibility and iteration, enabling designers to revisit earlier stages as needed.
