Can we create learning experiences that will consistently & comprehensively improve performance?
I believe any instructional design challenge can be met and the learning experience can be optimized, if we use a well-thought-out process.
The ADDIE process is a kind of project management approach to optimizing performance. We
- analyze learners, tasks, & organizational needs to determine ideal performance & knowledge, skills required to attain ideal performance, then…
- design optimal learning experiences for the knowledge & skills required…
- develop learning experiences using graphics, video, eLearning, presentation, & document design software…
- implement the design & ensure learning experiences align with performance goals…, then
- evaluate learner reactions, knowledge gained, the skills applied to workplace, & the effects on performance.
Using a specific process ensures that instruction to improve performance is direct, concrete, and targeted to specific challenges.
