HR Basics: ADDIE Model

Описание: HR Basics is a series of short courses, designed to highlight what you need to know about a particular human resource management topic. In today’s HR Basics, we explore the ADDIE model, discussing the best system for creating great training experiences.

Training is the development and delivery of information people will use in their jobs. If you are new to training development and have been thinking of putting together any type of training program, it is important to know and understand the most basic training tool used by professional trainers; it is called the ADDIE model.

The ADDIE model is basically a generic, systematic, step-by-step framework used by instructional designers, developers and trainers to ensure course development and learning does not occur in a haphazard, unstructured way. ADDIE is an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model. Most of the current instructional design models are spin-offs or variations of the ADDIE model. One commonly accepted improvement to this model is the use of rapid prototyping. This is the idea of receiving continual or formative feedback while instructional materials are being created. This model attempts to save time and money by catching problems while they are still easy to fix.

The ADDIE model is a framework that that trainers use to develop great training courses. You will note that this seminar is built around the ADDIE framework. In the first phase, analysis, needs and objectives are established. In the design phase, learning objectives, session structure, resources are identified. During the development phase, content for the training session is completed. The implementation phase involves the preparation and delivery of training content. The evaluation phase is ongoing and ensures all stated goals of the learning process will meet the specified needs.

The five phases—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—represent a dynamic, flexible guideline for building effective training and performance support tools. The ADDIE model is best put to use as soon as someone in an organization thinks there is a need for a training course.
