Week 7 Instructional Design

The ADDIE model is designed to provide an easy way of understanding instructional designs. However it is not what most developers desire, it has disadvantages.

It is regarded as being broad based and not what most desire, SYSTEMATIC.

A second disadvantage is that the evaluation stage is left to the end of the project. As a result of this, errors detected are only discovered at the end and not throughout the process, which leads to having to spend a great deal of time fixing the problem.

Problems that need to be fixed take time and as we all know time costs money. Often the evaluation process is not fully implemented as a result of being late or behind with deadlines.

The ADDIE and KEMP model both have nine steps, however the KEMP model allows you to start from any step. This provides greater scope for enhanced creativity.

Our Group Discussed what we felt was the most important phase in ADDIE and after considerable discussion the consensus was that it is the analysis phase.

This was chosen as it was decided that we needed to fully understand the user needs inorder to determine what the class members needed to learn.

The group  decided that the biggest disadvantage was its design not being systematic and the fact that most users demand a systematic approach.

The concept map helped with brainstorming for ideas, due to its visual effects. Pictures tell a story and help when designing a map. One is able to navigate themselves through a map by user friendly pictures which help visualise both the structure and navigation path.
