How We Work

The ADDIE Model: 

Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation & Evaluation

Analyze

Before you start developing any content or training strategy, you should analyze the current situation in terms of current training plans, knowledge gaps, inefficiencies/efficiencies, and target outcomes. 

Once this is done, you can generate a training plan that addresses:

Who, What, When, Where, Why, How?

Design

With your training plan done, you then get to the design phase - this is where you take all of the answers of the previous phase and use it to make practical decisions. This includes a strategy, delivery methods, structure, duration, assessment, and feedback. The next step is to storyboard your ideas and/or create a prototype.

Development

At this stage, you can begin to create the courses. You will be heavily guided by the prototype/storyboards at this point.

Each element of the course should be developed to match the design phase. The core of the content has already been decided. All you need to add is a level of detail and polish to the courses

Implementation

Once you have completed your courses and you are satisfied that they are fully tested, it’s time to share them with the learner.

The decisions made in the design phase will influence how this is actually carried out. In the majority of cases, the courses are uploaded to an LMS and the delivery options are set up - who are enrolled, how much time are they given, pass marks for assessments, and the collection of feedback.

Evaluation

ADDIE’s main goal is to provide a structured method of creating training programs. It is also a powerful model for improving the way in which future iterations are created. Getting feedback on every aspect of the courses is really important so that you can improve and revise the content.
