Instructional Design Models

Instructional Design Models help curriculum developers to “visualize the problem, to break it down into discrete, manageable units” (About e-Learning, 2007)

They “typically specify a method, that if followed will facilitate the transfer of knowledge, skills and attitude to the recipient” (Culata, 2010)

There are over 100 different types of design models including (but not limited to): ADDIE Model Iterative Design Model Kemp Design Model

Most generic model Named for the five phases of design it

incorporates: Analysis Design Development Implementation Evaluation

Analysis The analysis phase clarifies the project

requirements (Culata, 2010)

Analysis The analysis phase clarifies the project

requirements (Culata, 2010)

Design The design phase is the planning phase that

incorporates strategies, objectives, content, subject matter analysis and lesson planning (Culata, 2010)

Development Pulls together the information from the

design phase (Culata, 2010)

Development Pulls together the information from the

design phase (Culata, 2010)

Implementation Applies the curriculum (Culata, 2010)

Implementation Applies the curriculum (Culata, 2010)

Evaluation Allows for review of the curriculum based

on assessments set in place including examinations and user feedback (Culata, 2010)

Based on incremental feedback Several other models use the Iterative model

as a base for their design, including: Rapid Prototyping - continual evaluation

cycle including 7 steps Spiral Model – incorporates 10 steps

Based on Nine (9) Steps1.Identify instructional problems, and specify goals for

designing an instructional program.2.Examine learner characteristics that should receive attention

during planning.3.Identify subject content, and analyze task components

related to stated goals and purposes.4.State instructional objectives for the learner.5.Sequence content within each instructional unit for logical

learning.6.Design instructional strategies so that each learner can

master the objectives.7.Plan the instructional message and delivery.8.Develop evaluation instruments to assess objectives.9.Select resources to support instruction and learning activities.

Author and theorist George Siemens states that:

“the work of instructional designers has changed considerably in the past decade. … The more instructional designers know about the cognitive processes involved in learning and motivation, the more competent and confident they are in designing effective learning resources” (Elearnspace, 2005)
