IDE 631 Instructional Design and Development I Unit 6 Design Tutorial

Goals of the Tutorial

  • Review the ADDIE phases of the instructional design process

  • Describe the Implementation phase

  • Describe the Evaluation phase

Instructional Design Basics

Purpose of Instruction

  • Instruction is purposeful—its goal is to facilitate learning.

  • Well-designed instruction:

    • Is produced through a systematic process.

    • Has a foundation in learning theory.

    • Is guided by instructional theory.

    • Focuses on closing a performance gap caused by deficiencies in knowledge, skills, or attitudes (KSAs).

The Role of the Instructional Designer (ID)

Strategic and Systematic Work

  • ID work includes:

    • Identifying performance gaps resolved through instruction.

    • Dealing with a lack of knowledge, skills, or attitudes affecting job performance.

    • Designing instructional solutions and materials based on a design blueprint.

    • Preparing for implementation and evaluation to ensure gaps are addressed.

Implementation Phase in ADDIE

Understanding Implementation

  • The fourth phase of the ADDIE process.

  • Focus on planning, delivering, and disseminating instruction:

    • Announcement and preparation for instruction.

    • Setting up the facilities and environment for instruction.

    • Securing human and material resources.

    • Planning for potential challenges.

Preparing for Implementation

  • Considerations for ease or challenges during implementation

    • What makes implementation easy or difficult?

    • Identifying tasks that may have been overlooked.

    • Developing strategies to mitigate possible challenges.

    • Involving stakeholders who can assist in the implementation.

Transitioning From Product to Learning

Methods of Instruction Implementation

  • Steps to move the ADDIE products to learners:

    • Announce and market new instruction.

    • Engage organizational influencers for support.

    • Set up the learning environment (physical or virtual).

    • Solicit resources like books and equipment.

    • Develop schedules and registration processes.

Barriers and Affordances

  • Factors affecting instruction implementation:

    • Environmental conditions regarding physical or online spaces.

    • Timing of instruction considering stakeholder availability.

    • Availability of necessary resources.

    • Planning for contingencies like weather or travel issues.

  • Documentation of the implementation process is crucial for evaluating outcomes.

Evaluation Phase in ADDIE

Understanding Evaluation

  • The fifth phase of the ADDIE process.

  • Focused on data collection and analysis:

    • Gathering data on instruction value.

    • Evaluating if the performance gap was closed using the instruction.

    • Disseminating results and defining next steps.

Preparing for Evaluation

  • Summative evaluation considerations:

    • Types of information to gather and their timing.

    • Evaluation methods (surveys, interviews, focus groups, document analysis).

    • Sources of data (instructors, learners).

    • How results will be interpreted and utilized.

Summary of Implementation and Evaluation Phases

  • Implementation:

    • Preparation for instructional use involves logistics, training, scheduling, and contingency planning.

  • Evaluation:

    • Determines value through data collection from various stakeholders, interpretation of results, and decisions regarding future action.

  • Both phases are essential in resolving performance gaps and potentially leading to enhancements or new instructional offerings.

Conclusion

  • ADDIE is an iterative process with interconnected phases.

  • Decisions in one phase affect all others, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of the entire instructional design process.
