Addie Model; An Overview
This model has been included in my companion list of theories as an important element in understanding and evaluating training programs in a area other than academic study. With the popularity of online training continually increasing, gaining an understanding of the ADDIE model was a critical component in my own training. As well, once I began to apply each phase of this model to the consulting project assigned, I was inspired to conduct further research on the quality of online training and enlisted my family and friends to assist me by taking a selection of online courses and completing my survey. Although my study was extremely small, it did provide valuable insight into the technical abilities and online preferences of those whose computer use was fairly limited. Furthermore, the study and research led me to begin designing an online training program of my own.
Instructional Design Model; ADDIE
The ADDIE model is a systematic instructional design model consisting of five phases: (1) Analysis, (2) Design, (3) Development, (4) Implementation, and (5) Evaluation. Various flavors and versions of the ADDIE model exist. Each step has an outcome that feeds into the next step in the sequence.
The five phases of ADDIE are as follows:
Analysis

The five phases of ADDIE are as follows:
Analysis
- During analysis, the designer identifies the learning problem, the goals and objectives, audience needs, existing knowledge, and any other relevant characteristics. Analysis also considers the learning environment, constraints, the delivery options, and the timeline for the project.
- A systematic process of specifying learning objectives. Detailed storyboards and prototypes are often made, as well as the look and feel, graphic design, user-interface and content is determined in this phase.
- The actual creation (production) of the content and learning materials based on the design phase.
- During implementation, the plan is put into action and a procedure for training the learner and teacher is developed. Materials are delivered or distributed to the student group. After delivery, the effectiveness of the training materials is evaluated.
- This phase consists of (1) formative and (2) summative evaluation. Formative evaluation is present in each stage of the ADDIE process. Summative evaluation consists of tests designed for criterion-related referenced items and providing opportunities for feedback from users. Revisions are made as necessary.

Second Life Learning; Using Instructional Design Principles
Below is a presentation I created with Prezi software in which I introduce the ADDIE model for instructional design through second life learning. Based on my findings in the literature, I created an account in Second Life to explore this mode of learning. Though it took a little getting used to, I could certainly see the usefulness of this program for second language learners or simulation exercises for training.
