ADDIE 

The ADDIE model is a well known traditional model for course design. There are five steps of the process: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Each step builds to the next step with revisiting previous steps as needed. Many other course design models have emerged with the ADDIE model as a foundation. 

Learning experience designers can help with all phases of course development using the ADDIE model.

1. Analyze - The analysis step considers what is to be taught, learning outcomes, the learning environment, and the learners. Some considerations of this step are who are the learners, what are they expected to learn, barriers to learning, how the content will be taught, and completion expectations. Analysis of learner skills, prior knowledge, and learning outcomes are the focus of this step.

2. Design - The design step focuses on the actual teaching in more detail with an emphasis on specifics. What are the learning outcomes, practice opportunities, instructional content, and assessment strategies? Planning is essential. Storyboards are often used to design the instructional strategies and design of the course. What will be taught? How will it be taught? And how will learning be identified?

3. Develop - The development step is when the planning from the design phase is put in to place in the course. Prior to implementation, the course is tested, reviewed and revised as needed based on feedback. This is a great opportunity to collaborate with the Faculty Development Center, learning experience designers and colleagues for guidance and feedback on technologies and instructional pedagogy/andragogy.

4. Implement - The implementation step is the actual teaching of the course. It is important for the content, instructor, learner, and materials to be prepared and functioning. 

5. Evaluate - The evaluation step occur during the course (formative) and upon completion (summative). Formative evaluation happens during each step of the ADDIE process. Summative evaluation happens at the completion of the course and is often based on learner feedback. 

ADDIE design is sometimes criticized for not being iterative. Updated versions adjust for that easily and so can you. Simply revisit any steps of the process as needed. For example, your course is not complete after you design, develop, implement, and evaluate. You should keep notes throughout the semester on things you want to change or adjust. Analyze how things went during the semester based on your experience and the student experiences. Then design, develop, and implement any changes to be re-evaluated again after the next semester. 

Inclusive ADDIE

From the article Inclusive ADDIE: Initial Considerations for DEI Pedagogy (Gamrat, 2022).

The Inclusive ADDIE model is an extension of the ADDIE model to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) when designing and teaching a course. "A welcoming environment for students avoids negative stereotypes and unconscious bias while encouraging respect, representation, access, communication, and support for students with varying abilities."

The Inclusive ADDIE model still focuses on the five key components of ADDIE while expanding on each to incorporate DEI practices.

Analysis

• Introspection - reflection on your teaching practices
• Needs - consideration of who the students are and their professional goals
• Context - look at the context of the course, program, campus, and career field

Design

• Lessons - explore equitable instruction with consideration of diversity, technology options (or lack of) and student backgrounds
• Understanding - consider course content and assessments for how outcomes are being met

Development

• Supporting Structures - consider the support structures of a course

Implementation

• Interactions - reflect on the opportunities for interactions within the course

Evaluation

• Values - assess teaching effectiveness
• Evolution - consider future improvement to the course and teaching
