Here's a blast from the past. It's the model based on a five-step process for developing learning resources: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE). "I would not define ADDIE as outdated as it is still the most thoroughly used instructional design process," writes Kris Taylor. This article describes each of the steps in some detail, looks at the strengths and weaknesses of ADDIE, and compares it to the Successive Approximation Model (SAM). "ADDIE has a more structured, waterfall-like modality, which helps ensure all tasks are completed by a specific time, similar to a project management process," writes Taylor, while "SAM allows IDs to conduct multiple phases at once to be more iterative and more agile than ADDIE."
