Learning Management: ADDIE model

The ADDIE model for eLearning project management has five stages: Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.



Analyze: After determinging the scope, market and audience of your eLearning porgram, you must "clarify organizational and training program objectives" (Lynch & Roecker, 2007). This includes identifiying risks, opportunities, budget restrictions, timing, and personnel needed.

Design: Objectives are transformed into a program structure including the sequence, durantion, and pace of proposed learning modules. Learning methods are identified, and administrative requirements are defined. This is the storyboard and instructional design phase.

Development: Creation of infrastructure, content related communication packs, multimedia, reference guides, job aids, necessary additional resources, and assessment criteria.

Implementation: Install all developed materials to delivery channels, set up administrative databases, roll out program communication, schedule learning sessions, and implement training.

Evaluation: Collect all training and project evaluation data, review participant and project performance for report to stakeholders. You should be able to deliver a program and project evaluation report upon completion of the evaluation.
