ADDIE is an instructional that helps instructors, instructional designers, and plan and create instruction. The ADDIE model is used to create all kinds of instruction, from teaching potential stock brokers about mutual funds to training helicopter pilots on emergency landing techniques. In this presentation, however, we will use simpler examples to illustrate the ADDIE principles.

The ADDIE model includes five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Let's take a closer look at the fourth phase, the implementation phase. There are three parts to the implementation phase: , , and .

In a lot of cases, the person that develops a course or training is also the one that teaches it. But there are also plenty of situations where the turns the course over to a different or instructor. Let's say a friend hired you to develop the material for his beginning guitar class. After you have gone through the analysis, design, and development phases, you'll want to train your friend on the you've developed. He'll need to know the and activities you've planned and be familiar with all of the media and he is going to use.

This means you'll have to have all the materials ready well before the first so your friend has time to get acquainted with the material and be comfortable with it. In professional settings, developers sometimes have to train dozens of instructors on a particular course or in many different areas.

The next part of the implementation phase is preparing the learners for instruction. This means making sure they have the tools and knowledge necessary to participate in the class. In settings, this means verifying they have taken the proper , gone through any necessary , and are trained on any that would be utilized in the class. In our example, your friend would have to make sure each student knew when and where the guitar class was taking place, as well as what materials they would have to provide for themselves, like a guitar, tuner, and pick.

Once the instructor and learners are prepared, it is necessary to make sure that the is arranged. This means more than just making sure there are enough chairs and desks for everyone. Let's say that, in our example, your instructor is going to show your students a video about how to tune guitars. He'll want to make sure that he has the technology available to do this. It is also a good idea to test any beforehand in the actual learning space. This will help ensure that the instruction will go smoothly without any .

Instructors should also do things like print out all the they will use during the instruction and make sure they have a and markers ready if they are planning on using them. Getting these types of details squared away beforehand allows instructors to put their full attention to and focusing on the .

So that's it for our basic overview of the implementation phase of the ADDIE model. Properly training the instructor, preparing the learners, and arranging the learning space will make the much more effective and efficient. Next, we'll discuss the final phase in the ADDIE process, the . We'll see you then.
