- 2. A synthesis of this literature reveals the strengths of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) instructional design model. The problem is that the ADDIE instructional design model, although argued by Hokanson, “ADDIE, as a process through which instructional designers design, develop, and implement instructional media and learning environments, does little if anything to encourage further innovation when designing”, (Hokanson, Miller, and Hooper, 2008). He goes on to state that, “One can view the ADDIE model as a recipe for instructional design, a perfunctory and mechanical description or overview of the design process”, (Hokanson, Miller, and Hooper, 2008). The purpose is to to discover the strengths of the ADDIE instructional design model. The need is to understand the contributions of the ADDIE instructional design model, thus pointing out its strengths. The ADDIE model’s strength is that it is linear in nature, which is the basis of some of its criticism, and is the basis for almost every model that has come thereafter, or as Balturay states in regards to all of its stages, “These are common characteristics found in almost all instructional design models”, (Balturay, 2008). The ADDIE model provides a step-by-step sequence of events in teaching an individual lesson. It allows for the objectives or tasks to be defined clearly. It lends itself to neat organization as well. Other advantages or strengths of the ADDIE model are that it is cost effective, and it saves time for both the learner and the instructor. The ADDIE model is so consistent that it makes for effective training in its use, and as a result promotes effective learning. In conclusion the ADDIE model, although proposed for objectives common to the industrial era, is still used today and is the basis for many other model that have come after it. Although other models are different, they still incorporate the same basic layout of the ADDIE concept, which is analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.
