There’s been some surprising (or maybe not) interest about a discussion I had in one of my courses recently, so I wanted to open it up to everyone. Recently, in my project management course, we compared and contrasted different instructional design models. I was particularly proud that Drs. Sharon Smaldino, Gary Morrison, and Rob Branch contributed to the discussion by offering some quotes to include into our discussion. This made the topic much more relevant and timely. We took at look at:
- ASSURE
- Morrison, Ross & Kemp
- ADDIE
- Smith & Ragan
- Dick & Carey
- DACUM
- Delphi Technique
In their responses, I asked the esteemed faculty to consider what should teachers and designer be sure not to overlook when implementing a model. You can read their responses, as well as see the models we considered in the following presentation from Slideshare.
And I added some notes and links to a wiki page in our course site at: http://interactivelearningenvironments.pbworks.com/Comparing-ID-Models
So what do you think? What should teachers and designer be sure not to overlook?











I think those are all great models. Some of them I have not even heard of. Some of them I learned about in my marketing class. Based on what I already know, I believe that the ADDIE model is a quick and easy, and also is the most commonly used. In my opinion, this one should definitely not be left out.
