Develop Training Materials using ADDIE

PHASE-1: ANALYSIS

How to develop Course Materials?

The Instructional Design Process




1. Define the target population for training.
2. List the tasks to be performed by the target population on the job.
3. List the skills and knowledge needed to do the tasks.
4. Select the skills and knowledge to be taught. (These make up the “training objectives.”)
5. Organize the selected skills and knowledge into suitable teaching units (modules) and develop the training design (including brief outlines of module content and planned training methods).
6. Draft expanded outlines of modules, including instructional objectives, main body of text, and descriptions of training methods, examples and exercises.
7. Experts provide realistic examples and information for use in exercises.
8. Draft the complete modules, facilitator guidelines, and course director guidelines.
9. Field-test the training materials.
10. Revise and finalize training materials based on the field test.

The way of ID subject presentation will be in a predefined and well architectural manner. To achieve this beyond screen ID's will do bunch of work. They follow ADDIE a standard model to analyse learners needs, designing mirror view, developing content, implementing with ready-to-understand structure and again recycle this process after evaluation.
