  • Review of AFLF Workshop – Introducing ADDIES

    By Alison Bickford on November 6, 2011

    Thank you to Kerry for posting a review on a Sydney Institute of TAFE blog of an e-learning instructional design workshop presented by myself and Duy Hyunh of Beyond Edge for the Australian Flexible Learning Framework.

    There was some discussion about the ADDIES model we presented – ADDIE with a “S. The “S” is really about operationalising the e-learning course after implementation. For example, reminding people that it exists, embedding it into workflow, and ensuring it is included in user testing when the IT standard operating environment is scheduled to change.

    I am happy to share this model here, for your review. Click the image to download.

    Should you have any questions about this workshop or the ADDIES model, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
