Instructional Design Models: ADDIE and ASSURE

Instructional Design Models: ADDIE and ASSURE

Introduction
An instructional design is a process where learning and  courses  are designed and developed.  It is a guide for educators to plan innovative activities and methodologies in the learning process. There are different instructional designs they can use, for example: ADDIE and ASSURE Models. These designs help to plan a course in a correct way to achieve students get meaningful learning, so it means they know how to apply the content in real-life situations.

Instructional Design Models

According to Kurt (2015), an instructional design model provides guidelines to organize appropriate pedagogical situations to reach instructional goals. In addition, it is intended to be an iterative process of planning outcomes, choosing effective and innovative strategies for teaching and learning, selecting technological resources. 

There are several instructional design models educators can use to plan their courses, however, these are commonly accepted design models:

ADDIE Model

ADDIE is an instructional model which helps instructors, instructional designers, and teachers to plan and create instruction. This model is used to create all the different kinds of instructions that people can use to teach a topic. For example, teaching mathematical topics as algebra. Moreover, this model is essential and a good option for teachers because it follows the whole learning process which has five phases or stages.

ADDIE Model Phases

This instructional design has five important phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Each stage is essential in this process because educators establish the objectives of online courses in the first one, so that information is useful for the next one. The ADDIE model retained this five-step feature, and included many sub-stages within each of the five broad phases. Due to the hierarchical structure of the steps, one had to complete the process in a linear fashion, completing one phase before starting the next.

ADDIE Model in lesson planning

Integrating this instructional design in a lesson plan is a process because teachers need to follow each stage in order to have effective results in the learning process. It is easy to apply it and you can be an excellent designer.  Click on the icon to look at an example of a lesson plan using this model.

ASSURE Model

According to Kurt, (2015), ASSURE is an isntructional design model which has the objective of producing more effective learning and teaching. This instructional design has six steps, each one is important to achieve get meaningful learning. 

ASSURE Model Phases

This instructional design has six phases educators need to consider when they plan their courses, each stage has characteristics and important information to put into practice when they design. This video explains each phase of this instructional design.

Key information in the ASSURE Model

This picture explains each stage in this instructional design and also key information to consider en each one. Integrating this model is a process because it starts before the semester and finishes at the end of the semester.

Conclusion
There are different instructional designs teachers can use to plan their couses as ADDIE and ASSURE Models. Some educators prefer to use these models because they follow a process to gather information needed for the courses. The most common instructional design is ADDIE, this is easy to implement it and facilitators get meaningful results.
