Instructional Design Model

While there are many Instructional Design models available, for IDT 8010, Instructional Design, I was tasked with creating my own. So I created the D-Addie model, which is a take on the very well known Addie model. The main difference is that the model I designed is heavily interwoven with discussion throughout each of the steps.

While there are many reasons to incorporate discussions while in the instructional design process, one of the benefits is that you get constant feedback and help from those around you. This feedback and help allows for a better end product. Again, education for ALL, means including ALL in the design process. There is no shame in reaching out to others for feedback and help, as this will create a better end product that can be used by more.

This project helped me realize that while instructional design models are all over, they are always up for interpretation to meet your needs. While these models are widely respected and common, there is nothing wrong with taking them and adapting them to best fit your needs, which is exactly what I did.
