ADDIE
What is ADDIE?
ADDIE is an acronym that stands for five fundamental principles of teaching and learning, which are widely used in educational settings. The acronym ADDIE represents:A - Analysis: This stage involves identifying the learning objectives, analyzing the task or problem to be solved, and determining what skills or knowledge are required.
D - Design: In this stage, instructors design the instructional strategy, including the selection of materials, methods, and assessments that will help learners achieve the desired outcomes.
D - Development: The development stage involves creating the instructional materials, such as lesson plans, activities, and assessments, based on the design created in the previous stage.
I - Implementation: This is the stage where the instruction is delivered to the students, either face-to-face or online. Instructors provide guidance, support, and feedback throughout the implementation process.
E - Evaluation: The evaluation stage involves assessing the effectiveness of the instruction by measuring student learning outcomes, gathering feedback, and making adjustments as needed to improve future instructional design.
The ADDIE model is a cyclical process that emphasizes continuous improvement, allowing instructors to refine their teaching practices based on the results of each iteration.

The ADDIE model is a framework used in instructional design and training and development to guide the creation of learning experiences and performance support tools. The acronym stands for five phases—Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate.
Developed in the 1970s as part of the U.S. military’s Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development (IPISD), the model became a general term for systematic instructional design approaches rather than a single proprietary method.
ADDIE is now used in both linear and iterative forms across education, government, and corporate training. Variants such as the U.S. Navy’s PADDIE+M add planning and maintenance phases to support continuous improvement.
