Current Instructional Design Models

Many of the current Instructional Design Models are spin-offs or variations of The ADDIE Model. Other models include the Dick & Carey and Kemp ISD Models. One commonly accepted improvement to this model is the use of rapid prototyping, which is done in the Information Architecture industry. In the long run, short cuts do not provide meaningful or lasting results.

This is the idea of receiving continual or formative feedback (usability testing) while instructional materials or Websites are being created. This model attempts to save time and money by catching problems, while they are still easy to fix—similar to The IA Model.



Information Architecture—Usability Testing


Instructional design theories also play an important role in the design of instructional materials, including Information Architecture and Usability Testing because Websites have to be designed so end users can use them. Theories such as behaviorism, constructivism, social learning, cognitivism do help shape and define the outcome of learning materials (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADDIE_Model). Websites that work for end users make it possible for them to access and efficiently use online resources for learning or social networking.
