Design

Key is Training Goals and Audience characteristics

Many instructional Designs methods are available:1. ADDIE : a linear model named for its method (analysis, design, development, imple -mentation, and evaluation). > most common2. Models using iterations and prototypes, rapid prototyping design and successive appro -ximation.Overall, all models are used for effective instruction. And Nearly all design models include

** Key components**3. Learners4. Objectives5. Methods6. Evaluation

No One model is superior to anotherThe most cost-effective, efficient process is the goal of the instructional designer
