What does the implementation stage of ADDIE involve?

The implementation stage of the ADDIE model focuses on putting the instructional plan into action. This involves having learners engage with the training module, which provides valuable feedback on how well the instructional materials and methods are working in a real-world context. Piloting the training allows designers to observe learners’ interactions, identify any difficulties, and gather insights on whether the instructional goals are being met. This stage is critical for refining the program before full-scale rollout, ensuring that it meets the needs of the learners effectively.

Creating instructional materials is part of the design stage, where the actual content and activities are developed based on the analysis of learner needs. Analyzing the needs of learners occurs in the analysis phase, where designers identify what learners need to know and how best to deliver that knowledge. Evaluating the effectiveness of the instruction is conducted in the evaluation phase, which happens after implementation, focusing on assessing the impact and determining areas for improvement.
