Adding ADDIE to your GPS

Today the journey has officially begun for the 2014 tour group on the e-learning MPhil HPE safari. In order for us to be sure to reach our destination, we will have to add the route to our GPS. For this journey, you will need to follow the ADDIE route and to do so, let us go slowly through what that really means. ADDIE is a popular instructional design process whereby you systematically develop your e-learning prototype for this module. In this week, we are doing what all good travellers do, and that is to do an Analysis of your intended surroundings.

In this week, you are required to investigate possible ideas for your prototype, as well as identify who your target market is and what it is that they need.  The analysis includes analysing the job, selecting task functions and selecting the setting. Remember, you cannot expect your e-learning activity or project to be successful if you do not know what need you are fulfilling!

To help you get started, why don't you read this interesting article.

On your mark.....get set.....go!
