== The following are the sections of the A.D.D.I.E. document. Each section is laid out in specific format and order as related to __A__ (analysis), __D__ (Design), __D__ (Development), __I__ (Implementation) and __E__ (Evaluation). == = =

=Section 1 - Need Analysis=

Executive Summary
Write a brief description of the organization and it's mission. Identify what performance problem exists and any causes of the problem that have been identified.

Business Need
Clearly state the purpose of the project and how performance will be improved. Here is where you will define what the current performance levels are.

Learning Opportunity
Here you will describe what type of training solution is being proposed.

Expected Benefits
Define or list the benefits to the organization that this project will provide. Describe what the desired performance outcomes are. This is where the question "is it worth fixing?" is answered.

Audience Analysis
Describe any characteristics of the target audience that you already know. A secondary learner audience may be defined here, if applicable. If further audience analysis is required, state type of information and how it will be collected (surveys, focus groups, job/task analysis, interviews, etc.).

Project Design
Here you can describe, in general terms, what type of learning solution you are proposing (an instructor-led class/synchronous, elearning/asynchronous, blended solution). You will also want to include any unusual aspects of the project design such as the need for a third-party to develop content, video, audio, photographs, etc. that will need to be considered.

Project Success Measures
Describe how learning will be measured (e.g., how will you know the training has been successful).

Out of Scope
Clearly state what will not be covered in this project.

Estimated Project Costs
Define the costs to the project (breaking down the costs into phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) is helpful. Be sure to include direct and indirect costs and how long it will take to complete the project.

=Section 2 - Performance Analysis= Job/Task Analysis - format as needed according to the type of data you collected.

=Section 3 - Design Document Template=



**Scope of Project**
Here you will state the course goal and who the primary audience is, define what the delivery strategy will be (ILT, elearning, WebEx, blended), and how long the course is. Describe how the pilot will be delivered and how the pilot students were selected (if applicable).

Course Objectives
You will state the learning objectives for each of the modules and any subordinate objectives that you have defined. Define clearly what performance levels are acceptable to pass the course and what the remediation plan is if these levels are not reached.

Costs/Timeframes
Describe how long the course development, pilot, revisions, and final deployment will take. Break down the program costs by each phase (ADDIE).

Delivery
Describe how the course will be structured by topic (e.g., a syllabus). If possible, establish what the course timing will be.

Outline
In outline form, list the topics for the course.

Learning Components/Materials
Using the structure defined in the course outline, provide details as to what the course will cover and how long each topic will take to facilitate. Make sure that each learning objective and subordinate objective is included and the corresponding learning events noted. Include formative evaluation events as they would occur or separately but ensure that each evaluation event is clearly linked to a learning objective If the pilot will be different than the final course, note the differences here.

A good way to present this information is in a table with the following headers:

__Module ¦ Learning Objective ¦ Subordinate Objective ¦ K ¦ S ¦ A ¦ Learning Activity ¦ Assessment__

KSA = Knowledge, Skill, or Attitude. This is important to define because your learning activity and assessment will be different for each of these.

Administration and Evaluation
Describe how the course will be administered and evaluated. Who will maintain learning records? Who will perform the summative evaluation?

Miscellaneous
Include anything about the course not otherwise mentioned (e.g., course design/development team members, SMEs, resources used, etc.)

=Section 4 - Development Plan=

At this point, you should be considering what module (or section) of your project you will develop the learning materials/components. You will document your development plans in Section 4. A development plan is unique to each project and therefore it's difficult to provide a "template" for it. However, below are some elements that should be included in your development plan based on the type of delivery you have selected (this list is not comprehensive, you are encouraged to include anything else you feel is necessary for the module you have chosen).


 * 1) **Instructor-led classroom** - should include pre-instructional activities, a lesson plan and teaching materials, and a participant's guide, as well as any formative and summative evaluations.
 * 2) **Self-directed learning** (CBT, elearning, paper-based self-study, etc.) - should include all materials that the learner will interact with as well as any formative and summative evaluation materials and how this information will be distributed and/or collected. In addition, you will want to document
 * 3) **Storyboards and/or Flowcharts** - defining the instructional sequence.
