What does ADDIE stand for?

• A. Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation
• B. Analysis, Design, Deployment, Implementation, Evaluation
• C. Diagnosis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation
• D. Analysis, Design, Development, Evaluation, Implementation

Answer: (B)

ADDIE is a sequence for designing and managing instructional projects. It starts by examining what learners need, the context, and constraints, so you can set clear goals. Then you plan how to achieve those goals, including what the learning will look like and how you’ll measure success. Next you actually create the learning materials and activities—the content, media, and activities learners will use. After that, the instruction is delivered to learners, and you support its rollout. Finally, you evaluate the results to see what worked, what didn’t, and what to improve next. The standard terminology uses Development for creating the materials and Implementation for delivering them. Some contexts use Deployment as a synonym for Implementation, but Development is the conventional term for the third phase. So the commonly accepted sequence is Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation.
