Instructional Design Models

Instructional design models are structured frameworks that guide the creation of effective educational experiences. They help instructors and trainers organize content, activities, and assessments to ensure learners understand and retain information. Think of them as detailed blueprints that define steps like analyzing learners’ needs, setting goals, designing materials, and evaluating success. These models improve the learning process by making it systematic and focused, leading to more engaging and impactful education. Examples include ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and SAM (Successive Approximation Model).
