Explaining ADDIE

How do you sell instructional design best practice to a boss who is dead-set on going straight to creating mass training?

Check out the video above to see the boss get introduced to ADDIE!

All too often instructional designers become order takers for training.

Hey, we need a training on this!

How quickly can you get a training pulled together for us?

It's not just about the training. It's about the learners, the environment, what employees should be doing that isn't happening, and so on. Heck, sometimes they don't even need a training (isn't that a crazy concept?!). They might just need a ... wait for it .. a job aid.

I created this video with Vyond as a way to frame selling the ADDIE model and why it's an effective way to design a learning experience.
