As I approach the end of my developing phase (yes, I know I am way behind), I understand why the ADDIE model adopts an iterative process rather than a sequential one. The fact that one can enter, leave and re-enter each phase makes this model highly adaptable and flexible. While in the development phase, I realized that I have omitted certain aspects in the assessment and the design phase. I could then re-enter, adapt and move on.
Yes round and round we go!!
ReplyDeleteAnd then to the evaluation phase and start again!
Actually really good that you don't have to get it all right first time.
I also found myself going round and round again. At the moment I am challenged to design and develop (round and round) this small project of mine (only a few students are involved with this facilitation session) learning tools and content which will: keep the participants engaged, are clear to them, but still keep the "human touch". I can imagine what challenge this can be for a big group of students. I also keep on asking myself what is the difference between facilitating it this way (by introducing an on line component to the session) and the traditional face-to-face way only.
ReplyDeleteIlse, I think e-learning is not meant to replace traditional face to face, but to make it better, more flexible and hopefully effective based on different learning styles.
DeleteI fully agree, Taka. The move to blended learning as an approach is largely based on that priciple. Keep the human element embedded as much as the technology is embedded, with variety in levels as needed.
DeleteMary go round is the name of the game Rhoda. Lets continue we will get there.
