Those of us on the faculty side have likely not heard of instructional design models (or have heard very little). However, I would argue that learning about common instructional design models can help us to improve our course design and assessment in ways that best benefit our students.
The two most common instructional design models are the ADDIE model and the Dick and Carey model. Let's talk about each briefly.*
*This is the MOST brief of introductions. Read through the blog posts linked if you want to learn more!
The ADDIE Model
ADDIE stands for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Evaluation, while identified as the final step, actually takes place during each step; however, the last step is a formal, summative evaluation.
The ADDIE model is traditionally presented as a mind map (to see my *ahem* incredible mind map, click here) To visualize it in a different way (am I the only one who finds mind maps not ideal for how I think or visualize information?), I designed the following graphic:
The Dick and Carey Model
The other widely used instructional design model is the Dick and Carey Model.

You may have noticed that I included a variety of content above (graphics, textual description, audio overview, and links to more information). This was intentional. When we are presenting information to our students, varying the delivery method breaks up long portions of text that can be difficult to read or comprehend, engages multiple senses, and provides multiple viewpoints on a particular topic.
I am far from a podcaster, a YouTube starlet, or a graphic designer. Yet, I try to integrate these as much as I can into my courses and workshops. You can too!
Free resources abound for screen recording (like Screencast-O-Matic), audio recording or podcasting (like Audacity), or help creating graphics, backgrounds, brochures and others (I use Canva). The more you utilize these extensions, the easier they will become and the higher quality your results. No better time than the present to get started.
