Module Structure
Verbs such as “know” and “understand” are vague and do not tell us what the
learners will be doing to demonstrate their understanding. See Table 2 for a list of
specific verbs that may be used in stating your instructional objectives. Remember
the acronym SMART when writing your objectives.
S - specific
M - measurable
A - attainable
R - realistic
T - time bound
Discussion
In IRRI and Duldulao’s models, objectives and topics are presented together. The
Evaluation.
A self-check test, exercise, or other means of assessing learning outcomes are
common features of a module. Follow-up activity or topics for discussion to
reinforce learning may also be included.

may be consulted for further understanding or appreciation of the lesson presented.
Style
Another consideration is the style that you should use. Should it be formal,
informal, or conversational? Decide on the treatment you wish to adapt for your
module.
Regardless of the style used, what is important is clarity arid simplicity.
Tips for Effective Writing
Van Daele (1995) gives a number of suggestions on writing training manuals
that are easy to read. They are as follows:
• Write for your audience
• Organize your material
• Rewrite, revise, and edit your material
• Use charts and illustrations to support your message Identify your subject
• Use clear, short, familiar words
• Eliminate unnecessary words
• Keep sentences short and simple
• Use the active voice
• Use the imperative mood
• Use notes
• Use emphasis
• Use ordering techniques.
• Use point form
• Avoid using only male pronouns.
notes
Use ordering techniques.
Use point form
Avoid using only male pronouns.
Instructional modules are learning materials designed primarily for
independent or self-study. They may also be used to complement instruction.
The recommended components of the module for PhilRice training manuals
are title, overview, objectives, discussion of topics, self-check test and
evaluation activities and references. What is important to remember is to
write your objectives in behavioral terms, focus on the need-to-know kind of
information, and to write clearly and simply.

ADDIE Model Explained:
A military training framework might not be the first thing that comes to mind when
designing employee learning solutions. Yet, the ADDIE model has proven its versatility
and effectiveness far beyond its initial scope, becoming a cornerstone of instructional
design worldwide.
Written by Erik van Vulpen
The ADDIE model is an instructional design tool that can help HR and training
programs in their organization. Although developed in the 1970s, the ADDIE training
model remains the most commonly used model for instructional design because it’s

In the Analyze phase of the ADDIE process, the first task is to identify the problem

lack of skills to move to a more digitized organization. From here, you can identify the
core business problem and decide whether it can be solved through effective training, or

enable you to actively manage these, tailor your training to your audience and make it
more relatable.
“To ensure success when using the ADDIE model, it’s essential to have a clear
understanding of your target audience and focus on setting clear and measurable
learning objectives. This helps guide the content development process and ensures that
learners are achieving their desired learning outcomes,” explains Anchal Dhingra,

Once you’ve collated all of this information, you can create a full training plan, which will
include the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the training.

In the Design phase of the ADDIE model, you translate all the information collated in the

Not every training justifies measurements on all levels. Measuring reactions to the

(Philips, 2003).
The next step is to create a storyboard and/or prototype so that you can easily
communicate the value of the training, particularly to stakeholders. It’s important to brief
stakeholders and update them on the learning goals and learning design choices made
in this phase. Make sure to align with them before you move to the next phase.
Develop
In the Develop phase, you will use your storyboards and/or prototypes as a guide to
creating your courses. You’ve already decided on the core learning objectives. Now it’s
Consider how the training will be delivered: In-person, online, or a mix of the two (a
blended approach)? What will be the instructional strategies, media, and methods?
Learning interventions often use multiple methods and ways to deliver the content.
Once you’ve decided, you can then think about whether you want to build this in-house
or with an external provider. It’s equally important to decide where it will be hosted and
what software and tools you will need (e.g., video conferencing software like Zoom,
“Technology is always evolving, and as a result, the tools we use to create learning content are
constantly changing too. However, despite these changes, the ADDIE model has remained a
timeless framework for instructional design. This is because the ADDIE process describes the
fundamental steps needed to develop a learning program, which apply regardless of the tools or
technology being used.
While specific tools and methods may vary, the ADDIE model provides a structure for the design,
development, and delivery of effective learning programs that has stood the test of time. It’s no
surprise that ADDIE has become the standard for learning content production worldwide.”
Building the learning product in line with the design represents the bulk of the work in
the development phase. You may outsource this part to a trainer who is a subject matter
expert or a training organization with relevant knowledge. It is the role of the
instructional designer to ensure that the learning product will align with the
Once you’ve created your course, test for errors like grammar and spelling and ease of

content accuracy and utility of navigation. Is your learner able to progress through the

responsibilities? Creating a clear communication strategy will make the learning top-of-
Implement
The implementation stage focuses on the delivery of the training and project
management. This includes communicating with learners, logistics, data collection, and
The training delivery is the key element in this phase. Are there any extra guides or
manuals the learners need? How about FAQs that may come up along the way? What
is the protocol if users experience technical difficulties during the training? It’s a sensible
idea to have additional IT support on hand and let learners know who to contact.
Is there a need for side programs that provide extra support to learners in addition to the
main program? These can include weekly one-to-one or group coaching or webinars to
deepen the learning and answer any questions the learners might have.
Do any need to make any physical changes in the work environment for certain training
activities? For example, extra posters, props, or symbols that reinforce key messages
learned.
Now it’s time to share your course or training with your learners. In most cases, courses
are uploaded to an LMS, with pre-set delivery options including who is enrolled, pass
rates, and collection of feedback, as well as delivery, tracking, and reporting. But this

While evaluation is the next and last stage of the ADDIE model, you can already start
gathering your data in the implementation phase of the instructional design process.
Depending on the choices made in the analysis phase, you can use different methods
for training evaluation. These can include training evaluation forms and pre-and post-
training assessments, potentially with a control group. Commonly used instruments are
360-degree feedback, and work output data. Some of these activities fall under the next

Evaluation
Evaluation is an integral part of every stage of the ADDIE learning model, but it also
gets its own phase. As soon as you deliver your first course or workshop, you want
It’s important to evaluate at the design, development, and delivery stages and
continuously evaluate all elements of the program. After your training is first delivered,
there will likely be feedback and questions that were not spotted earlier. Addressing
assessments, observations, or productivity data. All of these sources will highlight what
people learned, how they’ve applied it, and the results achieved.
The instructional design team should evaluate what went well, what can be improved,
and learn as a team. Make a list of improvements that the training program needs and
implement these before the next training. If the program is going to be shelved, you can
still record these improvements so that when the same (or a similar) program is used in
