ADDIE MODEL,INTERVIEW
DO’S & DON’TS AND TYPES
OF INTERVIEWS
AT ITS CORE, ADDIE FOLLOWS A FIVE STEP APPROACH USED IN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN.
HOWEVER, OVER THE YEARS, IT HAS MORPHED FROM A LINEAR APPROACH TO A MORE
CIRCULAR APPROACH, AS INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS HAVE BEGUN CREATING
ITERATIONS OF THEIR COURSES.
BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THE FIVE STEPS OF ADDIE, THINK ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DO ON A
REGULAR BASIS – FOR EXAMPLE, GROCERY SHOP.
LET’S ASSUME THAT YOU ARE PREPARING THE WEEKLY GROCERY LIST. FOR MANY OF US,
THE FIRST THING WE DO IS TAKE AN INVENTORY OF WHAT ITEMS WE CURRENTLY HAVE ON
HAND AND WHAT OUR GOALS ARE FOR MEALS THAT WEEK.
AFTER COMPLETING THAT STEP, WE MAY WRITE A GROCERY LIST, FOLLOWED BY A MEAL
PLAN.
ONCE WE HAVE THAT, IT’S OFF TO THE GROCERY STORE TO PICK-UP THE ITEMS ON THE LIST
AND THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, PREPARE MEALS. AT THE END OF THE WEEK, WE MAY PAUSE
AND ASK OURSELVES IF THE PLAN WENT AS EXPECTED OR IF WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES.
• NOW, LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND SEE HOW THAT SAME PROCESS APPLIES
TO COURSE CREATION.
• ANALYSIS
• DESIGN
• DEVELOPMENT
• IMPLEMENTATION
• EVALUATION
ANALYSIS
THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL BEGIN LOADING CONTENT INTO THE LEARNING
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, FOR EXAMPLE, THINKIFIC. DURING IMPLEMENTATION, YOU
WILL ALSO BE CHECKING TO ENSURE ALL CONTENT FUNCTIONS, STUDENTS CAN
ENROLL, AND ACCESS CONTENT, ASSESSMENTS AND SURVEYS HAVE BEEN ADDED,
AND THE COURSE IS READY TO LAUNCH.
EVALUATION
WHILE LISTED AS THE FIFTH AND FINAL STEP, THIS IS ONE THAT YOU WILL
CONTINUALLY IMPLEMENT.
DURING THE EVALUATION FOCUS ON IF THE COURSE HAS MET THE GOALS FOR
THE COURSE, IMPLEMENTING FEEDBACK FROM THE LEARNERS, AND
POTENTIALLY MAKING CONTENT CHANGES OR UPDATES.
BASED ON YOUR FINDINGS DURING THE EVALUATION PHASE, YOU’LL GO BACK
TO REFINE YOUR TRAINING THROUGH ANALYSIS, DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENTATION
ALL OVER AGAIN
INTERVIEW DO’S AND DON’T
INTERVIEW DO’S
• DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR THE INDUSTRY; ERR ON THE SIDE OF BEING
CONSERVATIVE TO SHOW YOU TAKE THE INTERVIEW SERIOUSLY. YOUR PERSONAL
GROOMING AND CLEANLINESS SHOULD BE IMPECCABLE.
• KNOW THE EXACT TIME AND LOCATION OF YOUR INTERVIEW; KNOW HOW LONG IT
TAKES TO GET THERE, PARK, FIND A REST ROOM TO FRESHEN UP, ETC.
• ARRIVE EARLY; 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW START TIME [OR EARLIER IF THE
EVENT OR EMPLOYER INSTRUCTS YOU TO DO SO].
• TREAT OTHER PEOPLE YOU ENCOUNTER WITH COURTESY AND RESPECT. THEIR
OPINIONS OF YOU MIGHT BE SOLICITED DURING HIRING DECISIONS.
• LISTEN TO BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR INTERVIEWER'S NAME AND THE
CORRECT PRONUNCIATION.
• EVEN WHEN YOUR INTERVIEWER GIVES YOU A FIRST AND LAST NAME, ADDRESS YOUR
INTERVIEWER BY TITLE (MS., MR., DR.) AND LAST NAME, UNTIL INVITED TO DO
OTHERWISE.
• SIT STILL IN YOUR SEAT; AVOID FIDGETING AND SLOUCHING.
