In the preceding lessons, you learned about the first two stages of the ADDIE Instructional Development process: Analysis and Design. At this point, it should be clear to you that prior to any development, it is essential that you take the time to plan your analysis, perform your learner and task analysis, and design your learning objectives and course assessments.

How easy is it to read this text? Does it hurt your eyes? Can you imagine being forced to take an entire course that used colors like this? Do you think you would learn much, or do you think you might quit early because of a headache? This is one example of poor interface design.

Don’t actually read all the text below, just step back and look at the overall slide layout. Could it be that there is just too much text on this one slide? Would taking an entire course full of slides like this motivate you to learn? This is another example of poor interface design. Don’t read this part, it’s just filler text designed to make a point…As described in Assignment 2, ID-SME is a web-based course designed for subject matter experts (SMEs) who need to create instruction that effectively transfers their expertise to others. As a basic course in instructional design, ID-SME discusses the ADDIE process with a focus on “how” one goes about designing and developing effective instruction, without delving too far into the theory or details behind the “why” of the ADDIE process. ID-SME provides SMEs with the basic knowledge and skills needed to create web-based course materials that are based on sound instructional design principles. At a high level, the target audience for this instruction is SMEs who have little to no knowledge of instructional design practices. Their primary job responsibilities revolve around their area of expertise – software engineering – not instructional design or development, and they may or may not have access to an instructional design staff. They are interested in instructional design only as a means to better transfer their subject matter knowledge to others. More specifically, the target for this project is a software engineer with an advanced degree who is very comfortable with technology.
