PREFACE

Leave ADDIE, you say? And why would I do that?

If this is your question, I'm quite inclined to say you should stick with ADDIE. I'm very supportive of any process that reliably and efficiently produces desired results. If ADDIE does this for you, then you're a fortunate person. You have your tool, your comfort zone, your success, and I do sincerely congratulate you.

I mean it.

I used to use and teach the ADDIE process, or what I considered something of the standard ADDIE process. I taught it with assurance and conviction. The ADDIE process of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation is logical, thoughtful, and comprehensive. There's little in the process one can argue with in terms of relevance and importance.
