INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL
AGILE Process
The AGILE instructional design approach is a project-oriented approach introduced by Conrad Gottfredson, a performance-support practitioner. It encompasses the five stages involved when designing eLearning experiences: Align, Get set, Iterate and implement, Leverage and Evaluate. AGILE is an iterative process that gives them the opportunity to use collaboration, feedback and iterations to streamline the eLearning design and development process. This does not only speed up eLearning course development time but it also makes the finished eLearning deliverable more successful.
ALIGN
Instructional designers meet with all stakeholders, eLearning professionals, eLearning content creators, clients and employees to brainstorm and formulate a plan for moving forward with the development of the eLearning course.
GET SET
All members of the group agree upon the appearance and core eLearning content of the eLearning course. Typically this involves smaller segments of the eLearning content, which will be discussed in great detail.
ITERATE
The segment of the eLearning content that was discussed is then developed rapidly, before another meeting is called to address any modifications or additions that need to be made before moving forward.
LEVERAGE AND EVALUATE
Once all the issues have been remedied and concerns have been discussed, the eLearning team then repeats the process again for each section of the eLearning course. Thus, every segment of the eLearning content is fully developed prior to creating the next module or unit.
