Last Updated: March 2026

The ADDIE Model is the most widely used instructional design methodology, consisting of five phases: Analysis (identifying training needs and learner characteristics), Design (defining learning objectives and content strategy), Development (creating training materials), Implementation (delivering training), and Evaluation (measuring effectiveness).
