DESCRIPTION:
I don't really think he left ADDIE behind, but a great read! Ken D. Thomas I both loved and did not love this book so this is going to be a weird review.It's hard to think of anyone who has contributed more to the field of eLearning than Dr. Allen. Michael was on the original PLATO team and was a driving force behind Authorware (he provides a brief description of this time in the beginning of the book). He has been in the practical business of designing and producing eLearning products longer than the term eLearning has been around! Any insights he shares are worth listening to, including those shared in this book.When I first read "leaving ADDIE" in the title, I had a mild panic - I consid. Great Book, Not My Favorite Process I am an experienced Instructional Designer (30 + years). It is a well-written book, but difficult to mask my distaste for SAM1 & SAM2 and the Agile environment. Apparently I've known only bad implementations of Agile, so maybe this works well when Agile is implemented well. My only complaints about the book are the use of 'process' and 'model' as meaning the same thing, and how one can call rework efficient. I was taught ADDIE was iterative and that there is overlap between phases, and experienced it that way. I still see SAM1 and SAM2 as labels for the typical way non-training professionals design/develop training m. Krystian Ramlogan said ADDIE + Common Sense + Iterative Development = SAM. This book is best thought of as a good introduction to SAM with clear and detailed explanations of how you can adapt SAM to your needs. While the process is best suited for E-Learning, it can be adapted for any training being developed. The content is useful and well thought out, however I found it repetitive at certain places and somewhat padded. The sample plan included is good for a basic reference. This was a solid book, although the claim that ADDIE is being left behind is somewhat exaggerated. The book fails to convince me that ADDIE should be left behind.
Once you ve experienced SAM, there s no going back. I urge anyone teaching the traditional ADDIE model to stop what they are doing and read this book. I ll never use ADDIE again.
