Analysis of the IDI Model

1. Analysis of the IDI Model By: Julie Beyer & Carl Weckerle

3. Format for Analysis • History of the IDI Model • Systems approach • Aligned with ADDIE • Uniqueness • Strengths and Criticisms • Questions

4. History of IDI • Instructional Development Institute (IDI) Model [1973] • Created by the University Consortium for Instructional Development & Technology (UCIDT) • IT departments from Michigan State University, Syracuse University, University of Southern California, Indiana University and US International University • Used to train school personnel in principles of instructional systems design • 5-7 day workshops on ISD • 400 Institutes, 20 states, 20,000 teachers

5. Systems Approach • Governed by a process • Interrelated parts • these parts are working toward a common goal • Purposeful • Organized • Stresses feedback • Considers the larger environment

6. I Define

8. In the 'A' (Analysis) Box Step One - “Identify Problem” • Assess Needs • Conduct Needs Assessment • Establish Priorities • Among Various and Conflicting Needs • State Problem • State one or more problems that need to be addressed

10. In the 'A' (Analysis) Box (cont.) Step Two - “Analyze Setting” • Audience • Learner characteristics • Conditions • Under which development should occur • Relevant Resources • What material and human resources are available for developing and delivering the solution

12. In the 'A' (Analysis) Box (cont.) Step Three - “Organize Management” • Tasks • Stating of major tasks • Responsibilities • Assigning the tasks to team members • Time Line • Established timeline to insure completion

13. II Develop

15. In the 'D' (Design) Box • Step Four - “Identify Objectives” • Terminal Objectives (TO) • Enabling Objective (EO) • The mnemonic ABCD provides a helpful reminder that objectives must include an (A) Audience, (B) Behavior, (C) Condition, and (D) Degree of performance

17. In the 'D' (Design) Box (cont.) • Step Five – “Specify Methods” • Learning • Instruction • Media • Selecting strategies and media based on the type of objective

19. In the 'D' (Development) Box • Step Six - “Construct Prototypes” • Instructional Materials • Building of testable draft of materials • Evaluation Materials • By making a prototype, you can test the materials before spending the money to find out they do not work.

20. III Evaluate

22. In the 'E' (Evaluation) Box • Step Seven - “Test Prototypes” • Formative Evaluation • “Conduct Tryout” • Within conditions similar to actual use • Pilot program • “Collect evaluation data”

24. In the 'E' (Evaluation) Box (cont.) • Step Eight - “Analyze Results” • “Objectives” • Learner achievement • “Methods” • Effectiveness of instruction • “Evaluation Techniques” • Appropriateness of evaluation

26. In the 'I' (Implementation) Box • Step Nine - “Implement Recycle” • “Review”, “Decide”, “Act” • Return to a previous step if there is a deficiency or • Implement a solution

27. Summative Evaluation? • Where is the summative evaluation? • Dissemination of the results is assumed and a further step was at one time considered

28. Why is the IDI Model Unique? • Organize Management step • added due to a belief that poor management often leads to failure • Lot of front-end analysis (common to systems models) • Lack of summative evaluation

29. Strengths • Three levels of detail • General – non-designers • Intermediate - • In-Depth – experienced designers • Linear • Step by step (for beginners)

30. Criticisms • Linearity • Too rigid • Lack of refinement since creation • Should organize management be done after steps 1 and 2? • Lack of summative evaluation
