Week 13: Reading 3

The Attack on ISD is a very interesting article. To me, as an official newcomer to the field, ADDIE serves as a good idea to follow. I can dot my i's and cross my t's and be sure that I'm following an instructional design process. Perhaps as I learn more about instructional design I will be exposed to more models of similar and contrasting natures. As my experience expands, I can make better choices about what models to use, when to adapt them and when to abandon them completely.

At this moment, I think ADDIE is a great model to follow. I've worked as a instructional designer/developer on too many projects without a clue to any process that was or should have been followed. As I learned early in drawing and design: don't break the rules until you know the rules. I'd advocate the same for instructional design.
