ADDIE Analysis:
Structural Analysis


Learning Objective: The learner will be able to state what type of questions should be asked in order to guide the design as it pertains to organization.


Based on the information gathered in the prior steps, it is now necessary to focus the structure of the instruction.

Some of the questions that should be answered are:
  1. What should the structure of the course be?

    2. Some suggested formats:
    1. A one sitting single training experience
    2. Longer but fewer sessions
    3. Shorter more numberous sessions
    4. An online only solution
    5. A blended solution


  2. What is the appropriate duration for the course in light of the constraints, needs, and expectations?
    • When do the learners need to knowledge or skills by?


  3. What is the appropriate time distribution in the course or training?
    • Time for instruction, assimilation and retention
    • Time for practical skill development (hands-on, simulations, games)
    • Time for test preparation (certifications and other required tests)

The above question should serve as a guide. Identify your own questions that address the organizational structure of the learning and the associated timeline. Do not hesitate to ask questions of prospective learners or those that commission the instruction. It is essential to gather as much information as possible at this stage.
