Comparing Instructional Design Models: ADDIE, Kemp, and Rapid Prototyping

When designing a course, webinar, or seminar, the choice of instructional design model can greatly impact the fluidity and effectiveness of the design process. In this blog post, we’ll compare three popular models: ADDIE, Kemp, and Rapid Prototyping.

Structure of the Model

ADDIE is a linear model, with distinct phases for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. This structure provides clear guidance but may lack flexibility. In contrast, the Kemp model is circular, with nine interdependent elements that can be addressed in any order. This allows for greater adaptability. Rapid Prototyping is iterative, emphasizing the development of working prototypes and continuous revision based on feedback.

Feedback and Revision

In the ADDIE model, feedback and revision primarily occur during the Evaluation phase. The Kemp model, with its circular structure, integrates feedback throughout the process. Rapid Prototyping places feedback and revision at the heart of the model, with prototypes continuously revised based on feedback.

Role of the Learner

In the ADDIE model, the learner is often viewed as a recipient of the instruction. The Kemp model considers the learner in the design but does not place them at the center. Rapid Prototyping, however, views the learner as an active participant, providing feedback on prototypes.

In conclusion, each of these models offers unique advantages and may be more or less suitable depending on the specific context of the instructional design project.
