Instructional Design is a multistep process that occurs prior, during and after instruction.Each step contains multiple components to ensure that a lesson or tool is effective, efficient and relevant to the audience.Taking the time to analyze the needs of your audience and create a product that addresses those needs is essential to the successful launch, implementation and maintenance of the product (e.g., lesson plan, activity, tool).
This Wiki is intended to provide a forum for preservice and current teachers to discuss inclusion of students with high incidence disabilities in the general education classroom.Since contributors will post real life situations and questions, appropriate resources will vary as different topics are introduced into the discussion.Therefore, the design model needs to have flexibility in its design while recognizing that this site is voluntary and the participants should not be formally assessed to determine learning. Rather, monitoring should be continuous to determine if needs are being met and what additional areas of need have surfaced.
Using the Instructional Systems Design Model ADDIE will enable the creation of a Wiki that teachers and parents of students with disabilities may use as a resource. The steps of ADDIE permit a continuous, flexible design process that allows content to be altered to meet current participant needs.Flexibility includes the ability to implement multiple stages at the same time, thus increasing the ability to alter content to make this a relevant tool.

Dick and Carey’s Model of Instructional Design provides a specific, detailed model for design.Despite the emphasis on evaluating and refining instruction to meet the needs of learners, many of the other components are not applicable to this project as this is a voluntary tool where the development, implementation and monitoring of participants should not be treated as a lesson with traditional students.The following chart compares features of each model that contributed to the chosen design model for this tool.
Dick and Carey Systems Approach
ADDIE Design Model
Application to Promote Inclusion:
Benefit of ADDIE over Dick and Carey
Emphasizes evaluating and refining instruction
Analyze and evaluate are components
Both models include evlauation and modificaiton of content
Rigid steps
Flexible, overlap
Comments posted by participants will impact content revisions
Cumbersome
Five general phases
The content will be constantly changing. Implementing a practical, efficient method will assist with maintaining the site.
Criterion-referenced tests
Formative and summative assessments
Identifying sub-skills for learners is not applicable to this project
