A great discussion of the history of ADDIE which makes the point that ADDIE should be viewed as a “plug-and-play” model–use judiciously and add or emphasize components as needed. The figure shown here [http://www.knowledgejump.com/web_pics/isd_robust.jpg](http://www.knowledgejump.com/web_pics/isd_robust.jpg) is a good way to look at the model-as a circle vs as linear. Of course, the whole topic of ADDIE has been extremely polarizing as can be seen in this 2009 debate: [http://goo.gl/oAlp5](http://goo.gl/oAlp5)
