13 Things in Instructional Design

The ADDIE Model for Library Instruction*

Submit this assignment by June 15th at 11:59 pm EST.

Sample Problem:

You are a new instruction coordinator at a medium-sized private university on the east coast of
the United States near the state’s capital. The student body consists of about 10,000
undergraduate students and 3,000 graduate students. Your library has a team of 8 subject-
specific librarians who cover instruction for their specific disciplines.
The university requires all students to take an introductory English course and a discipline-
based upper-level English writing course. Recently, the university has begun to offer many of
the upper-level courses online. The university has also started a new initiative to address
diversity in research.
Your job focuses mainly on coordinating instruction of these mandatory courses. You’ve been
asked by the English Composition department to build new instructional materials for the
upper-level courses to satisfy the online environment and diversity initiatives. You want to set
the library instructors up for success, so you decide to use the ADDIE model to begin the
instructional design process.
The revised assignment for the upper-level English Composition course is to have students
write a research-based advocacy letter for the social justice movement of their choice. You
want to make sure your planned instructional materials support students with this assignment.

Using the problem above, fill out the answers section of the table below.
Feel free to copy and paste or use phrases from the sample problem.
