ITERATIVE DESIGNS

(SPIRAL AND RAPID

PROTOTYPING)
PREPARED BY: JESSICA B. BELARDO
 ITERATIVE DESIGNS
•Iterative design is a process of
improving and polishing a design over
time.
•It can apply to a learning experience ,
the creation of media , or the
development of learning systems.
 REASONS TO USE ITERATIVE
DESIGN
•It provides robust feedback
•It can catch problems earlier
•It measurably improves usability
•It’s efficient and cost-effective
 SPIRAL MODEL
• Originally conceived for software development , the
spiral model combines both design and prototyping into
each phase of the process.
• It was defined by Barry Boehm in his 1988 article, “A
Spiral Model of Software Development and
Enhancement.”
• Spiral Model (Boehm) is a risk-centered development
model where each spiral includes major risk activities/
assessments.
PHASES OF THE SPIRAL MODEL
 HOW TO APPLY THE SPIRAL
MODEL OF ITERATIVE DESIGN IN
E-LEARNING
• Identify needs and break down the eLearning budget
• Set a realistic design and development schedule
• Create communication guidelines
• Determine the risks involved and create A and plan B
• Develop a phased prototype
• Gathers client’s feedback at each stage
• Re-Assess the risks periodically
• Use client’s Input to continually improve your eLearning course design
 RAPID PROTOTYPING
• In 1990,Tripp and Bichelmeyer developed the Rapid
Prototyping Instructional Design Model.
• Rapid Prototyping is the creation of product
simulations to be used for testing and validation
during the product development process , while
multiple iterations generated during a short period of
time based on user feedback and analysis
• Much like the ADDIE Model, Rapid Prototyping still
involves a front-end analysis.
RAPID PROTOTYPING
MODEL
 ADVANTAGES
• Discovering problems early in the design process
• Gaining insights from the end-user regarding appearance
and usability.
• Reduce Development and operational costs
• Improve communication
• Reduce development time
• Produce a customized product that meets the client’s
demands
