TASK 2 ADDIE (IMPLEMENTATION) - 29.1.2010



The Implementation phase

Implementation is the fourth phase from the ADDIE model.
This is the phase where the developed course is actually administered to the target audience. The delivery environment should be prepared for implementation of the course. The following considerations are also taken into account during this phase.
Planning for implementation is important. After all the analysis, design and development the team has done so far it would be terrible if the instruction or project fails due to poor implementation.



During the implementation phase, a procedure for training the facilitators and the learners is developed. The facilitators' training should cover the course curriculum, learning outcomes, method of delivery, and testing procedures. Preparation of the learners includes training them on new tools (software or hardware) and student registration.
This is also the phase where the project manager ensures that the books, hands-on equipment, tools, CD-ROMs and software are in place, and that the learning application or website is functional.

Here are just a few of the implementation issues that the delivery team will need to decide.

-Establish the timetable for the course rollout
-Schedule the courses, enroll learners, and reserve on-site and off-site classrooms
-Notify learners and their supervisors about the course
-Select trainers and prepare them with a custom train-the-trainer
-Arrange for the printer to deliver course workbooks to the class site
-Ensure all sites will have internet-ready computers and arrange for laptops to be shipped when necessary
-Manage travel and expenses for the trainers and/or learners

How to be a good listener?

  1. Learn to listen by using lots of eye contact:
    Let the speaker know that you are interested in what is being said
  2. Be slow to speak:
    Sometimes, people speak to think out loud. Sometimes, all they really want is a shoulder to lean on and a willing ear to listen. By being slow to speak, you are allowing the speaker to work out or solve problems themselves. Also, one must think before he/she speaks
  3. Keep the secret:
    People trust you with information because they believe that you will not gossip and spread slander. Keep their trust by keeping things private; between the two of you
  4. Be Attentive:
    Learn to actively listen. Let the speaker know that you are actually listening, although you are not speaking, by saying things like, "yeah, hmmm, I know, that's true, okay, that makes sense," and so forth. This shows that you are in tune with what they are saying and also following what they are saying
  5. Show Gratitude:
    Let the speaker know that you feel honored that they were able to open up to you. If nothing personal was said, than let the speaker know that you had a great time listening and that you learned a lot. In a society that forgets to show gratitude, a simple use of kind words, can make someone's day a little brighter. Showing kindness and appreciation will also help you with the interviewer
  6. Stay in Tune:
    Do not simply disappear in the middle of any conversation because your mind wandered. Whether you actually get up and walk away or let your mind wander elsewhere, it is just being plain rude. If you find that your attention span is small, actively repeat what is being said to you as the speaker is speaking
