ADDIE Model

In Elearning, the ADDIE model is used to monitor the process of product development. ADDIE stands for: A for Analysis D for Design D for Development I for Implementation E for Evaluation When we create any training material which has audio and graphics, it has to go through the above five stages. Analysis: At the start of the project, requirement analysis is done. The requirement analysis will include: Why are we building this training? How can we build this training? How much time do we have to build this training? What is the budget do we have to create this training?

Web-Based Training (WBT)

The web is a synonym for online. Broadly, any training material such as a PDF, video, or Game can be labeled as WBT if it is delivered online. However, in the learning industry, specific training is labeled as WBT. Generally, a learning or marketing video has a duration of 1 minute to 10 minutes depending upon context and audience. A video is a passive element where it shares information with learners but they cannot interfere with what is delivered. Source: www.pexels.com On the other hand, a game is controlled by the learner. The learner performs certain tasks to complete the different challenges proposed in the game. Here, the learner is in a control of his or her learning. Game is an active element where the learner learns while performing various activities. Source: www.pexels.com Then, there are WBT modules that take a middle path between Videos and Games.
