The Volt is a joke.
ADDIE: SS1
There are five stages to the ADDIE model – analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. To a gearhead such as myself, these stages represent forward gears on a manual transmission. First gear is only intended to get the vehicle moving. If you don’t stop, you don’t need first gear. This was the thought behind the “dog leg first” manual gearboxes. Gearbox Magazine has been operating for the better part of a year, now, but as this is my first structured attempt at applying the ADDIE model to the project, I’m starting things off in first gear. Over and down.

Introducing the ADDIE Model
In my current position as a Training Administrator for a larger, private university, I do more curriculum development than actual training administration. Along the way, I’ve learned quite a bit about instructional design. I’m by no means an expert, but I find this subject extremely stimulating and I hope to apply some of what I’m learning on the job to the Gearbox project.
