INTRODUCTION
To grasp the basics of developing and designing instructional deliverables, the ADDIE Model is a great place to start. ADDIE stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. It is a 5-step sequence used to methodically and strategically create instructional materials and delivery. It serves as a blueprint and roadmap to ensure the instruction not only meets the learning objective but also enhances the learning experience (Davis, 2013).
Another approach to designing instruction is David Merrill's Pebble-in-the-Pond Model. This model extends the design principles into six phases. Merrill's concept of instructional design takes a different technique where it starts from the whole problem versus developing objectives as ADDIE does (Brown & Green, 2020).

Analyze your situation to understand the gaps you need to fill. A thorough needs analysis is key to identifying goals and objective.
Based on your analysis, make informed decisions to provide the best possible learning experience. This phase helps decide the best tools to use such as video or graphics to make.
Bring your content elements from the design phase to life by building the course, creating graphics, etc. Testing the instruction will be conducted in this phase.
After creating and testing is done, it can now be distributed your to your audience.
Evaluate your product for its effectiveness. Gather feedback and make any necessary improvements.
Merrill's Pebble in the Pond focuses more on the design aspects than the ADDIE model. It begins with identifying a problem the learner must be abe to solve. The following step is the creation of a series of increasingly complex problems. The third step is determining the skills required to attack the problem. The next step is to design the framework for problems and task-centered strategies. The fifth step would be to finalize the design and all instructional materials. Lastly, create an evaluation process to collect data that provides feedback on the course.
