ADDIE the Acronym - 1995 While the ADDIE model has been around
since at least 1975, it was generally known as SAT (System
Approach to Training) and later, ISD (Instructional System
Design). The use of the ADDIE acronym did not come about until
much later. Now there are probably earlier uses, but these are
the earliest references that I have been able to locate that
actually use the acronym of ADDIE. 1. Schlegel, M. J. (1995) A
Handbook of Instructional and Training Program Design. ERIC
Document Reproduction Service ED383281 I have not read the
handbook, but rather an abstract that I found in my library's
database (Sno-Isle Libraries). It reads in part: The generic
Design Model of Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation,
and Evaluation (ADDIE) is utilized, and detailed job aids are
provided in the form of rating sheets and checklists. 2.
