E-Learning Curriculum Development

Guide for creating effective, standards-compliant e-learning experiences using modern instructional design best practices.

Quick Start: The ADDIE Framework

All curriculum development follows the ADDIE lifecycle:

1. Analyze → Learner needs, context, constraints
2. Design → Objectives, structure, assessments
3. Develop → Content, media, interactions
4. Implement → Delivery, facilitation, support
5. Evaluate → Formative and summative assessment

For rapid, iterative projects, use SAM (Successive Approximation Model) instead. See ./instructional-design-models.md.
