What is the fourth phase of the ADDIE model?

The fourth phase of the ADDIE model is focused on Implementation. In this stage, the instructional materials and content that were developed in the previous phases are put into action. This involves delivering the training program to the learners and involves various activities, such as scheduling, resource allocation, and providing the necessary support to both instructors and learners.

Implementation is critical because it is the phase where the theoretical aspects of the previous phases, such as Analysis, Design, and Development, come to fruition in a real-world setting. This phase ensures that learners engage with the materials, understand the content, and can apply what they have learned. Effective implementation also requires monitoring ongoing training sessions to make sure that everything operates smoothly and to address any unforeseen issues.

Evaluating the success of the implementation can take place in later phases, but the primary focus of this stage is on the practical delivery and facilitation of the training program itself.
