How does the ADDIE model affect the cost of a training program?

The ADDIE model can affect the cost of a training program in several ways. Firstly, it is a structured and systematic approach, which can lead to efficiency in the design and delivery of the training, potentially reducing costs. However, the model can also be time-consuming and costly due to its rigidity and linearity. It requires a set order of steps to be followed, which may not always be practical or cost-effective. Furthermore, it does not lend itself to iterative design, meaning it may not be as flexible to adapt to changes, which could lead to increased costs if changes are needed.

Question was asked on:

There are many advantages to ADDIE. ADDIE is commonly used, proven to be effective for learning, and widely accepted. It's also a key foundation for most other learning models, and is easy to measure in terms of time spent and associated cost. The disadvantages are that the model can be rigid and linear since its original intent was meant to be followed in a set order. It can also be time-consuming, costly, and doesn't lend itself to iterative design because it's not as flexible to adapt to changes. (Slide 3)
