Develop
Let's review. You have conducted an analysis of your audience, designed your objectives and assessments and now, you're ready to develop. The development stage is the most detailed and time consuming stage of the Addie Instructional Design Model, but also the one that allows for the most creativity.
It's important to write an outline as you develop. You may adjust the outline along the way, but it will provide structure so that you can see the end in mind. In developing your course, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Determine Delivery Method
More than likely, this will have been done already for you. You should know if your course is distance or on-campus and develop accordingly.
2. Select Text and Resources
There is a very specific procedure to follow regarding textbooks. In this step, you will select materials for the course if the faculty chair or coordinator has not already selected these. There are four stages to selecting the material for a course.
- Solicit Examination Copies from Publishers
If a publisher will not send an examination copy of any book directly to you, then you should have it sent to you c/o your chair or coordinator who will make sure that it is delivered to you. You may create a login for Faculty Center www.facultycenter.net to find textbooks.
- Select Text(s) and other various resources
Keep your student's budget in mind when selecting texts and try to be economical. Be careful in distinguishing between required texts for your course and recommended texts. You should seek to vary the resources. Select online and multimedia resources when possible. Consider e-books, journal articles, textbooks, websites as opposed to the traditional approach of only using a textbook and delivering lecture notes.
- Consider Potential Blackboard Enhancements
Some courses come with Blackboard "cartridges" which are full of multimedia. There are also many online resources you can pull from (see step #6).
- Seek Chair Approval of Text(s)
Send a description of the various course materials to the faculty chair or coordinator for approval before proceeding. Note: If you are using bundled books, the Chair/Coordinator will need the bundle ISBN number created by the publisher. Be sure you have clarified with your department Chair, the important due dates to know when textbook adoptions are due. If the course you are developing is being taught the next semester coming up, receive approval for the adoptions two weeks before the adoption due date.
3. Construct Syllabus
Your school may require you to use a syllabus template, or you may need to develop one from scratch. Regardless, be sure to include the objectives for the course in the syllabus. Since you are developing a course that may be taught by another instructor, don't put your personal information on the syllabus. Let the instructors of the various sessions do that when they are assigned to teach.
As you develop your course, you can complete the rest of the syllabus template. We advise you to include an assignment schedule of due dates 
for assessments within the syllabus itself and as another separate document.
4. Determine Course Schedule
5. Plan Instructional Strategies
You'll need to think through what is the best strategy to use to reach your course objectives. You will also need to consider sequencing-- the specific order of given instructional activities so that students can build from the foundational elements. Keep Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning in mind when doing this.
6. Select/Create Multimedia
Merlot - MERLOT is a free and open resource designed primarily for faculty and students of higher education. Links to online learning materials are collected here along with annotations such as peer reviews and assignments. You are welcome to browse the collection or search for materials.
Lola is an exchange for facilitating the sharing of high-quality learning objects. It contains materials for use across the curriculum, with a particular focus on modules for Information Literacy.
iLumina is a digital library of sharable undergraduate teaching materials for chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and computer science. It is designed to connect users quickly with the educational resources they need. These resources range in type from highly granular objects such as individual images and video clips to entire courses.Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction includes links to a number of discrete searchable repositories: the MLX contains faculty assignments, Teaching/Learning on the Web, Problem Based Learning and others. Unlike MERLOT, some of the repositories only accept submissions from Maricopa faculty. However, all of the databases are open for the public to use.
The Center for Teaching & Learning can help you create your own media piece to illustrate a concept that supports a learning objective in your course; simply complete the Media Request Form.
7. Identify Library and Web Resources
Now let's take a look at the Rubric that will help you to make sure your course is meeting your goals!
