As an Inuvialuk, my lens on the work I do, lessons I develop, and authenticity I like to provide, I would recommend ADDIE to be redefined as below:
A = Audience: Developing a learning program should be developed with the audience in mind. What I create as an educator or guide is dependent on the age, geographic region, and economic intents. For example, what I develop to train individuals in the oil industry will be different than what I develop for those who are protecting our land, resources, and environment. Audience will help me decide what sensitivities to be mindful of and criteria to establish.
D = Design: I agree that design is the next phase and an important tool to determine next steps. Design should offer visual engagement while achieving the learning objectives set forth using the best tool with time and resources available.
I = Indigenize: Replacing Implement with Indigenize is of personal importance that is part of all of my work. This offers a lens from the perspective of an Indigenous person, at every opportunity possible towards reconciliation. If the trainer/developer is non-Indigenous, find opportunity to invite and collaborate with Indigenous teachers in a mindful and respectful way.
D = Development: This phase allows the three previous steps to be combined to develop the learning course. This is a critical phase and takes a larger portion of time than the previous as by trial-and-error glitches will be corrected and the design program of choice has a critical role
E = Engage: Replacing Evaluation with engage is important as the entire intent for the training is to engage our audience. Engagement is very important in any learning program. Those that can engage, will have a deeper understanding and an interest to dig deeper. If we focus on engaging our audience versus evaluating the responses, our time will be better spent on developing valuable material as evaluations tend to take a tremendous amount of time. How well an audience engages is the evaluation.
