Experience Design Foundations I Questions
With All Correct Answers
What does the ADDIE model stand for? Correct answer-Analysis
Design
Development
Implementation
Evaluation
What does SAM stand for? Correct answer-Successive Approximation Model
What does UbD stand for? Correct answer-Understanding by Design
What is the difference between ADDIE, SAM, and UbD? Correct answer-ADDIE offers a stepwise
process for design development. SAM was developed as a more rapid process. Both ADDIE and SAM
are primarily focused on the learning objectives (LO), content, or instructor activities. UbD is a
different approach focused on learner outcomes. The UbD process begins with the definition of
expected outcomes, then develops the strategy for assessing student acquisition of those
understandings, followed by the development of learning activities or experiences.
What is ADDIE? Correct answer-A process used by training developers and instructional designers
to plan and create effective learning experiences
During this phase, the instructional designer gathers information about the target audience's existing
knowledge and skills to clarify the instructional problem. Correct answer-Analyze
During this phase, instructional designers write the learning objectives and plan the assessments and
outline the instructional content for the learning experience. Correct answer-Design
During this phase, the developers create and assemble the content assets and assessments.
Correct answer-Development
During this phase, learners get to engage with the learning experience to achieve their learning
goals. Correct answer-Implementation
During this phase, designers gather feedback and use it to revise and improve the learning
experience. Correct answer-Evaluation
What are the stages/phases in SAM? Correct answer-Preparation, Iterative design, Iterative
development, Alpha release, Beta release, Gold release
In what way is SAM an iterative process? Correct answer-By gaining user feedback earlier in the
design process to more quickly and efficiently modify user experience and content
Determine if the following statements apply to SAM, ADDIE, or both.
This model can sometimes be a time-consuming, linear process. Correct answer-ADDIE
This model is adaptable and offers flexibility in the design process. Correct answer-ADDIE
, This model has the develop, evaluate, and design phases. Correct answer-Both
This model allows for collaboration earlier in the process. Correct answer-SAM
What is Understanding by Design? Correct answer-A planning process and structure to guide
curriculum, assessment, and instruction that focuses on teaching and assessing for understanding
and learning transfer
Match the Understanding by Design stage with the process that occurs during that stage.
Determine goals, content standards, and curriculum expectations. Correct answer-Identify desired
results
Match the Understanding by Design stage with the process that occurs during that stage.
Consider what is needed to document and validate that targeted learning has been achieved.
Correct answer-Determine assessment evidence
Match the Understanding by Design stage with the process that occurs during that stage.
Outline lessons and learning activities. Correct answer-Plan learning experiences
A learning designer is planning for a prototype of their e-learning course.
Which phase of ADDIE is the learning designer planning for? Correct answer-Development
A learning designer is developing a corporate-level course on workplace communication. After
articulating the enduring understandings and goals for the course, learning designers determine that
learners will demonstrate their understanding by successful completion of a communication
improvement plan. Now they are working on developing the learning activities that will scaffold up to
that final product.
Which design model is the learning designer using? Correct answer-Understanding by Design
(backward design)
A learning designer is creating a course for college-level instructors who will be using a new online
learning platform. Time is limited, so after evaluating the instructional problem and creating goals
and objectives, they have developed a working model to gain user feedback earlier in the process.
This user feedback, acquired quickly and early, will inform the learning designer of needed
modifications.
Which design model is the learning designer using? Correct answer-SAM
How does Understanding by Design (UbD) benefit learners? Correct answer-By putting the focus
on the goal and learner success in demonstrating understanding
Design thinking is a highly iterative process that involves five stages: Correct answer-Empathize
Define
Ideate
Prototype
