Abstract

This paper will be stepping though the design and development of a learning tool that has been designed to simulate the process of assembling a computer, specifically for students studying in flexible mode. It will be analysing this product’s design by looking closely at processes followed, choices made and problems conquered.

The structure of this paper will replicate the model used in the design of this product, the ADDIE model. Standing for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation, the ADDIE model is a generic and simplified instructional systems design (ISD) model.
