ARCS? ADDIE? Or Gagne's 9 Events? by Geraldine McElvaney https://padlet.com/geraldinemcelvaney1/gncf0niktyk0 Use this Padlet to share your thoughts on the different IDs to date.

While ADDIE provides a practical step-by-step approach to Instructional Design, I feel that in particular the design, development and implementation of course content is considerably enhanced by the application of ARC and Gagné’s Nine Events.  As educators we all want to capture and nurture learners’ interest with relevant and rich content, which is easy to remember, answers their ‘what’s in it for me?’ question and is delivered through a variety of teaching methods. 

While ADDIE provides a mechanism for managing the various stages of Instructional Design, ARC and Gagné’s Nine Events provide guidance information on how we go about making our content relevant and our delivery efficient and effective in terms of achieving learning outcomes.

Mostly because it is easiest to remember and therfore to apply to course content.
It "does what it says on the tin" as a method. The short acronym gains my (short) attention span, Relevance to the learner keeps them interested and confidence through practice and ease of use leads to satisfaction all around. I can see these elements in Gagne's model and in ADDIE too, but 4 letters wins for me.
