The learning module for Cornella Brothers Inc. centers on a major focus of the organization that being safety. There are several factors that demand attention when developing a learning module. Fortunately, there are models and guides such as the ADDIE Model and the Sloan Common Course Elements guide which ensure quality and consistency in instruction design of courses. This paper will discuss the ADDIE Model’s impact on the development of this module as well as chart the components of the safety module for Cornella Brothers.
ADDIE Model
The ADDIE Model is a “systematic instructional design model consisting of five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation” (Learning-Theories, n.d., p. 1). Thorough discussion of the application of ADDIE Model to ID has been considered in this course. As such, it has been determined that basic elements of this model can easily be applied to course modules. The following are ways in which the ADDIE Model has been applied to the safety course at Cornella Brothers Inc.
Analysis
The initial stage in the ADDIE Model is the analysis of the learning needs. This stage encompasses the goals for the program, the needs of the learners, the knowledge base of the students and the other needs or necessary information for the course (Learning-Theories, n.d.). This course module for Cornella Brothers Inc. focuses on safety for new employees. This course is necessary to properly orientate new employees to the company’s requirements for safe operation of heavy equipment, general safety at the job site, as well as the company’s expectations regarding intoxicating substances and policies.
This stage of the ADDIE process involves considering what the students need and what t...

These learning objectives are provided to give the employee a better understanding of what will be taught and learned through this orientation course. These objectives are just the very basic to what will be taught.

Employee training can reduce or eliminate unsafe behaviors by teaching the employees how to perform their job safely. The training needs to be specific on what the employee is expected to do (Bernardin & Russell, 2013). For instance; if an employee was lifting heavy boxes all day, they need to be taught to bend at the knees and always use both hands to prevent back injuries.

...cally, many of these programs once existed in Schools and Community Centers but because of the lack of funding were cut or deemed unessential. By focusing on Schools and Community Centers, the PHN can affect change in younger generations and by doing so affect change in older generations by the spreading of interests and concerns for personal safety through education and mentorship, which would positively influence development of Personal Responsibility. Companies that show positive changes or maintain a high degree in Safety Program proficiency/effectively could receive tax breaks or other financial rewards. The development of these programs shall effect changes due to repetition and familiarity from on the job performance, and trickle down to the younger generations through proper mentorship with the overall effect increasing individual personal responsibility.

Gagné’s approach to instructional design is considered a seminal model that has influenced many other design approaches and particularly the Dick & Carey systems approach. Gagné proposed that events of learning and categories of learning outcomes together provide a framework for an account of learning conditions. The diagram below, from the third edition of The Conditions of Learning (Gagné, 1977), illustrates his vision of how the events of learning impact the conditions learning, which ultimately result in the learning outcomes, or learning capabilities.
The HR manager can use the five step analyze, design, develop, implement and evaluate (ADDIE) training process to introduce a program that will be effective. There will be strategic training needs analysis to train employees to fit future jobs. Current needs analyses train current and new employees. Task analysis identifies specific skills training needed. The HR manager after the analysis the designs the training program with its objectives, delivery method and program evaluation. Then the manager will implement the training with on the job training where the person learns while doing the job and , apprenticeship training where the employee becomes skilled while having formal and on the job training. There can be formal lectures, programmed learning, audiovisual training and use of electronic media training
Instructional Design is a systematic approach to design, evaluation and management of instruction. It helps to facilitate learning in an effort to improve. There are many models that have been developed to assist in the design of instructional materials. This paper will compare three: ADDIE, ASSURE and Kemp with a focus on online learning.
Introduction Canadian health and safety legislation requires companies and organizations to make a commitment towards occupational health and safety. Maintaining a safe workplace environment has numerous benefits. A safe work environment can boost employee morale, increase productivity, and improve job satisfaction. For companies and organizations, these benefits can lead to less turnover and increased employee retention. They can also reduce absenteeism while improving the culture and image of a company or organization.
Throughout the course of the lesson, it may take multiple sessions before the student is ready to independently practice the skills learned. Anticipated lesson duration is included with each lesson plan provided in this instructional unit. Madeline Hunter’s Seven Steps of Instruction includes stating the objectives, anticipatory set, teacher input, modeling, checking for understanding, guided practice, and independent practice (Hunter, 2004). For the purpose of this instructional unit, input and modeling have been condensed into a streamlined event; as well has, checking for understanding and guided practice. This form of lesson planning is preferred within the Elkin City Schools district and lends itself to the creation of engaging lessons.

Regulation compliance, employee safety, fire safety, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, hazardous waste removal, training procedures, and management relations are samples of features taken into consideration during a Safety Major’s day. Though there are numerous specializations safety professions can choose, a base knowledge in all fields is essential for a successful career. Therefore, I intend to pursue a continuation of safety certifications that will demonstrate a persistent ability to learn about my career. For the initial duration of my profession, I hope to obtain an Environmental Health and Safety specialist entry level position for an established organization. If the opportunity arises, I will promote within the same organization until
