ADDIE is just a framewok for projects. Most of us think linearly, and like a linear framewok within which to work. That's just the same as us reading a book from page 1 to page 999. Same as watching a film from beginning to end. Listening to a song from the start all the way until the last note.

So ADDIE will live on, in some format or another, for as long as people think linearly.

I think some here are also attributing ADDIE to the way the training turns out. Modern ideas can suggest all they like that we 'want' or 'need' non-linear training, and for many users and many applications that is true. But much of the time, you just cannot change the need to learn about a before you can learn about b, then c, then d ... Love it or hate it, that kind of training fits right in with the ADDIE production process.

I'll be happy to never see or hear ADDIE mentioned ever again. Maybe someone will change the name, but it will still be around in 100 years :-)
